We had a great time over the last week. The boat was very comfortable and the crew happy and helpful. The food was spectacular – superbly cooked regional favourites by Giuliano and Enrico that were also beautifully presented.
Every one of the 6 crew pitched in when needed. Chefs helped moor the boat and our mechanico Riccardo cooked risotto and his Grandmothers special dessert with zabaglione on the final night.
Capitano Tullio served tables and unloaded bikes. They all seemed to be having fun most of the time.
Our guides Alessandro and Marco were well informed and entertaining. They spoke 4 languages and this all translated to a wonderful experience for their guests. We had 2 other Australians on board, 2 Germans, 8 Canadians, 4 Swiss and 11 Americans, 29 in total.
We said our goodbyes then caught a cab to the Mantova train station for the first leg of our trip to Monterosso.
