Private Cinque Terre tour from La Spezia: Sedan or van

Travel through all five villages at your own pace in a private Mercedes.

A private Cinque Terre tour from La Spezia lets you pick which of the five villages to visit (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazzo and Monterosso), and how long to spend in each one, traveling by private sedan (up to 2 people) or van (up to 5 people) with a driver. Hotel or cruise port pickup is included, and you choose between a 5-hour or 8-hour itinerary. The vehicle is a Mercedes with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and cold water.

The experience

A Mercedes sedan or van picks you up at your hotel or cruise disembarkation point in La Spezia with a maximum 20-minute wait. From there, the driver takes you through the villages you want to see, stopping as long as you like in each one. The route runs through the rugged Italian Riviera coastline, where the five Cinque Terre villages cling to the cliffs above the sea. You design the itinerary (which villages, which order, how much time in each), and the driver navigates while you take in the landscapes and the centuries-old stone buildings.

The sedan fits up to two passengers with luggage. The van holds up to five. Both come with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and cold water. You can book a 5-hour tour if you want to hit the main highlights, or stretch it to 8 hours if you want to linger in the villages, walk down to the water, or explore the narrow streets without rushing. The driver handles all the navigation and parking logistics, so you step out and walk where you want to go.

Drop-off happens back at your hotel or the cruise port. Each traveler can bring one suitcase and one carry-on bag. Oversized luggage like surfboards or bikes may have restrictions, so check with the operator if you're traveling with gear beyond standard luggage.

What's the difference between the 5-hour and 8-hour Cinque Terre tour?
