What are people saying about La 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.

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.

Had a fantastic tour with Marta. She picked us up promptly from the cruise terminal and had waters waiting for us in a comfortable van. She gave the perfect amount of context while we were driving and gave us enough time to explore on our own, a great mix of letting us choose where we would like to go and suggestions of places to see. All around a great tour!

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.

Lyn_S, Mar 2026

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!

Deluxe Florence and Pisa Tour from La Spezia Cruise Port

Wendy_P, Nov 2025

Great way to see Florence and Pisa

We packed a lot into the time we had in Florence and Pisa. Daniela our tour guide was very knowledgeable but very soft spoken. I would suggest maybe headsets for the guests. If you don’t enjoy to walk this is not the tour for you. Fortunately we all knew this before the tour the others on the tour were not prepared for this. Overall an excellent experience

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.

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!

Cinque Terre Private Boat Tour

David_F, Sep 2025

The only way to see the Cinque Terre!

What an incredible experience! My wife and I decided we were too old and out of shape for the Cinque Terre hike. We decided to take a boat tour to see the Five Lands from the sea and couldn't be happier. Dimitri, our guide, was fabulous. He spent time speaking about the five lands. We had our own private tour, we were offered food and drink and a chance to snorkel, Honestly, I think this is the only way to see all five villages (lands). I can't recommend it enough!

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.
