Private excursion from La Spezia to Cinqueterre

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

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.

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

Troy_S, Jul 2026

Great day on the water

Originally scheduled a 12 pm trip. The company called two weeks ahead of trip to notify us of a mandatory change to 2 pm due to military operations in the bay. The dock is 5 minutes from the cruise terminal (may change after port repairs) and afforded us a tour of La Spezia. We departed with Niko as captain. He was cordial and provided commentary on each of the villages along the route. We stopped for a swim before staying an hour in the last village. Sea was calm and the trip was great. Good communication ahead of time and from Niko during the trip. We had 3 kids and another separate group with us.

Renee_S, Jul 2026

Amazing experience!

This is the excursion you brag about to your friends. The one where you’re in the beautiful home of a local Italian family, learning their grandparents recipes, meeting their pets, sample fruit from their trees. The one where you ask yourself “why don’t we make gnocchi as a family every Sunday?” and reconnect with a calm way of life. Elisa was wonderful. Her home is exactly what you’d imagine. Her family was warm and welcoming. The conversation was diverse and rich, and the language barrier made it all the more fun and interesting. And of course, the food was incredible. If you are cruising, I recommend arranging transportation at the port. The taxi situation is a bit hectic.

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.

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!!!

This was a really great...

This was a really great day! We really enjoyed the history and beauty of the tour. Veronica did a really nice job explaining everything. Only negative for some people was that the ferry ride was quite difficult for many due to the rough sea. For those of us that were ok with the waves, we were not able to see the beauty of the view from the ferry since the boat was rocking so much.

Great Tour of Cinque Terre in April

Lorenzo and William were great! We were a family of 8 and had plenty of room. They were knowledgeable and gave us the history of the area. Having a bathroom was key with our group of 8 with 2 kids. Our tour was on 4/19 so it was to chilly to jump in but the weather was great! They told us about Porto Venere so we went there the next day.
