Cinque Terre Tour - The tour was magnificent. Between discovering the Cinque Terre, swimming in the crystal-clear sea, and enjoying a delicious, gourmet aperitivo, we were delighted. Magda, Alessandro, and Alessio are charming and generous hosts.

It's got everything! Sea, wind, animals, food and good vibe! - Thank you very much for the boat tour of 5 terre! It was a really fun experience, we created a nice group and Alessio, the captain's right-hand man, was lovely. He gave us an explanation of each small town we were passing, entertained us with typical piqueos of the region and a delicious champagne. We even interact with a seagull while sailing and swimming surrounded by fish! They lent us scuba gear and towels. It was a dream ride, Service highly recommended, thank you Captain Ale!

Ale Terre 5 Boat Tour - Don't miss this tour Friendly and personable - Magda, Alessandro, Alessio thank you for such a friendly open welcome on board your beautiful boat. From my 1st communication with you, you kept me updated via Whats app of my upcoming tour. I really felt I was amoungst friends. The information you gave us about the history along the stunning coastline with historical buildings, terraced vines, aqua clear waters, towering cliff faces, the swims with rocks bathed in corals and little fish to watch when snorkelling. The local produce aperitifs were 1st class, beautifully presented and so tasty. The pesto and cheese were my favourite but every plate was enjoyed by everyone on board. I certainly will boast your company to anyone I meet coming to this region. I feel very lucky to have chosen your tour group. Well done 👏 Bravo. Im disappointed not to add photos. My photos size too large

Best way to see CT! - I cannot think of a better way to experience seeing Cinque Terre! The captain and the guide are friends and they made us feel so welcome. Two parents and 5 kids 23-15 years of age from New York. Hard to believe that the food was incredible, but it was!! We had planned to walk through a couple of the towns afterwards, but wale all agreed seeing CT from the sea was the very best way to experience it. The swims in the sea were memorable and all of us can’t recommend it enough. Loved every second, no regrets.

Amazing views! - This is the best way to see all the villages especially when it is so hot. You get to see the villages from a totally different perspective. You get to swim and go snorkeling. They also serve prosecco and a yummy lunch. The views are spectacular! Don't second guess tour. Just do it!

The best thing we did in all of Italy!!! - This is a MUST do experience in Cinque Terre! I can't speak highly about this tour. It included seeing all 5 villages, drinks and tapes, 2 swims, local knowledge and a fabulous time! Alessandro and Alessio will give you the most fabulous time. I rate this a the No1 highlight our our Italy trip! Swimming in the bluest crystal clear water, getting up close to the towns and seeing them from the ocean was amazing. The food, the company and the professionalism of this company was just wonderful! They were also one of the best priced boat tours around. 10/10
