A live guide in English or Italian is on board; safety equipment, music, and a sunbathing solarium are included.Is it for me?Book this tour if you have a free afternoon or evening and want to sit still on the water instead of rushing between landmarks—the 90 minutes is short enough to squeeze into a packed day, but long enough that you're not watching the clock. Small groups work best here; the boat holds space for friends to stay together without feeling crowded, and the quiet anchorage near Portofino is built for conversation and the moment itself, not for narration.Free cancellationTravelers' pickKids −19%from€ 75View ›
