Livorno Private Shore Excursion to Portovenere and the Cinque Terre

Absolutely stunning tour and pur driver and guide Umberto was AMAZING! Comfortable minivan we were 6 pax , aircondition. Umberto picked us up at the port just outside the cruise ship. Drove to Porto Venere and had some time there to walk around and soak up the atmosphere. Drove on to Cinque Terre Manorola were he showed us the old main road hardly any tourists walked there and down to Lovers walk and harbour. He organized for a privat boat to pick us up and that was PRICELESS. The queue for the public boats was LONG! The boat and the lovely boat driver took us past Romaggiore, before heading back towards Manarola, Corniglia and then to Vernazza where Umberto had booked a table at a restaurant on the square. Fantastic! We had some free time after lunch where we walked around V ernazza and walked up to the castle. Stunning views. met up with Umberto for a comfortable and enjoyable drive back to the port. This tour is highly recommended and Umberto is worth his weight in gold. Absolutely magnificent start to our cruise.

It was the best day of our cruise! We visited two of the towns, which was just right for the time we had. Giovanni was our driver, and he was spectacular! He thought of everything, was fully engaged in making sure we had the best time doing exactly what we wanted. Perfect English! Giovanni realized that we loved food, so he arranged lunch at the perfect spot, perfect view, treated like family when we arrived, just awesome. He sensed when to stop. We told him that we had never seen Pisa, so we stopped there for 45 minutes at the end of the day - totally random - and it was the perfect amount of time to experience Pisa and be on our way! Wow, WOW, Wow!! Giovanni is the best of the best, we felt like family. Our day was perfect!!!!

Outstanding visit to The Cinque Terre. Our driver was amazing.
