Traveler Reviews of Tours in Pisa

This was a very fun activity in a beautiful area! One thing to note - although it is list as wheelchair accessible, it's really not. The road going down to the beach is extremely steep (the taxi driver tried to talk us out of it because it's dangerous), and you need to somehow get to the kayaks on the beach and have a way to get out of the kayak to explore the beaches at the stopping points. The kayaking distance is long, about 10-12km so make sure you can handle that. The guides were very friendly and went out of their way to help me in my manual wheelchair and even went above and beyond. Good thing I'm so adventurous, and that they were willing to help!

The guides were great and helpful but it should be noted that this is not an easy kayaking experience. It is long (and the guides will assist you if you need help, they took our two kids in one kayak for instance) and a bit rocky if you get easily sea sick. It’s a beautiful view though. The other thing to note is that there are mosquitoes in the cave and though we were only there for 15 min, we got pretty bit up. Beware!

"This was a fun experience however it could have been improved by the following. Increased safety and supervision, that is a briefing at beginning of the tour. The kayaking itself was good, but due to bad weather the day before it did not allow us into the caves. Also it was only 3 hours, not 4. The guide Luca was good."

Amazing experience! Tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient with us that were inexperienced with kayaking. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the La Spezia area!

We had the most amazing time seeing the beautiful coastline from offshore. The whole team were great fun, and so dedicated to providing an excellent experience. On top of that, the kayaking was super easy and the views were incredible! Thank you so much for an excellent afternoon!

Fantastic evening/ sunset kayaking tour. The guides were so helpful and friendly they even helped us organise our way home. The views are amazing and the sea is gorgeous

"Absolutely amazing! Cool tour, beautiful nature and places you won't see or find otherwise! A little exhausting in the end, but definately worth it! On top of that the guides were cool dudes. Shoutout to the guys ✌🏾"

"This trip was really nice luca picked me up from my hotel as I lived in la spezia. we had a great Kayak tour with amazing views we saw three caves and swimmed in a place like heaven. I really recommend this tour and don't worry you don't need to be athletic to do it and you don't need to be fast they will wait for you and if things went wrong they will pull you with robe . "

Such an amazing experience with very relaxed as well as friendly tour guides. We would really recommend this experience!

A very friendly team, an enjoyable location and a nice activity. There was a small technical issue and the weather led to a date change, but the organizers were very helpful with a nice cocktail!

The tour is definitely worth it since the views and sea are lovely. There is enough time included in the tour to take a break and go for a swim. Luca, our guide, was kind and patient

An unforgettable experience! At first I was a bit afraid, but the guides were kind and patient, and accompanied me to beautiful places!

We took part in a boat tour departing from La Spezia to discover Portovenere and the whole wonderful gulf, and we can only define it a magical experience! On board we immediately felt welcomed: the professional, kind and always smiling crew made everything even more special. The tour started in the late afternoon, sailing along the coast between the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, with an exciting stop right in front of picturesque Portovenere. The sunset that reflected on the sea created a dreamy atmosphere, perfect to start the aperitif: fresh prosecco and a relaxing playlist kicked off a truly unique evening. The dinner on board was the real surprise: fresh dishes and served with great care. All with the coast lit up in the background and the sea breeze that made everything even more impressive. And then... the party! After dinner the music turned on, the tempo picked up and the boat turned into a small floating disco. Dancing under the stars, with the moon reflecting off the sea, was the perfect way to end the evening.

Enjoying a fire sunset from Portovenere by boat with an aperitif in hand and music to dance to is really priceless! To be redone absolutely

Super recommended tour, both for an aperitif with friends and as a couple The experience is super suggestive, the sunset is breathtaking and the guys on board are very nice and helpful Very good food and drinks too The DJ set creates a perfect atmosphere, whether you sip a drink or dance when the sun goes down

From Spezzina, I must say that this experience was what was missing in summer evenings! The sunset view over the open sea, behind the church of Porto Venere is magical and unforgettable. All accompanied by music and cocktails. Super recommended, both for tourists and locals.

Fabulous location, dancing on the upper deck with the DJ who played throughout the evening, admiring the lights of Portovenere, is priceless. Great Service bar and food box suitable for the occasion. Highly recommended!

Beautiful evening. Well organized and not trivial. Beautiful music beautiful sunset. Both the food and the drink of excellent quality. Definitely to be redone

A truly unforgettable experience! The Sunset Boat Tour was the perfect opportunity to do something different with friends, away from the usual routine. Sailing at sunset, with a good cocktail in hand and music in the background, made everything even more magical and relaxing. We were able to admire the Gulf from a perspective that I personally love: from the sea. Seeing the coast glow orange was just spectacular. The atmosphere was cheerful, convivial and at the same time intimate. A perfect mix of fun and nature. I recommend it to those looking for a light but special experience, ideal for enjoying the sea, laughing with friends and living a sunset that you will not easily forget.

The tour was fantastic, we saw some beautiful places and we had fun dancing... and sipping aperitif I can’t wait to come back!!!

is an experience that I would recommend to everyone! I was with some friends at the sunset boat aperitif, we had a great time and we could admire Portovenere and the islands from a new perspective! The cocktails were great and the music accompanies and throughout the evening! beautiful memories of our little holiday!

Fantastic night. The food was excellent and the cabin crew super friendly and professional. The unforgettable sunset To be redone soon!!! I highly recommend it!!!

A perfect way to end the day in La Spezia. Stunning views, great aperitif, and a relaxed vibe on board. Highly recommended for a magical evening on the water!

This is the most romantic excursion we’ve ever done. Captain Marco is the best! He prepared us authentic Italian stuffed muscle, wine and Prosecco and pasta. We snorkeled near Tino Island and saw dolphins. The most amazing trip for couples. Thank you Marco we will never forget it!

We ended up being the only two people on the tour which was unreal! Marco was a great captain, checking in early to confirm weather conditions, providing yummy drinks and snacks (hands down the best Aperol Spritz of my life), and has some good playlists too. We stopped to swim at one point and he had snorkels available for us to use. The views were absolutely incredible everywhere you turned! Seeing Porto Verene has been on my bucket list ad I could not think of a more perfect way to go about it. Wouldn't hesitate to book with Marco again in future

Amazing, highlight of our trip to the area. A relaxing private boat tour, refreshing dip in the sea, beautiful sunset cruise, topped of with a delicious meal on board while anchored at bay. I would do this again and again!!

This was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had in Italy ! I ended up booking this last minute for a birthday surprise and it definitely exceeded my expectations!! Marco was amazing and kind. It ended up being just my group of 3 in the boat and as a group of only women we felt safe the entire time and highly recommend this!

There is something so special about touring the gulf in a traditional Italian boat that has been perfectly maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the water and would highly recommend this charter.

Marco was very kind and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Lots of stops for swimming in beautiful spots and a nice aperitif in the middle. Highly recommend blue moon and Marco (especially the morning option) if you’re looking for a boat tour!

We enjoyed the private tour on the boat a lot. Snacks, drinks, food and aperitive were included as advertised and tasted fantastic. Our captain did a wonderful job of maneuvering us around the gulf of poets and sometimes informing us about important landmarks via speakers. The weather was too cold for snorkeling and swimming so we were able to stroll around portovenere and lerici instead. All in all it was a fantastic tour that we would definitely recommend!

We had so much fun! Marco was amazing! Well worth the time and money! Very accommodating and is a great photographer! Would highly recommend to anyone!!!! We hope to do it again sometime!!

We had a great time! Our tour guide was very nice and took us to two different snorkeling locations. He didn’t speak much English but used google translate and played it aloud over a speaker for us so it worked out great! He served us Prosecco and bread. He had lots of water toys to play with including multiple floaties, boogie boards, and snorkeling gear. He even let us stay an extra 45 minutes longer with no cost. We recommend this trip to anyone!

Absolutely brilliant boat your! So many beautiful places seen and the captain is super lovely and friendly. Went with a group of friends and had the best day - would 100% recommend to anyone :) Well worth doing and would do again next time I'm here! Thanks Marco!!

Swimming in the clear blue water, Marco feeding seagulls right out of his hand, the delicious snacks and drinks, Marco’s passion and love for his country and his environment and his excitement at sharing it with others. Having a small group made it even more memorable and fun. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

"Fantastic boat tour on the coast of the cinque terre. We could even jump into the water to swim. The description of the tour should be however updated as we didn't received/used: Snorkelling equipment, beer, myrtle liqueur, water, soft drinks, juice, and iced tea. "

Welcoming, Marco and Carla are great and made us have a great time. Thank you very much.

Beautiful sights with amazing hosts (Marco and Eleonora). The best way to see The beauty of Cinque Terre is from the water. Having passionate locals tell us about the history and their adventures was a plus!

Just perfect. Crew was knowledgeable and kind. Good and drink were yummy and plenty. Snorkeling was a nice treat. And we got a beautiful one of a kind sunset.

Fantastic trip - Linda was an amazing guide. Beautiful landscape and a wonderful way to see cinque terra from the sea. Would highly recommend!!

An amazing sunset boat ride! Linda and the captain were both amazing, full of knowledge and stories about the towns in Cinqueterre - you can tell they are so passionate about what they do! We loved the boat ride (wasn’t too crowded either) and there was more than enough food and drink. I’m not normally one for reviews but this was definitely a highlight of our trip and we would recommend to anyone and everyone travelling to Cinqueterre! Great way to see the towns from a different perspective.

Great way to see all five villages, a very different perspective when viewed from the sea. Great hosts, and the food was good.

"Small boat with small group. Great Captain and mate that gave us many interesting details about each town. Delicious appetizers and wine! A great sunset too! I was really spectacular seeing the Cinque Terre from the Sea."

What a great time we had. Great little boat with max 12 people. We stopped for a swim in the beautiful clear water and Captain Marco had a fresh water shower for us when we got out. Information and history provided along the way and he made sure everyone could take photos by turning the boat around. Can play music through the speaker which just added to our time on the boat. Great snacks and drinks too. Highly recommend.

This is a small group tour with 12 seats on the boat. Our tour guide was great. He was a local with a lot of knowledge about the area. He handled the boat well and the music was fun.

"The trip to Porto Venere is about 45' and we see from the boat the 3 islands around , without stopping and after they leave us 4h in this port! The official boat from the city of La Spezia made the same trip 3X less expensive..."

Our young captain did a great job showing us the sights and describing them well in English. We truly loved Portovenere, its church, castle, and one of the best pizzas on our trip! We also truly loved what the stores had to offer. Having said that, the only minor quibble is that we felt four hours was a little long. We were ready to go after 3.5 hours.

Boat ride was very comfortable and the boat captain was knowledgeable and attentive to the passengers. The La Spezia harbor is sheltered and comfortable if you are unsure of you sick sickness.

This was a memorable trip on a RIB with our friendly and knowledgeable guide Nick. As well as a tour around the islands and outside caves, there was time for a swim off the boat for 10 minutes. Despite what other reviews have said, it was so easy to find the meet up on the promenade. Portovenere was great though could have done with more time as an hour was too short by the time you get your bearings. Time enough for drink or ice cream there but not food. Such fun on a hot day.

Really great time and information. Kids enjoyed the boat ride and beautiful scenery. I would recommend anyone in LA Spezia to do this tour!

This was a great trip! The boat ride was very refreshing and fun! Our driver was great and nice. He shared a lot about our surroundings and was knowledgeable. We were able to swim at a certain point during our boat ride for a bit and it was great! The water was refreshing and the driver picked a good spot. Our boat ride continued and we reached the charming town of Portonevere, where we were dropped off for about an hour to do whatever we liked. My family and I strolled through the street and found a great swimming spot where we enjoyed the rest of our break. Be careful on the rocks! Anyways, the ride back was great too and the workers gave us post cards. Yay!

Good location, easy walk from the cruise terminal. All the staff really nice people. Tour is about 3 hours with time for a swim and a stop off in Portenvere.

There was only two of us and the guide ( Lee!) was superb. Very engaging and informative. Really enjoyed our trip.

A great way to arrive in a beautiful village. Our captain was full of information and was a very friendly and helpful man.

Very informative beautiful views. Guide was Amis was super! Thank you for all the the information and referrals

Depending on the day, get ready for some big waves. The skipper was great and a skilled operator in the big waves.

The organizers were very nice and explained well the different places of the site Very beautiful sunset!

This experience was both relaxing and invigorating. The setting is so beautiful, and being out on the water is such an elemental experience. Simone was a wonderful host and his knowledge of the islands was fascinating. We stopped at a cove on Palmaria and he took our photos - such a perfect way to capture a perfect experience! I haven't seen my husband so carefree in a long time. Simone provided a generous spread of breads when we stopped at Portovenere at sunset - we couldn't eat it all and took it on our Cinque Terre hike the next day. We were staying in Portovenere so he dropped us off there. Before the cruise, we were shopping in La Spezia and he gave us shopping advice via WhatsApp. It was a fabulous experience and I would recommend it to anyone! We shared the boat with two other couples and a bachelorette party - how fun!!!

The service was wonderful, Simone and his father, as were the views and drinks and snacks! Note-bring towels and something long-sleeve because we got chilly…even in July!

Super expérience avec Simone. Nous étions huit personnes à bord dont quatre devant et quatre derrière (nous). Très confortable, belle musique et informations pertinente. Facilité de communication à l’avance avec le prestataire grâce à WhatsApp

Nice activity with nice explanations about the region and the islands. Glad to see people happy doing their jobs.

Nice way to get out on the water at sunset and see some sites for a reasonable price. Lots of fun, food and laughs! Host was great!

We boarded at the port of La Spezia with Sara :-) it was a perfect evening, good music, beautiful landscapes, good food and really interesting explanation from Sara. I recommend this boat trip without any hesitation :-) We met nice people and in love with their part of the country ;-) Thank you again to you 3!

Fabulous excursion. Beautiful sights to see on the water, time for a swim too. The sunset didn't disappoint either. The captain was fun as well. Would do again!

"Best views you can ask for along Cinque Terre Coast. The crew were excellent and really explained all of the sights along the way. Would do this tour again in a heartbeat. Thank you for the great experience."

It was a fantastic boat tour and such a unique experience to see Cinque Terre from the water. Our guides were very knowledgeable and great hosts!

Viator were amazing at their communication & felt very confident every step of the way. Would definitely recommend & book through Viator again.

"Spent a wonderful morning on a boat tour with the Sea Breeze crew, William and Matteo. They did a lovely job of making everyone comfortable and offering insight into the unique characteristics of each town in Cinque Terre. Unfortunately the waters were a little too rough to take a dip, but the day was quite enjoyable. We had focaccia breads and wine on the ride back with music. A great day!"

It was peaceful and we learned a bit about the history of the area. It was a beautiful way to see the towns.

It was a delightful trip, very leisurely. Our boat staff were very knowledgeable about the area and made the trip interesting.

This was a last minute decision but they accommodated us! It was so worth it especially in this August heat. We had a great time and learned a lot. Got to take in the sights and swim.

We had a great time on our boat tour and the scenery was breathtaking! Our guide Matteo and his son were excellent and we learned a lot. The food and drinks were wonderful as well. We would definitely recommend.

Nice a polite guides. Great views and just a great way to see the towns. Swimming was a refreshing. The snacks were wonderful and the wine was fantastic.

We had an amazing time on the boat tour, the crew was fantastic and so nice. Stopping to swim was the best part but I didn’t bring a swimsuit, I highly recommend being prepared as the water is spectacular!!

The absolute best way to see all 5 villages. It was amazing . The best snorkeling, and staff was fantastic! Very friendly. Informative , explained history well ! The appetizers were delicious and drinks had a big selection!

A must-do while visiting Cinque Terre. We were able to enjoy all the nice views from the sea. Being able to take a dip was definitely a plus. Captain and crew were friendly and simply amazing!
