Designed for guests with limited mobility or who use a mobility aid, our accessible Cinque Terre shore excursion from La Spezia is the perfect way to visit this famous stretch of the Ligurian coastline if you’re not as spry as you once were. The villages on our itinerary—Portovenere, Vernazza, and Corniglia—are not only charming but also easy to get around in because the ground is fairly level and stairs are limited or nonexistent. We can also get quite close to them by vehicle, which is an important aspect of an accessible tour of the Cinque Terre, where vehicles other than those of residents are not permitted to enter the villages. Your friendly, professional, English-speaking driver is an expert at navigating the Cinque Terre by car, taking the panoramic road to travel between the villages. You will have the option to take the ferry if you prefer. The view of the villages and dramatic, green cliffs from the sea is something to behold!

Boat tour in Cinque Terre from La Spezia with lunch on board

Richard_A, Sep 2026

Outstanding Eight Hour Boat Excusion!

This was an excellent eight hour excursion. The weather was fantastic! Our boat captain, Gregorio, was outstanding! He also put out a great lunch that we all ate while out at anchor! The views along the coast of Cinque Terre were priceless! We got to swim several times during the excursion. Gregorio put the boat out at anchor and we had lengthy swimming opportunities. If you can’t swim, he provided swimming noodles. So bring your swimming clothes. The key to this excursion truly is weather! We had fantastic sea conditions and the temperature was around 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

La Spezia Food Tour

Wonderful chance to taste and learn about the local cuisine. Five different stops at spots locals frequent for their meals. The food was great and the history behind it was even better. Our local guide Romina did a great job explaining the food and the Italian history behind each dish.

Boat Tours 5 Terre

Alex_S, Sep 2026

Highly recommend this tour

A spectacular exclusive small group tour that included swimming, snorkeling to see beautiful little fish, a light snack and glass of Prosecco in a well appointed boat only 12 months old. The driver and the tour guide (Piatro) were the epitome of tall dark and handsome Italian men. A most memorable day and highly recommend over being squashed in like sardines on the large ferries.

From La Spezia : boat trip in Cinque Terre, with free time ashore

Pilar_H, Sep 2026

Cinque Terra

An Exceptional Experience – Highly Recommend! We had two wonderful experiences with Hop Hop Boat Tour, and both exceeded our expectations. On our first day, strong winds and high waves made it unsafe to travel to Cinque Terre. Our captain, Leonardo, made the right decision to put safety first and adjusted our itinerary. Instead, he took us along the beautiful coastline to charming neighboring towns, giving us plenty of time to explore and enjoy each stop. Leonardo was knowledgeable, personable, and fun, turning what could have been a disappointing day into a fantastic experience. The following day, we called to check the weather and sea conditions before booking again. Thankfully, the conditions were perfect, and we finally made it to Cinque Terre. It was absolutely spectacular! Seeing all five villages from the water was breathtaking, and we had a wonderful stop in Monterosso for lunch. The scenery is truly picture-perfect, and the entire day could not have been better. Our captain, Matei, was equally wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the trip. What impressed us most was the professionalism of both captains and the way Hop Hop Boat Tour handled the changing weather conditions. We felt safe, well taken care of, and never rushed.

Cinque Terre Boat Tours Experience with Aperitivo and Swim

Edward_G, Aug 2026

The perfect low stress getaway

We had a fantastic time, cruising with Mateo and Frederica. The communication was excellent, which really helped calm our nerves. The tour was great. We enjoyed the beverages, the nice snack they provided and a good commentary about the area. Taking two swims in the sea on a really hot day was the icing on the cake. I would highly highly highly recommend this excursion.

Kristin_G, Aug 2026

Fabulous

This excursion was fabulous! Beautiful views and peaceful day. Lots of time cruising in the boat, sightseeing and swimming! Food, wine and beer were plentiful. Jerry was very gracious pointed out the towns and answered my questions. Note: this is a sightseeing, relaxing excursion, this is not an informational tour. Also, leave plenty of time from cruise port as it is a 15 min walk to pick up spot on other side of marina.

Pisa and Florence Shore Excursion from La Spezia

Great choice for a private tour!

We booked this private excursion during one of our cruise stops in La Spezia. It is easily customizable in a way that gives you time to explore, include a lunch and enjoy the famous spots of Pisa and Florence. Our guide, Marta, was our friend by the end of the trip. Informative along the way, gave great suggestions and tips to avoid “tourist traps”, as she called them. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and made it back to the ship with plenty time.

Classic Cinque Terre

Jack_L, Jun 2026

Highly Recommended. Veronica very knowledgeable with Cinque Terre

Very satisfied with our Cinque Terre tour experience. Our guide, Veronica, knows Cinque Terre very well. She is fully capable to agreeably tailor-make (adjust) the tour if weather or other circumstances arise. She assisted with train ticket purchase. Veronica gave narrative of each town and allowed time for self strolling / shopping. The tour pace was sufficient. She led the tour to areas (views) we would not have found touring on our own. Veronica gave very good restaurant and shop recommendations.

Florence/Pisa

Our guide Sharif was excellent , informative and very cordial. He had great local knowledge for this trip.

We had the pleasure of...

We had the pleasure of having Raphale spend the day with our family for a second time, this time showing us the beautiful coastal Cinque Terre towns. What an absolutely beautiful place made even more special by Raphale telling us about the history and giving us the highlights. After two trips in one week with Raphale, he was like part of our family. I highly recommend using him for any activities to see the beautiful country of Italy and learning about the history and culture. Thank you Raphale!!!
