Experience the Cinque Terre in exclusive style on a private full-day tour from La Spezia. Travel comfortably with your own dedicated guide and discover the five iconic villages — Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vernazza, Corniglia, and Monterosso — through breathtaking views, authentic local flavors and curated, stress-free logistics.
Meet your personal guide at the La Spezia cruise terminal or train station and begin your journey with a scenic 30-minute drive up to the hills surrounding Riomaggiore. Enjoy several panoramic stops along the way to capture postcard-perfect views of the coastline and the colorful cliffside villages below.
Your first stop is Manarola, one of the oldest and most enchanting villages of the Cinque Terre. Walk through its maze of narrow alleys and steep stairways, explore the marina and admire the vibrant pastel houses clinging dramatically to the rocks above the sea.
Continue your adventure with a ferry ride along the coast to Vernazza, often considered the crown jewel of the Cinque Terre. Climb to the terrace of the historic Doria Castle for a breathtaking 360-degree view over the harbor, the vineyards and the shimmering Ligurian Sea. Then, let your guide recommend the perfect spot for a delicious traditional lunch at a local restaurant — an opportunity to taste regional specialties such as fresh seafood, pesto and local white wine.
After lunch, travel by train to Monterosso al Mare, the largest of the five villages and the only one with spacious sandy beaches. Wander through its charming historic center, dotted with medieval churches, artisan boutiques and seaside promenades.
Relax on the return journey to La Spezia by train and private vehicle, while reflecting on an unforgettable day through one of Italy’s most extraordinary coastal landscapes — all with the comfort of a private, tailor-made experience designed just for you.
Perfect for couples, families, small groups and travelers seeking an intimate and personalized way to discover the beauty of the Cinque Terre.
