Wondeful boat trip on the ligurian coast. - We went for a private tour of some of the most beautiful villages on the ligurian coast. Rocco provided the intinerary but from the start he was very flexible and accomodating with what we wanted to do and gave us the chance to choose where we wanted to stop and how much time to spend there. I really appreciated that he wanted to have the best experience while on his boat and it was a great one indeed where we explored, had fun and truly enjoyed what that area had to offer. Rocco also helped us with recommendations for activities and restaurants that we appreciated them.

Perfect way to experience... - Perfect way to experience San Fruttuoso, Camogli and Portofino! Arriving by boat with those views and then experiencing on land was perfection. Rocco was amazing - very personable, friendly, helpful in providing a great description of each place and allowing us flexibility with timing for experiencing each area to our liking. The stops were great, bonus seeing the Christ of the Abyss statue too! Overall a fabulous experience and highly recommend!

Best way to see Portofino and surrounds. - Brilliant day out on the water with plenty of stops to swim and dine and explore. Rocco was fantastic, super helpful and relaxed. We could come and go as we pleased, it wasn’t rushed and we could take our time where we chose.

Adventures in Genoa - The day of the boat Tour, we met Rocco at the identified pick up location. The boat was equipped with snorkeling equipment, life jackets that we would need for our day. Our first stop was just before Portofino. There Rocco guided us on where to find the statues under the water. He provided a rich history of the bunkers located on the island. After our first swim, Rocco drove us to Portofino and guided us on where to shop and sites to see. After our visit , he provided us with an excellent seafood restaurant recommendation. After lunch , he took a few of us tubing in the sea. Rocco was polite, charismatic and great guide. He made our visit to Genoa enjoyable. I highly recommend him and the tour.

5 star experience - I wish I could do this everyday! Rocco is so great to work with. We were picked up and dropped off in Portofino because we were a part of a cruise. He accommodated easily and took us to some amazing spots in San Fruttoso, Camogli, and San Margarita. I would definitely book again.

Rocco’s communication... - Rocco’s communication before and the day of our trip was great. He made it easy for us to find him coming from the cruise terminal.

Highly recommend. Was a beautiful was to experience our day at port in Genoa.
