Excursions from the port of La Spezia
If you’re coming by cruise ship to the port of La Spezia or staying for a few days in the area we can help you with a variety of excursions with private vehicle and driver.
The most popular destination from La Spezia is the Cinque Terre. The charm of these former fishing villages and the stunning natural beauty of the Ligurian coast have turned the Cinque Terre into one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy.
▶︎ MOBILITY NOTE: the Cinque Terre presents some challenges to those with limited mobility, so we created an Easy Cinque Terre itinerary that will enable you to serenely enjoy the area in 6-7 hours.
Sadly, with popularity comes the unpleasantness of crowds, and in summer the Cinque Terre can be frustratingly packed with tourists. For small children and the elderly it can be a rather suffocating environment. Navigating with a stroller is just about impossible. If you want to enjoy the beauty of the Cinque Terre area without the outrageous crowds check out our family-friendly tour, Cool Castles & Awesome Art. Alternatively, Lucca & Pisa is a good choice for a kid-friendly day trip.
While La Spezia is frequently presented as the port for Florence quite frankly it is not so convenient, unless you don’t mind a journey of almost 2 hours each way. The travel times for our excursion to Florence & Pisa are about half of your touring day (4.5 hrs of driving). Because of all the kilometers and the extremely long day for our drivers, these day trips are also rather pricey. But if you have to go to Florence we understand, and we can make the day more efficient by pre-booking tickets to popular galleries and attractions, such as the Accademia, Uffizi and Leaning Tower of Pisa. We also have a kid-friendly Florence for Kids walking tour with a local guide, pizza and ice cream included!
If our standard itineraries aren’t quite the right fit please contact us. We can modify or create a tour to your specifications.
