We had a great day. Sergio is an amazing host, he takes the time to show around and explain each place. The landscape, the color of the water and the colored houses are fantastic. PS important to know in advance if we are seasick, as the waves can be strong. There were 13 of us on the boat for the trip and only me and my wife came back for the return trip because the others were sick.

It was a wonderful experience and felt like a luxury trip on the boat with Jonathon. I would recommend to take this tour in morning as you will get to swim in crystal clear water and enjoy the sunrise at the same time.

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

Amazing way to see the five villages. Matteo was a great host - very friendly, funny and full of knowledge. Definitely recommend jumping in for a swim!

Excellent activated! Ideal for a day of relaxation: boating, swimming, a walk in Monterosso with enough time for a restaurant.
