A 5-day tour along the beautiful Ligurian coast, based in La Spezia, is the perfect way to explore breathtaking landscapes and picturesque villages. This Cinque Terre itinerary in Italy begins with a visit to Rapallo and the charming Montallegro Sanctuary, nestled in the tranquil hills and accessible by cable car. The trip continues with carefully selected tours of the Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its colorful villages perched on cliffs overlooking the sea. These small-group tours offer a more intimate and authentic experience, including a hands-on cooking class in which guests learn how to make traditional Genoese pesto. Rounding out the experience is a wine tasting among the region’s characteristic terraced vineyards. The itinerary also includes a visit to Recco, famous for its focaccia, where guests can not only sample the famous specialty but also enjoy a typical Ligurian lunch.
Option to add an optional excursion to Portofino, one of the Riviera’s most glamorous destinations.
