Dario was an amazing host. He was very knowledgeable and his heart was very much with the story of manarola. Our 6 year old daughter was loving it so much so that she tried to hide it when she got sea sick and Dario offered to cut the tour short and offered to charge us less. It was absolutely worth every penny and we couldn't dream of paying him anything less than full price. He was awesome!

We hired Dario to take a group of 4 out on a sunset tour of the Cinque Terre. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area, the geography, and more. It was an education and a great way to see the entire stretch of coastline, with all 5 towns in view. And the sunset of course was magical!

This was the highlight of not just our trip to Cinque Terre but our trip to several cities in Italy. Dario took us out on a two hour boat tour filled with personal history and history of the 5 villages. This tour provided such a unique perspective of the beautiful terrain. We finished with a swim by a waterfall in the refreshing water that was very personal compared to the crowded beaches and swimming points. I can’t recommend Dario’s tour enough. In fact, I plan on recommending to all friends and family who plan on visiting Cinque Terre.

Dario gave us an amazing boat tour! He was amazing: he was super knowledgeable about the history and places of Cinque Terre and its surroundings and he was so nice to talk to!
After visiting the Cinque Terre the first day, we loved the tour so much that we decided to take the boat with dario also the following day!!
He was so nice and when the first day he realized that we didn’t like wine, the following day he made sure to have with him also beers.
He brought us to the most spectacular hidden spots of Cinque Terre.
We 100% suggest this tour!!

Dario was a fantastic host. We took a 3-hour tour of Cinque Terre with stops for swimming along the way and enjoyed every minute. The trip was beautiful and relaxing, and Dario shared interesting information about the region throughout the tour. Would highly recommend!

Let's face it, you visit Cinque Terre for the local culture, the amazing food, the great wine, and the spectacular views. So if you only experience the views from land, you're missing out. This is a great, relaxing way to see some of the best angles of Cinque Terre, and really get a feel for the way the 5 villages cling to the rocky edge of the Ligurian Sea.
Dario is great. He's well-traveled, so knows what interests new visitors. And being born and raised in Manarola, he can take you to the hidden gems long the coast while providing key background, history, and context. His English is perfect.
Dario's boat is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. He provided us with water, and an excellent bottle of local wine. His 2 hour tour (minimum time he offers) was perfect for us, and we're not sure how it could have been more enjoyable.
To top it off, we mentioned wanting to have lunch at Trattoria Dal Billy. Turns out, Dario's father used to own the restaurant. Dario called for us, and got us a great table.
Whatever your plans are for Cinque Terre, make sure they include at least a coupe of hours on the water with Dario.

Had a lovely 2 hour private boat tour of Cinque Terre with Dario. The views by boat are unmatched! It’s a must for any visitor! Dario told us many facts of the area as he’s born & raised in CT. He took great photos of us, and even provided some local wine! We had a lovely time. And to top it off, Dario warned us about some rough weather & was very accommodating to make sure we got to take the tour when the weather would be best.

Dario was a fabulous tour guide who took us around the beautiful coastline of the Cinque Terre. He gave us so much history and drove to beautiful caves and picturesque settings. Our experience ended with a glass of wine to watch the beautiful sunset. I highly recommend Dario and the Rayo Verde Tour.

If you are in Manarola I can only recommend Dario and Rayoverde Tour! My girlfriend and I booked with him smoothly through WhatsApp and even rescheduled ourselves due to whether changes. Dario was on point in the way he treated us, never too much never too less. Beautiful tour, great swims and wine. Best way to explore Cinque Terre!

Dario is an amazing guy who tells us everything about the cinque terre. The private tour gave us the opportunity to swim through caves and enjoy the incredible view. It was the best we could experience during our holiday.
We can recommend this tour to everyone 200% it was simply a dream!! Thank you Dario for this experience!!

Hi Dario,
We will be staying at the Casa Costello from June 29th (evening) and leaving on July 4th. Do you have any availability for a boat tour which would include the 5 villages, snorkelling, swimming and the waterfalls (3 or more hours) on July 1, 2 or 3? We are a family of 5, (children are 23, 21 and 18).
We would also like to go to Porto Venere (and perhaps Palmario on a different day) but would like time to wander around the village etc. so not sure if you can drop us there and pick us up later?
Thank you for any help you can give us.

Hi Dario, I have been referred to you by Simone as we will be staying in his place 12-14 June. We would like to book a boat trip with you. We would like to either go on the 12th in the afternoon (maybe a afternoon/sunset) cruise or if you cannot accommodate us on the 12th then we can also go on the 13th. Please be so kind and let me know when you have availability and what the cost would be.
