TOURS FROM LIVORNO TO CINQUE TERRE IN DETAIL

The Cinque Terre , meaning “five lands”. They are a handful of tiny dwellings clinging to the steep cliff edges of the Liguria coast. Protected by a National Park, the area is a haven for walking enthusiasts; it offers pathways snaking the coastline with spectacular panoramic views; sparkling turquoise seas; picture-perfect villages characterized by colorful little houses. And the food and wine isn’t bad either: focaccia genovese and white wines like Sciacchetrà are a must-try.

Each terra has its own distinct character:

• Riomaggiore , the southernmost village, is famed for the wine grown on its steep vineyards
• Manarola feels a bit more rustic than its neighboring villages, and exudes charm
• Corniglia , the only village not on the sea, offers breath-taking bird’s eye views of the scenery
• Vernazza is known for the church sitting on the water edge
• Monterosso , the northernmost village, has a long stretch of sandy beach

In our tours from Livorno to Cinque Terre   we offer three standard itineraries . These are, however, intended to be a guideline only: all our tours are totally flexible and we can take you exactly where you want to go.

Please be aware that excursions to the Cinque Terre involve a fair amount of walking; we recommend you bring suitable footwear. You should also know that in the summer months the Cinque Terre can become very crowded with visitors.

ITINERARY 1

Our tours from Livorno to Cinque Terre start when your driver will pick you up outside your cruise liner in Livorno port at whatever time you choose, normally around 7.30am. Once you’ve got to know each other, we’ll head off north on the coastal route, stopping at the southernmost terra , Riomaggiore. From here, you are free to visit the other four villages using the tourist train or ferry services.

Your driver is at your absolute disposal to make your time in the Cinque Terre as enjoyable, stress-free and authentic as possible. We’ll give you a map, point out the main sites, and will recommend (and book) you a fantastic restaurant for your lunch. And if there’s anything you need when you’re out and about, you can always contact us by phone.

At around 4pm, we’ll leave for Livorno port from Riomaggiore, stopping off at the Leaning Tower of Pisa for photographs if we have time.

ITINERARY 2

Your driver will pick you up outside your cruise liner in Livorno port at whatever time you choose, normally around 7.30am. Once you’ve got to know each other, we’ll head off north on the coastal route, stopping at the southernmost terra , Riomaggiore. Here you will be met by an English-speaking local guide who will show you around the best of the Cinque Terre.

Your guide will help you buy tickets for the train or ferry, find and book you traditional restaurants where you can sample local fare, and tell you about the food and wines of the region.

Given how busy the Cinque Terre can become in the summer months, this is an excellent option for travelers wanting a relaxed and stress-free day.

Your guide will stay in contact with your driver, who will pick you up wherever you are around 4pm, to take you back to Livorno port. If there is time before your ship sets sail, we will also take you the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

ITINERARY 3

Your driver will pick you up outside your cruise liner in Livorno port at whatever time you choose, normally around 7.30am. Once you’ve got to know each other, we’ll head off north on the coastal route, stopping at Corniglia. The only village not on the sea front, Corniglia sits on top of a steep hill, affording a stunning panoramic outlook.

At Corniglia you will meet an English-speaking local guide who will accompany you down an easy pathway to the sea. The trek will immerse you in the sights and smells of the Mediterranean outdoors: olive groves, vineyards, turquoise seas.

When you have finished your walk, you will visit the other villages by train. Your guide will stay in contact with your driver, who will pick you up wherever you are around 4pm, to take you back to Livorno port. If there is time before your ship sets sail, we will also take you the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Description:

This shore excursion from the port of Livorno to Cinque Terre is a romantic excursion that will allow you to explore the spectacular pastel towns and fantastic scenery of the Ligurian Coast.

This private tour from Livorno to the Cinque Terre will begin with a private driver pick-up from the port (or another location that we can agree) with a luxury sedan or minivan. Upon arrival in Riomaggiore , you will meet your licensed private guide who will lead you through this picturesque coast-side town with post-card perfect panoramas at every bend.  Your tour will wind you through the narrow pebbled streets, bringing you to the rocky cove where colorful buildings keep watch over the crowd of fishing boats. At Riomaggiore you and your guide will travel via boat or train to Manarola , since the hiking path Via dell’Amore is currently closed. Manarola is perched atop jagged ocean cliffs and surrounded by lush-green vineyards and is the second of Cinque Terre’s five towns. Savor the fresh coastal air, purchase a typical white linen outfit or taste the local wine Sciacchetrà , as you tour this colorful town with your guide. From Manarola, you will depart on a boat for Vernazza (If sea conditions permit and closed during autumn-winter time). The alternative will be arrival via train). Enjoy the view of pastel villages, the town landlocked town of Corniglia and the dramatic coastline as you sail towards Cinque Terre’s most famed town. Once reaching the small port at Vernazza, your tour will continue through this enchanted village as you visit the natural harbor with bobbing buoyed boats, the small-pebbled beach and the bayside piazza. Admire the old fortress that once protected the town for centuries from raiding pirates and step inside the domed church Santa Margherita d’Antiochia. The tour will continue with lunch, where you can taste the flavors of the regions.

From Vernazza, you will take the train for a short ride to Monterosso , the last town during your visit. Your tour will continue as you pass Monterosso’s large beach, lined with colorful umbrellas and spiral up through the village. After your visit to Monterosso, the tour will conclude as your private driver takes you back to the port of Livorno (please contact us if you wish to arrange a different pick-up or drop-off point).  As this is a private tour , you will not be part of a group. The driver and guide will be entirely dedicated to you. The towns of Cinque Terre cannot be toured by car: together with your private guide you will go from one to the other by train or boat. Our private transportation service will take you from Livorno to the first of the five villages and then pick you up again at the last of the five towns to take you back to Livorno. Due to the nature of the places visited, this tour is unfortunately not suitable for persons with mobility limitations.

Please note that the boat service is suspended between November 1st and March 20th.

Dear Jennifer, I just want you to know how much the 8 of us enjoyed our tour with Loredana at the end of April. As you may remember, we rescheduled the tour from 10 to 11 (thank goodness!) and despite the crowds, we all had a great time. Loredana was helpful, patient, and informative. Despite the huge train crowds, she kept us all together, and kept us all smiling. She arranged a luncheon for us at vernazza, so that when we arrived there, a table was waiting for us at a fabulous restaurant. She was an excellent guide, and we are so grateful to have had the experience, and to have met her. Many thanks to you and Kiss from Italy. Debbie S., USA

DETAILS: CINQUE TERRE from Livorno

Today, in the midst of the throng of shops, restaurants and tourists, it's hard to imagine the Cinque Terre (which means "Five Lands") as sleepy fishing villages. The old-world charm can still be felt, however, and the stunning Ligurian coastline hasn't changed. Although farming has largely been replaced by tourism, excellent white wine is still produced in the area, as evidenced by the terraced vineyards. If you're lucky you may see one of the ingenious little trams used to harvest the grapes. It's no surprise that the Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre is a Unesco World Environmental and Cultural Heritage site. It's also a a Nature Sanctuary, with many delightful trails. If you love to hike we have an itinerary that includes the trail from Vernazza to Corniglia . We recommend you take the ferry to travel between the villages . Frankly the view from the sea is better than being in town! If the ferry isn't running due to rough seas or bad weather you can take the train or we'll take you by car. Note that cars aren't permitted in the villages, and the route you'll take on foot from where we can park is quite steep in most places. The schedule gives you time to sit down for lunch , which is a key component of this tour! There are gobs of good restaurants, and of course seafood takes centre stage. Your driver can help you with recommendations.

We advise a 7:30 start , assuming you dock by 7am. If you dock at 8:00 the pickup is at 8:30. We also offer a 9:30 start for ships that dock at 9am. The start time is not flexible as it coincides with the limited ferry schedule.

With a 7:30 pickup the itinerary is as follows*:

• 07.30 pick up at the ship
• 09.15-10.00 Portovenere
• 10.00 take the ferry from Portovenere to Manarola (driver-guide takes the vehicle to meet you in Vernazza)
• 10.45-11.45 Manarola
• 11.45 take the ferry from Manarola to Vernazza
• 12.05-14.15 Vernazza, have lunch (not included in the rate)
• 14.15-15.00 panoramic road, stop briefly in Corniglia
• 17.00 back at the ship

With an 8:30 pickup the itinerary is as follows*:

• 08.30 pick up at the ship
• 10.15-11.00 Portovenere
• 11.00 take the ferry from Portovenere to Manarola (driver-guide takes the vehicle to meet you in Vernazza)
• 11.45-12.45 Manarola
• 12.45 take the ferry from Manarola to Vernazza
• 13.05-14.45 Vernazza, have lunch if you wish (not included in the rate)
• 14.45-15.30 panoramic road, stop briefly in Corniglia
• 17.30 back at the ship.

About the tour

Cinque Terre day trip from Livorno  – Shore Excursion from the port of Livorno

The tour will begin with your private driver collecting you from your hotel or cruise ship in Livorno (another custom location in the area can be agreed) with a luxury sedan or minivan, and after 1.5H drive you will reach Manarola, the first of the “Five Lands”, namely “ Cinque Terre “.

Upon arrival in Manarola, you will meet your licensed private guide who will lead you through this beautiful town. Your tour will proceed through the narrow pebbled streets, bringing you to the rocky cove surrounded by colorful buildings.

From Manarola, you will take a train/ferry for a short ride to Vernazza. Enjoy the ancient fortress used to protect the town for centuries from pirates and visit the domed church dedicated to Santa Margherita d’Antiochia. During the tour, accordingly to the itinerary and your tour guide suggestions, you can have lunch and taste the flavors of the regions.

From Vernazza, you will then depart by train/ferry and reach our last stop, the beautiful village of Monterosso. The tour will then conclude with a transfer back to your hotel/cruise ship in Livorno or other desired location.

Please note that the towns of Cinque Terre cannot be toured by car! You will visit the different villages together with your private guide (about 4H private tour) by train or boat (boat service is suspended during Autumn/Winter season and in case of bad sea conditions). Your chauffeur will take you from Livorno to Manarola and then will pick you up again in Monterosso to drive back to Livorno.

DOWNLOAD BOOKING FORM

Details of our shore excursion:

– Private transfer by minivan (up to 8 passengers) or minibus (9 passengers or more) from the port of Livorno. In case of minivan our driver meets you directly at the ship in the morning and drives you for the whole day. In case of minibus our driver meets you at a bus parking area near the ship that you will reach by a fast free shuttle service organized by the port. On the way back the mininus will drop you off directly by the ship.

– Discover the charm of the Cinque Terre with a leisurely walking tour. Did you know that the Cinque Terre region has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site ? It’s absolutely worth a visit. Explore this unique and spectacular destination, just beyond the borders of Tuscany, accompanied by our expert guide. Your visit to the Cinque Terre will be tailored to weather conditions, and our guide will assist you in making the best choices for your day.

–  Typically, your journey begins in La Spezia, where you’ll rendezvous with your guide before embarking on a scenic train ride to your first destination. The slow regional train winds its way along the rugged coastline, providing breathtaking views of the sea and charming villages. Take your time to savor the experience, stopping for a gelato, coffee, or lunch at your leisure.

– In one of the villages the guide will give you one hour for lunch (not included in the program).

– Time and weather permitting, you’ll have the opportunity to explore three villages , often including Vernazza, Riomaggiore, and Monterosso . However, the route might also include Corniglia and Manarola. On the return journey, get ready for a captivating view of the Cinque Terre from the sea during a boat trip back to La Spezia. This unique perspective offers a fresh and unforgettable outlook on the landscape.

– Return within the early evening, depending on the docking time of the cruiseship.

Note: To save you valuable time, we plan to purchase skip-the-line tickets in advance for the boat and the train. During the peak season, waiting in line for 30-40 minutes is a real possibility. To avoid it, your guide will have the tickets ready for you upon arrival, and you’ll need to reimburse

This is a list of specialties that you are likely to sample as part of the program of this tour. Please, note that the specialties of the tasting session and/or lunch may vary according to the season and the availability of the products in the day of the tour.

Italian gelato

The best Italian gelato is made of very genuine seasonal ingredients with a specific knowledge of the technique of preparation developed in Italy for centuries. A good gelato is a good alternative of a proper meal according to the opinion of the best nutritionists.

Caffè espresso

The most common coffee ordered at Italian bars is espresso. Its quantity is very small and it is supposed to be nicely creamy on the top. Many Italians sip it quickly while standing at a bar, so not sitting or longly debating around it.

In our tour we like showing you places off the beaten track and introducing you to Tuscan people with their personal stories, careers and characters. You will have one of our guides with your party during the whole tour. Please, see below all the guides who can be with you. During this experience you can also meet some of the Tuscan friends involved in the events. Please, see below which friends you are likely to encounter.

The Cinque Terre from a private boat

When we say Cinque Terre, we refer to the five villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso. These five gems, together with the village of Portovenere and the three tiny islands off its coast, have been declares a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997 for its enchanting beauty. Indeed the man presence during the centuries did not alter the beautiful environment surround the area besides the many agricultural terrains. The coexistence of these beautiful old fishing villages along the Ligurian Coast together with the terraced vineyards and rows of olive trees is today the distinguishing feature of the area. You will learn about the Cinque Terre navigating comfortably on our private boat. From there you will see:

• Riomaggiore, the first village after Portovenere when travelling north, with its colourful facades
• Manarola, rising from the black rocks that highlight even more the many colours of its houses
• Vernazza with its small natural harbour and the rising tower of the Doria Castle
• Corniglia, the only of the Cinque Terre that was not built directly on the sea but on a cliff about 100 meters over the sea level
• Monterosso, the northernmost village with its sandy Fegina beach and its Capuchin Monastery on the hill.

Free time in the charming village of Portovenere

The charming village of Portovenere is located on the Ligurian Riviera, south of the Cinque Terre villages. It also belongs to the UNESCO’s World Heritage Site together with the Cinque Terre villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso. In Portovenere, there is no railway station. For this reason, getting here by boat is the best option.

Among the main attractions to be seen in Portovenere, you find:

• The Church of San Pietro, a picturesque Gothic church located on a small promontory and overlooking the sea
• The Church of San Lorenzo, built in a Romanesque style and rebuilt many times during the centuries
• The Byron’s cave, named after the English poet Lord Byron, who used to come to swim here with his friends
• The Doria Castle with remains dating back to the 12 th century on the top of the hill
• The three islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. On these last two you can admire ruins of ancient monasteries

Many consider Portovenere to be the most charming village in the Gulf of Poet (formally the Gulf of La Spezia, stretching between Portovenere and Lerici). From here, when the visibility is good, you can see the Cinque Terre and recognize each of them. During your free time here, you can visit the local shops and get lost in the tiny medieval alleys.

The area was declared UNESCO’s Heritage Site in 1997. Learn more about this unique area in our article .

Livorno Cruise Port Guide &The Best Things to Do

Does your cruise stop in livorno italy here’s everything you should know about the livorno cruise port..

On the west coast of Italy sits Livrono, a lively port city that is the gateway for cruisers to two of Italy’s most iconic cities: Pisa and Florence.

Perched within Tuscany, this colorful city is the third-largest in the region. Being so conveniently located near many of Italy’s popular attractions, there really is an abundance for cruisers to see and do.

As a travel advisor who specializes in cruises, I have extensive knowledge of cruise ports and the best shore excursions for each.

In this article, I’m going to tell you everything you need to know about Livorno Cruise Port and how to best plan your visit.

I can plan your excursions (and cruise) for you FOR FREE!

Planning a cruise or excursion can be overwhelming and stressful. Let me take care of it for you – I can book your cruise or excursions at no additional cost.

Where is Livorno Cruise Port Located?

Livorno Cruise Port is located within the main Port of Livorno which sits right beside Livorno city, on the northwest coast of Italy.

Within the Tuscany region in Italy, Livorno is the closest cruise port to Pisa and Florence.

Pisa is a 40-minute taxi ride or a 20-minute train journey from Livorno Cruise Port and Florence is a 1.5-hour taxi ride or train journey from the cruise terminal.

The Livorno Cruise Port is vast with berths that can accommodate up to 8 cruise ships at any one time. The berths are dotted around the harbor, on different piers.

Beside each berth are a taxi rank, tourist information center, car rental stand, and opportunities to book day trips and tours. 

How to Get to Livorno City Center from the Cruise Port

The cruise port is located within a working industrial port and to journey from the cruise port to Livorno city, you’d have to travel through the working part of the port which is in fact not permitted on foot for health and safety reasons.

The good news is that the port offers a shuttle service from the cruise terminal to Piazza Grande, in the city center.

From Piazza Grande, it’s a 30-minute walk to Livorno Centrale, the main train station in the city.

Alternatively, there is a taxi rank beside every cruise terminal so you can grab a taxi directly to your destination.

Are There Free Shuttles From Livorno Cruise Port?

There are shuttle buses to Livorno city center offered to every cruise ship passenger. However, the cost depends on your cruise liner. Some cruise lines offer shuttles for free to their cruise passengers, and others charge a fee that you can expect to be around €5.

Best Time to Visit Livorno

The best time to visit Tuscany is between April and October when the weather is more favorable. The height of summer (June, July, and August) will provide the best weather. The summer months are also the busiest time to visit Livorno and key sights can be very crowded.
