Amazing trip around the other parts of La Spezia not including the cinque terre! Was nice to hop on and off the boat and explore the smaller villages as well as swim in the sea! Great music and vibes on the boat and a lovely way to spend the afternoon!

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

Beautiful experience thanks to the skipper Alessandro, highly recommended!

Excellent quick tour, beautiful sea and picturesque places

Most enjoyable activity being on the water fabulous
