Superlative, great team.

Absolutely worth repeating; I have traveled a lot, but tours like this are very rare with detailed explanations 🖤

Very disappointing between the proposal and the reality

The departure at 6:30 was too late, at 8pm it was dark, we saw nothing from the coast except a few lights. Even the captain of the boat didn't see anything wrong with the cruising speed. Has 11 adults on 1 tiny boat. We were tight and some stayed up all along. No debriefing on safety and lifejackets. I had asked for a French guide, put in by Italian and English, we did not have explanations in French. Blue Breeze: greets us on the harbor, takes us to the boat and we never see him again. Frankly to flee, 95-99€ per person for this!

Operator response

Alors, vous m'avez donné une étoile parce qu'il faisait nuit très vite, et dire que vous aviez réservé cette excursion deux jours à l'avance, mais vous n'aviez probablement pas réalisé qu'il faisait nuit tôt maintenant. Le bateau que vous avez qualifié de minuscule ne mesure que 10 mètres, peut-être l'un des plus grands du port. Parlons équipement de sécurité. Pensez-vous vraiment qu'il soit nécessaire de mentionner 50 mètres de la côte ? Vous avez terminé en disant : Je le déconseille à tout le monde, mais je vous déconseille de continuer à voyager. Bonne soirée.

You can do better

Mine is meant to be a suggestion for this couple who organize the tour. We went on this tour enticed by the nice tour and of course by the gastronomic proposal, we were the only Italians on the Gozzo and maybe we only noticed certain nuances ... Marco driving the goiter took care before leaving to give us a brief description of what we would see Fine but it would have been nice that during the tour he focused on the beauties both natural and artistic Instead it puts 90s disco music to the ball that you can stay there for a while but in some stretches I would have changed music or turned off to contemplate nature the and sound of the sea ... Discreet aperitif as a “tourist” do not expect anything more or less , even there in my opinion you can adjust the shot to give a unique and unforgettable experience (I have first-hand experience on both reception and cooking on the boat) It seems that there is little passion for the place and the people who go to do this experience / trip Too bad!

Grazie per la sua visione dell' esperienza, che fortunatamente non corrisponde a cio che dicono la maggior parte dei nostri clienti, e le assicuro che portiamo gente tutti i giorni, mettiamo piu passione di quanto lei si possa immaginare, nel nostro lavoro.

Customer service and beautiful trip!

The captain and crew were incredibly accommodating with the experience. My daughter and I have celiac and they were able to modify the menu for us. Most importantly was the responsiveness and customer service before we even boarded. The cruise was memorable and breathtaking!

Amazing tour with Massimo

Amazing boat tour! Beautiful views and amazing history. Massimo told us all about the towns and islands we were passing. Watched the sunset over the water which was stunning then had a delicious home made meal. Left full, a little drunk and very happy!! I would highly recommend booking this trip.

Unmissable sunset tour with aperitif in Portovenere

I was lucky enough to join the sunset boat tour in Portovenere and I had a lot of fun! The staff was really nice, helpful and professional, made us feel immediately at ease. The sunset from the Byron Cave was something incredible, an experience not to be missed. The aperitif on board was great, and the music made everything even more special. A magical moment, which was made even more beautiful by the night bath, a unique experience! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience an unforgettable evening.
