Beautiful area, Comfortable boat, great accomidating captain - What a wonderful tour. I have been on many tour boats and other boats all over the world and this boat was one of the most comfortable little boats I've ever been on. The skill and professionalism of captain Marina was excellent. We had a couple difficulties getting to the start site of the tour with us not realizing how far the start was from cruise ship until the day before and then our cab got stuck in an hour traffic jam with a car accident completely blocking the road. Both of these things happened after the no refund time and so she could have just said we missed the tour. She adjusted the time of our tour and even came back for us when we missed the adjusted time due to traffic. I know she was only able to do this because there was not a later tour that day and the other group on the tour was OK with the adjusted time. The tour was excellent. She stopped many times on our way to and from Portofino to show us various areas along the coast She would tell us about. The highlight of course was arriving into the beautiful town of Portofino by boat. We had time to wander around and get Gelato and get back on the boat to explore more of the coast. She took us to an Abby to see from the boat and then allowed me to snorkel Christ of the Abbys statue and she had very reasonable snorkel equipment and swimming noodle available. It is the end of March. She told me she didn't think I would be able to see it because the water was cloudy in winter and the water temp was only about 57 degrees F but she let me try. The water was too cloudy as she thought. I could probably see down 20feet and the statue is about 60 feet down but I tried (I have snorkeled the key largo version so didn't want to pass up this opportunity). Overall, the tour was excellent. The boat ride was very comfortable and relaxing and felt so much like the way the area was meant to be seen. Arriving into Portofino on a small boat by an excelent captain driving the boat was a dream come true. Her English was also excellent. Our 10 year old son from USA has had difficulty understanding many English speaking tour guides on this trip but he had no difficulty understanding Marina. She was excelent and I can not speak more highly of her tour.

Nice trip to Portofino - The,trip was very nice. Marina, the trip operator, took a good care of us. And the stop at Portofino was long enough to get a good idea of the town.

Rapallo to Portofino - The scenery and the lady pilot was most obliging. The weather wasn’t the greatest. Porofino was awesome

Bucket List Item...Check! - This is a trip everyone should take as part of their bucket list. Period, full stop. This area is so magical, the water is so blue, the weather is so amazing...this is where the billionaires go to vacation, but this tour was affordable for us "normal" folks and the memory of it will last the rest of our lives. If you are in Liguria, I recommend this tour!

Well Worth It - Our guide was excellent. We saw and learned a lot about the coast, swam and had time to visit Portofino. I would say we had a great time. We were lucky that our group was only 6 people in total. anymore may have felt a bit cramped.

Great tour for a good price - We really enjoyed this tour - it left and returned on time, we enjoyed having free time to walk around Portofino, and the tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We wish there were more opportunities to swim, but as there were jellyfish in the water when we did our tour, many in our group did not feel safe swimming at the second location.
