We arranged everything via email prior to leaving the states and exactly everything went as planned. Stefano was there, with his boat and some snacks for us (prosecco, amazing cheese, honey and delicious cherries) and ready to go. We noted the time of sunset that night and went two and a half hours before so we could see the sunset.... More

My wife and I were finishing up our trip to Monterosso, and we decided to book The Matilde for two hours. What a fantastic way to end our time in this great town. Stefano was great, and took us on an incredible tour of the five towns. He made two stops for swimming, provided a bottle wine, and gave us... More

Visited Liguria aug-sept 2011. A boat trip with Stefano had to be one of the best experiences we had to have during our stay in Liguria. But the trip failed! We booked a trip weeks beforehand with Stefano by e-mail. When we arrived to Monterosso - nobody was there without any notice! Stefano didn't even called or write a message... More

My husband and I were traveling in Europe for 1 ½ months, and just returned home. We were talking last night about the highpoints of our adventures in the south of France, Barcelona and the Costa Brava region of Spain, and parts of Italy. We had many, many wonderful experiences during our time there, but spending part of a day... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our day on board Mathilde with Stefano. We took the boat for five hours and travelled from Monterosso to Portovenere and back, stopping along the way to cool off with a swim. We were lucky enough to get perfect weather - sunny, hot and calm. Stefano is a wonderful host and very knowledgeable about the "five lands"... More

Stefano - what a gentleman! It is so refreshing to meet a man so passionate about his boat and his country. Our cruise ship was calling at La Spezia so I booked Stefano and his boat Matilde to take us out for two hours, to see the Cinque Terre from the sea. The weather wasn't great but the tour was...

one of the best way to see LE CINQUE TERRE is to take a tour by boat and if you go with Stefano is really a gift to yourself and whover you go with. The boat is very nice, Stefano is really professional but still friendly- we agree with all the previous review. pls note that the other best way... More

A highlight of our tour to Cinque Terre! Stefano was wonderful! He gave us a history of the area, provided us with wine and focaccio, took us to a lovely secluded inlet to swim, and provided us with an incredibly relaxing water view of the lovely Cinque Terre villages. Highly recommended!!! More

very knowlegable and passionate tour guide- his love for the area really comes through. Stefano will guage your interests and give you historical, environemental or cultural information in the appropriate quantities as you visit this beautiful region. He is very accomodating and discreet allowing his guests to share an experience with him, as well as make one of their own.... More
