Do you want a unique location for a day of relaxation and the beauty of the landscapes? When we talk about the Cinque Terre and an excursion outside the usual itineraries we think of a car rental with driver and the company of whoever you prefer. Here's how to spend a few hours away from the world and the daily grind. The Cinque Terre are an all-Italian natural beauty, nestled between Punta di Cavo Montenero and Punta Mesco, an area rich in bays and peninsulas. A fairytale atmosphere and ancient terraces are the typical characteristics of these areas. The Cinque Terre, as the name of this wonderful land also suggests - comes from the five villages that delimit the beauty of the place: Monterosso, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore and, again, Vernazza. With Cinque Terre Light, the destination will be limited to the elegant setting of Riomaggiore and Manarola, without forgetting the fascinating Portovenere. Private minivan with air conditioning

What are people saying about La Spezia

Michael_S, Apr 2026

Highly recommend! Great experience.

The best tour ever! Tommaso was knowledgeable and fun. Lucca was the type of town we wanted to see while in Italy and it didn’t disappoint. The wine tasting and light lunch was top notch, we actually sat in the vineyard. Could not have asked for a better day.

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

Tracie_C, Apr 2026

Best boat tour to Cinque Terre—hands down

Best day of our entire cruise—hands down. Our boat tour along Cinque Terre with Captain Giacomo and Rossella was absolutely incredible. It was a truly small group, which made it so comfortable, and they went out of their way to make every guest feel welcome and taken care of. Communication before and during the trip was excellent—it all felt effortless and relaxed. We departed from La Spezia and cruised along the coast, stopping in Portovenere and Monesteroli before heading into the five towns—Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso al Mare. Seeing them from the water was just unreal. We stopped near Guvano Beach for a swim, spent a couple of hours in Monterosso enjoying gelato, and had a delicious lunch on the boat prepared by our hosts. Along the way, we saw the stunning black and gold marble cliffs and even got up close to historic military sites and a castle. On the way back, we just relaxed and soaked in the views—it doesn’t get better than that. Truly unforgettable. You must do this!!! 🇮🇹🌊⛵✨

Claire_D, Apr 2026

Great day in Pisa

This excursion is an excellent way to see the highlights of Pisa while docked in La Spezia. Alessandro, Lorenzo, and Marco did a wonderful job of showing us both the area around the tower and key points in the city at a comfortable pace. Time to explore on our own was also included. We are very happy that we took this tour.

Great experience!

My family and I spent a week in various parts of Italy, and Daniela’s cooking class was definitely one of our favorite activities. She has a great personality; we learned a lot; and she worked very hard serving us a sit-down meal following our cooking. We loved the privilege of being in her home, and it was a joy to to spend an evening with her!

Incredible experience.

We had a fabulous experience on our boat tour. The young men were awesome hosts! Their sincerity proved that they loved their country and they were very proud to share their knowledge as we toured the incredible coastline of The Cinque Terre villages. Italy truly is a country easy to love and we look forward to returning some day. Ciao!

A La Spezia Must Do!!!

My family and were here for a cruise and had an incredible day with Marco and Laura. The team was highly accommodating (ensuring we would make it back to our ship on time), extremely knowledgeable and unbelievably kind. The lunch we had was delicious and spending the day on the water with great company was nothing short of incredible. In addition to our lunch, we had morning snacks, mid-afternoon bites and even a dessert! Not to mention the Italian wine was flowing. What a great day—thank you to the team and especially Marco and Laura!

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.

Shared Boat Tour in the Gulf of Poets in La Spezia

Daniela_C, Aug 2025

Fabulous family day trip!

Andres was such a wonderful tour guide! He brought our two families ( 4 adults + 4 kids ages 9-13) on an exceptional tour of the Gulf of Poets. Our kids had a fantastic time swimming near caves and diving off the back of his boat. And his familiarity with the area made the entire trip fill so much more genuine and special than a standard tour.

Classic Cinque Terre

Sara, Jul 2025

Veronica was a wonderful...

Veronica was a wonderful guide. She met us at the train station in La Spezia, and walked us through how to purchase our train tickets for the day. We stopped in 3 different towns, with the option to visit a 4th or 5th on our own at the end of the tour. She provided us with free time in each town, and walked us through purchasing our ferry tickets, too. Without Veronica, we would have probably been able to find our way into each town, but would not have learned any of the history and would have missed out on a lot. We appreciated having her as our guide. The small group option (there were 3 of us, and another family of 3), meant it was easy to follow and hear her without feeling lost or like you were just following a big group from place to place. I would definitely use her services again in the future.

Pisa and Lucca Private Tour from La Spezia

Stacey_A, Jun 2025

Highly Recommended Tour

Our guide, Sara, was amazing! She had a fun personality and had so much information. She picked us up at the port and then we went to Pisa where she told us the best spot to get pictures of the tower. From here we went Lucca where she showed us around and left us to shop. After meeting back up we went to a winery she recommended- which turned out to be the highlight of our entire trip! We had the beautiful place to ourselves, a private tour, and the absolute most amazing food! It was essentially a perfect day and we are so happy we took this tour. We saw beautiful places and had so much fun while doing it!
