    First off, Enrico and his drivers were so professional, punctual and courteous. Enrico was so responsive, patient and quick to answer all my questions. All areas were picturesque! There were 16 of us and the 2 vans were just right and comfy.. The costs of the vehicles were not bad considering we divided the costs by 16 people.

    The tour itself wasn't too bad also. We enjoyed the picturesque Santa Margharita, Portofino and Camogli. If I can make a suggestion, Enrico need to train his drivers to speak English. Grazi Enrico !

    This tour was the best! We loved every second of our time with our guide and group! Our guide was very accommodating and the communication was great! Our train ride from Genoa to Santa Margherita was 50+ minutes late. We were worried we were going to miss the meet up time so we texted with an update and she set up another meeting point for us at the ferry station instead. We made it just in time for the 10:15am ferry. Our guide was so knowledgeable and gave just the right amount of info! Myself and my 19 year old sister loved it. We had a small group of 5 which was perfect, another couple and a solo traveler. It’s so nice to have these small groups because you really get to know the others with you as well as the guide and the area which we liked. The tour itself is great and the pesto making class was so fun and yummy!! Lunch and drinks were also great! The location for the class was just beautiful!! We were dying over the background! The staff at the restaurant were all so nice too…food was delish and our pesto turned out perfecto!! You will not be disappointed in this tour! Book it now!!

    We had a perfect day on the water with Captain Mike! He was so welcoming from the start, and met us at the train station. The water and scenery was unbelievable - one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Mike provides an amazing lunch, snacks, drinks. This was definitely a highlight of our trip - just book it, you won't regret it!!

    The tour was very informative. We got to walk around Genoa and learn all about its history. We then took a bus ride to St Margharita Ligure and had some lunch there and got to explore the beautiful beachside town. In total we had about 2 hours of free time here. Then, from there, we took a ferry to Portofino. Portofino is incredible but the only thing I would say is that I wish we got more free time in Portofino. We only had about 1.15minutes. I think 2 hours would have been nice. Otherwise, it is a great tour.

    It was great trip, seeing the history of Genova & where Christofer Colombie was born was a plus. I liked walking in it’s narrow streets & experiencing it Salvatore was a great guide. He was helpful w where to go & knew the area well. Portofino is the best one with great shopping & best views & the best gelato in Italy.

    The excursion was amazing.
    The location is beautiful and the staff is very kind.
    For people getting scared there is a member of the staff following with a paddle to keep moving with the group.
    Would recommend 100%

    Sara was a wonderful guide and the kayak tour could not have been better. Great place to rent as well. I went back to rent a kayak two more times and Sara and the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful. Oh, and this area is incredibly beautiful as well! Quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend!

    We booked with Andrea and communication and meeting spot were perfectly explained. This outing was magical from start to finish! One picturesque town after another, a beautiful swim spot, drinks, and some shopping. Andrea’s boat was beautiful, and comfortable; drinks and towels were provided. I couldn’t recommend this enough, no better way to see all the port towns and Andrea filled us in on history, celebrity home owners, and best spots to eat and shop!

    I cannot thank Rocco enough for the amazing time we had with him. In the words of my 6-year olds, it was “the best day ever.” He was thoughtful and courteous and went out of his way to ensure that my twins were both cared for and entertained. The boat was certainly comfortable for our group (4) and allowed for a great combination of swimming, snorkelling, tubing and visiting both Portofino and Camogli. Rocco is clearly experienced and knows the area like the back of his hand. If and when back in the area we will 100% book another day (or two) on the water with him. Thanks Rocco!

    My girlfriend and I had the most wonderful experience sailing with Giacomo from Santa Margherita Ligure to the Cinque Terre Marine Reserve. Although the cruise is lengthy, the scenery towards the 5 Villages is immaculate and enriched by Giacomo's historical knowledge of the area. The tour take the full day, as going a coming back is roughly 3 hours (in total - 1.5 each way). Venti's team is super, always nice, accommodating and speak perfect English and French (greatly appreciated given it was our first time in Italy and we were a bit scared). A huge bravo and grazi mille to Giacomo and his wonderful crew for making these Ligurian days so special.

    Great day with Alesandra! Be ready to walk but at a pleasant pace. It was nice to have the luxury to customize the day to your needs. Lastly, she brought delicious focaccia breads as a snack!

    Emanuele was a perfect host and great boat driver. The outing he planned was the perfect way to experience Portofino and the surrounding towns. He even brought aboard a feast of fresh local focaccia with various toppings and had multiple cold beverages available, including vino. We thoroughly enjoyed our day on the water with him and would highly recommend this experience. Grazie mille Emanuele.
