Three Islands Tour - Beautiful tour of the three Islands. We were very lucky to find this Skipper, Mattia, who explained us every detail to perfection and was also very helpful on the return time. We also managed to make a long stop in Portovenere.
Highly recommend this tour

Our Favorite Area! - We enjoyed a pleasant boat ride past the locations listed. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The four hour stop at Porto Venere was wonderful! This was a beautiful town with historic sights and a small beach. This was our favorite stop on our Italian journey. I was traveling with family. I do not have teens but there wasn’t a better option to choose.

A nice excursion - We had actually booked the tour 10 o'clock, then got the tour 10:15 assigned...the trip with the speedboat was then really mega, the most important was explained, you could take great photos (you just had to be careful that the phone does not fall into the water)... arrived in Portovenere, we had 3.5h time...due to the heat we were almost just swimming, so it would not have been bad if the stay had been shorter...to go back to the port super quickly...all in all but a nice excursion

Nice tour:) - We took a tour with Guide in French. It is in English that the tour was made 🥺
Good thing I was able to translate it to my sister.
Otherwise Lorenzo was top, good explanations and gives good advice for eating or swimming in Porto venere.
Just disappointed that the French Reservation was not respected

A great Portovenere adventure! - 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.

Very expensive , is only a trip directly to PortoVenere - 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...
