What are people saying about La Spezia

La Spezia: Pasta & Tiramisu Class in a Local Home by Cesarine

Jill_S, Jun 2026

Best Excursion in La Spezia!!

My family and I traveled to La Spezia on a Royal Caribbean cruise of the Mediterranean and decided to book a local excursion through Viator. This pasta making class was amazing!! We were given all the info for our host, Donata, and her address the night before. We took a short 15 minute taxi drive to Donata's house which was beautiful both inside and out. We were greeted warmly and immediately started the adventure of cooking: tiramisu, potato gnocchi and a delicious sgabei. Once complete, we sat outside on Donata's terrace enjoying our delicious creations. Included in the meal was Prosecco and coffee. We were offered Limoncello but we politely declined as all of us were stuffed full of delicious Italian food. We were able to tour Donata's property which includes amazing fruit trees, lots of home grown vegetables and herbs, and a chicken coop. The view of the ocean from the terrace was breath-taking. As our class was wrapping up, Donata's husband Claudio offered us a ride back to the port. Overall, this was the best excursion and experience. Donata was absolutely amazing as a host, teacher and chef. I would highly recommend this excursion and hope you experience Donata's warm hospitality and her delicious Italian recipes.

Florence/Pisa

Our guide Sharif was excellent , informative and very cordial. He had great local knowledge for this trip. Just be aware there is alot of walking, we did over 6 miles..as well as bus seat time, roughly 4.5 to 5 hours in the bus. Bus was comfortable but, no bathroom and whomever the bus company was arrange for a bus the didn't have enough seats ..therefore, our guide Sharif , was sitting on the floor all the time.. All in all a great trip to wonderful city..Unfortunately, not enough time in each city to truly explore..a reason to return

Pisa and Florence Shore Excursion from La Spezia

Allen_F, Jun 2026

Book it!

Francesco was incredible! He had bottled waters available for our rides to Florence and Pisa. He also accommodated our wish list to make sure everything was checked off! He took us to a legit leather factory (Michelangelo) where the staff was amazing, accommodating, and not pushy at all. He worked with our schedule, gave us historical information about Florence, and made sure we were comfortable at all times. He nailed the estimated times we would want to spend at each location and said if we wanted to spend longer, just let him know! He made sure we were back at our ship in time and was so professional! Wish we had booked him for the second day in Florence! I can’t say enough incredible things about this trip.

La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours

Justin_W, Jun 2026

Ligurian Sea tour

This was a good boat tour the Captain of the boat Alberto and his companion Daniela are very friendly kind people who cater to their guest with outstanding service making sure everyone is taken care of. They served fruits and cookies to start and a nice spread of assorted meats and cheese and veggies for lunch. The offered wine beer lemonchino water and soda through out the boat ride. Alberto made sure to make the ride as smooth as possible slowing down to cut bigger waves. We were lucky with a smooth ride to our destinations with a couple stops along the way for their guest to get back on their feet. If you suffer from motion sickness I suggest taking some medication before hand the cruise back to the meeting destination later in the day was a little more choppy but Alberto did his best to keep his boat moving along smoothly. Great tour along the coastline definitely recommend.

8 Hours Cinque Terre with Lunch on Boat in Spezia

Melissa_O, May 2026

Must do tour in Cinque Terre

This was the perfect day! What a way to see the 5 cities, have an authentic Italian lunch, swim in the Mediterranean, shop in one of the lovely towns Monterosso, have a karaoke party (participation is not required:). AND got to drive the boat. The price is amazing for what you receive. Much better than being on a big boat with hundreds of people on them. We did this off a cruise ship and booked it ourselves. Giaky and Rosella are fantastic hosts.

Classic Cinque Terre

Veronica was an excellent...

Veronica was an excellent guide. Very caring and detail oriented. She was meticulous about the train and ferry transfers, which everyone appreciated. She was knowledgeable and kind and the tour, (despite crowds) was extremely well handled. A convenient way to see three of the five villages of the Cinque Terre.

Highly recommend this tour to start your Cinque Terra visit

This was a great way to start our trip and learn how to ride their train system, visit the villages, find the best shops, café, views and restrooms. Our guide Veronica was wonderful, so informative, passionate, knowledgeable, helpful and made it a great experience. After our tour, we felt so comfortable exploring all the 5 villages of Cinque Terra and even Levanto.

Boat Tour of the 3 Islands & Portovenere

Clodagh_C, Aug 2025

Fun on the water - great way to cool off on a hot day

This was a memorable trip on a RIB with our friendly and knowledgeable guide Nick. As well as a tour around the islands and outside caves, there was time for a swim off the boat for 10 minutes. Despite what other reviews have said, it was so easy to find the meet up on the promenade. Portovenere was great though could have done with more time as an hour was too short by the time you get your bearings. Time enough for drink or ice cream there but not food. Such fun on a hot day.

Perfect Day and Perfect Way to see Cinque Terre

What a perfect way to spend the day in the La Spezia area, or a great reason to visit. Emanuel was an excellent Captain and made us feel like the boat was ours and he was at our service. The view of Cinque Terre from the water is the best possible vantage point you can get.
