A wonderful experience along the coast in a boat with a lot of charm and all the Italian touch in its best version. We did it as a couple and it totally exceeded our expectations. Andrea, who speaks Spanish, English and, of course, Italian, makes the day a great time and difficult to forget. Snorkeling, wonderful views, Porto Venere, Riomaggiore… Thank you very much and we are waiting for you in Madrid!

A beautiful and extensive boat tour from La Spezia to Portovenere and Riomaggiore. Along the way 2 stops for snorkelling, then an hour and a half of free time in Riomaggiore to stroll and have lunch and a cow stop in Portovenere for a little walk and an ice cream. Andrea is very attentive, can tell a lot about the area. Recommended!

The excursion was amazing, we did the both (because we enjoy so much the first that we decided to retake the one for sunset) It was amazing, the capitain his so cool !!! Absolutely stunning

Wonderful tour. The only negative note is the absence of a guide to illustrate places and tell the history and / or characteristics of the places. I advise

So recommend this personal experience. Loved having the boat almost to ourselves!
