La Spezia Tours

"I got to see so much of Cinque Terre because I had a guide. Because it was just me, we were able to climb the mountains and get great views. My guide was a great photographer and when it came time to shop, he helped me translate. It was one of the best experiences I have had in Italy. I would do it again in a heartbeat!"

"I couldn't recommend this tour more! My trip really came about as a last minute decision and I only had one day to visit Cinque Terre, therefore, I decided to do the tour by sea and it was the best decision ever. I had seen photos of Cinque Terre, and I knew it was going to be great, but my experience was simply beyond my greatest expectations. The scenery by itself was magical and getting the opportunity to swim and feel the delicious waters was another great perk. The captain was very nice but who really made my experience so nice and welcoming was the beautiful hostess Sofia. I'm so grateful to Sofia because even though I travelled solo, she made me feel like I was in company of a friend, and her taste in music is also wonderful. Thank you so much Sofia, Luca, and the whole team behind the tour!"

"Boris our guide was expectacular. Very accomodating and flexible to changes and requests. I will suggest you get him as he knows the hidden spots of the area well. AAA+"

"Marco was fantastic and full of informatiion. This toy r was a ver y efficient way to see everything we wanted to. 3 languages were a vailable on our tour."

"We got the most unique and beautiful views of all of Cinque Terre from above. Our guide Matteo was excellent. He was funny, knowledgeable and made everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend this to anyone!"

"Loved it. Both Chef and staff were friendly, food was of course good. A very good experience for me, the only student!"

"If you want to see the main highlights of all the 5 Villages of the Cinque Terre in one day with a local guide who knows the terrain well, positively opt for this tour. |During our time at La Spezia, we experienced the Cinque Terre by sea, road and train and found out that each mode of travel has its own charm and gives you a different perspective of the region.|There is a special train that runs from La Spezia to the Cinque Terre which gives visitors the opportunity to access the towns very conveniently. Basically the train traverses 4 of the Cinque Terre more or less in the middle so access to all directions of the towns becomes relatively easier. It's only the town of Corniglia which is a little tricky because it's located on top of a cliff, so either you have to walk up hundreds of steps from the Railway Station to it if you can manage, it's a nice experience and the vistas you see en route are great or there's a small round trip shuttle bus to Corniglia from the Station. |Our Tour was brilliantly conducted by experienced local guide Laura. She organised the day for us in a way where we could do the most within the timeframe that we had. We learnt of the history of the Cinque Terre and of each individual town, we were shown the best that each town had to offer in terms of sights, views, architecture, monuments, unusual aspects, unique produce, souvenirs, etc. We had time to take a lot of photographs, sample local food, pick up souvenirs, etc. Walking was at our own pace and Laura very enthusiastically answered all our questions.|Lunch was at a popular restaurant which Laura recommended in Vernazza, one of the Cinque Terre's most photographed towns. When eating in the Cinque Terre I recommed trying the local anchovies. mussels and wine sourced from the multitude of Cinque Terre's vineyards. With Laura helping us order, every dish was delicious!|Travelling by train, though it's very busy during tourist season, offers scenic views and convenience as the trains run with much frequency. |I recommend leaving as early as possible for this Tour as there's much to do and also it's a way to avoid crowds that come in much later. This Tour offers a lot and the guides at Faberest as so knowledgable, that they try to ensure that you travel back to La Spezia satisfied that you've managed to experience the best of the Cinque Terre in a day.|Felicia Variava Albert, Managing Director, Blaze Tours and Travels Pvt.
