Description

Join a full-day private tour of Liguria, known as Italy’s “Riviera”. This is a region that has produced both Cristoforo Colombo and delicious pesto sauce! Your day begins with pickup from your hotel in Florence. An expert driver tour escort will take you through the western part of Tuscany while you enjoy views of the lovely countryside. You’ll learn about the history and culture of the places we pass through, including the medieval city of Lucca, the famous Carrara marble quarries and La Spezia – the popular resort on the sea. You will spend a good part of the day in the national park of Cinque Terre. The park is a popular place for hiking, trekking and scuba-diving. During your time here visit 3 of the 5 fishing villages situated along this beautiful rocky coast. Take a boat or a train ride between the villages and stop for lunch in Vernazza to taste traditional specialties like pasta trofie with pesto, grilled sea bass, and stuffed mussels. In the afternoon, visit Corniglia and enjoy a walk through its narrow streets.
