Description:
This shore excursion from the port of La Spezia to Cinque Terre is the perfect tour that will allow you to explore the most spectacular towns of Cinque Terre: Vernazza, Monterosso, Riomaggiore and Manarola.
With this private tour to the Cinque Terre you will meet your licensed private guide at the cruise terminal at port of La Spezia (or at the train station) and together you will go from the port to the train station (walking or by taxi). With a short train ride of about 10 minutes you will reach Riomaggiore, the first town. Your guide will lead you through this picturesque coast-side village with post-card perfect panoramas at every bend. Your tour will wind you through the narrow pebbled streets, bringing you to the rocky cove where colorful buildings keep watch over the crowd of fishing boats.
From Riomaggiore you and your guide will travel via public boat (or train in case of bad weather and during autumn-winter time) to Manarola. Manarola is perched atop jagged ocean cliffs and surrounded by lush-green vineyards and is the second of Cinque Terre’s five towns. Savor the fresh coastal air, purchase a typical white linen outfit or taste the local wine Sciacchetrà, as you tour this colorful town with your guide.
From Manarola, you will continue by local train or public boat to Vernazza (if sea conditions permit, the alternative will be arrival via train). Enjoy the view of pastel villages, the landlocked town of Corniglia and the dramatic coastline as you sail towards Cinque Terre’s most famed town. Once reaching the small port at Vernazza, your tour will continue through this enchanted village as you visit the natural harbor with bobbing buoyed boats, the small-pebbled beach and the bayside piazza. Admire the old fortress that once protected the town for centuries from raiding pirates and step inside the domed church Santa Margherita d’Antiochia. Here you will have time to stop for lunch and taste the flavors of the regions (your guide will be happy to give you suggestions for lunch options).
From Vernazza, you will take the train for a short ride to Monterosso, the last town during your visit. Your tour will continue as you pass Monterosso’s large beach, lined with colorful umbrellas and spiral up through the village.
After your visit to Monterosso, the tour will conclude as you will take the train back to La Spezia train station and from there to the port (walking or by taxi) on time to board your ship (please contact us if you wish to arrange a different pick-up or drop-off point). Please note that from the cruise terminal you can either walk to the train station (15-20 minutes) of take a taxi (price of taxi not included, about 15 Euro for each ride (15 Euro total per car, not per person).
CINQUE TERRE PRIVATE BOAT TOUR- If you wish you can also add a private boat tour. You can choose between a short boat tour of one hour or a longer two hours tour. During the boat tour you will enjoy great views of the Ligurian coast and Cinque Terre towns from the sea. It will also be possible to stop for swimming in the beautiful waters of the Marine Park. If you wish, we can also arrange private boat tours of longer duration.
Please note that the boat tour is subject to availability and weather conditions. In case the weather does not guarantee safety of navigation you will have a full refund. The boat is for maximum 10 people (for bigger parties please contact us).

This is a private tour so you will not be part of a group, the guide will be entirely dedicated to you. The itinerary is flexible and you can decide how you prefer to spend your time.
