Our driver/guide, Christian, is an excellent driver and he kept us safe. The van is clean and comfortable. He contacted me via WhatsApp and continued to keep in touch when we were separated throughout the day. He made certain that all six of us had all the information that we needed. At the end of the day, he dropped off two at a restaurant they wanted to go to. Beautiful weather and clear skies contributed to our enjoyment of Cinque Terre.

I highly recommend Luccalimo. Valter was an excellent guide and went above and beyond for our enjoyment. Can’t wait to get back to the Tuscany region again.

Full description

Meet your private driver beside your ship for the 1 and a half hour drive to the delightful fishing village of Portovenere, with its tall and colourful waterfront houses. Enjoy memorable sea views from the promontory where the Church of San Pietro stands. Its Gothic Genovese style dates back to 1256-1277. The church was built on the remains of an early Christian church and Byzantine abbey with parts of a heathen temple from the Roman age. At the foot of the promontory, there is a small grotto named after Lord Byron who took refuge here.

From Portovenere, begin your adventure through the five lands of the Cinque Terre; a unique UNESCO World Heritage landscape. A great way to discover this area is from the sea. You'll have the option of departing from the harbour to enjoy the short ferry ride (additional cost) to either Manarola or Vernazza, both great stop for lunch (at own expense). The ferry journey will take you past Riomaggiore with great photo opportunities from the sea. 

Meet up with your driver to visit Corniglia, the oldest of the villages, set up on the hill. You could continue on to the larger town of Monterosso but please note your time exploring will be rushed if you do try to fit in all the villages in one day and for this tour it is best to keep the day as flexible as possible and see where our journey takes us. In some places you may wish to consider using the train and if the weather and sea conditions are good, we do certainly recommend the local ferry.

Another option for your tour could be to take the ferry from Portovenere (additional cost) to the first village of Riomaggiore and enjoy the 20 minute / 1km level Via dell'Amore walk along the cliff face to Manarola where you can either meet up with your driver or take the 5 minute train journey onward to Vernazza where your driver would be waiting for you.

The above suggestions are just to give you some idea of how to get the best out of your day ashore exploring some of the wonderful highlights this particular area of Italy has to offer. With your own dedicated private driver at your disposal throughout the day, your tour is flexible and if there is anything in particular that you wish to see or do, please let us know and we will do our best to incorporate this into your day. Standard tours have a duration of up to 9 hours and as your tour is private you can certainly personalise your pickup time from port.

All our drivers speak English and have wonderful characters and a wealth of knowledge to ensure a premium travel experience. Our vehicles are impeccably maintained Mercedes sedans and minivans which are continuously updated to provide the highest level of comfort and reliability. This commitment enables us to offer an unrivalled service ensuring your time spent travelling with Luccalimo is both comfortable and memorable.

Includes

  • Port pick-up and drop off with personalised timings to start your tour
  • English-speaking driver
  • Private Mercedes sedan or minivan for up to 7 passengers
  • Water and tissues
  • Tolls, parking and fuel
  • Museum and monument entry as required

Meeting point

Depending on where your ship docks in the port of Livorno, your driver will be on the dock as close to your ship as possible. If there are 2 gangplank exits, they will be waiting in the center of both or will meet you after the new passenger terminal that you will have to walk through. They will be holding a sign with your name on it.

Important information

What to bring

  • Comfortable shoes

Know before you go

  • As vehicle access to the villages is restricted, this tour does involve a lot more walking, much of it up and down hill.
  • Tickets to the Via dell’Amore do need to be pre-purchased as access is restricted and with a set time. This can be done using the Cinque Terre train or trek card and links can be provided if you would like further details. You may also be able to purchase tickets last minute directly from the National Park Info Points in each village.

This is a perfect excursion from a cruise ship. Our driver Cristiano met us just off the ship ramp. We had a comfortable 7 persons van for 6 people. Cristiano is an excellent driver. He used WhatsApp to communicate with us before and during the trip. His recommendations were great, and he made a lunch reservation for us. We managed to cover Portovenere and 3 of the Cinque Terre villages in a few hours, including a ferry ride and a lunch. We couldn’t have done it without the tour.
