Welcome to my profile, hoping to see you soon in person. Where ? The Cinque Terre are a kind of must-see, for your first time here, but do not put limit to what is possible: there is so much to see in this area, and around it. Before coming back to these points, let me however briefly introduce myself. I am Filippo, living now between La Spezia and Manarola. I also own a camper van, my companion during my escapes to the mountains here around. My background is in nature and plant science, ecology, traditional foods, all topics that are strictly related to what we can see and feel during my tours. Don't be surprised: in all our areas the environment and human activities have tight connections, in which we will be completely immersed. It would be ideal if you could bring back home the feeling of having been a part of this system, at least for a while. So, come, and try to stay for some time, to catch at least the essence of places. Nevertheless, I understand that everybody have his own needs, commitments, and schedule, so I'm here to satisfy your individual requests, whether on a classical one-day visit to the Cinque Terre villages, or with more complex and diverse programs. So, visit the villages, possibly also in their most hidden corners, hike along incredible paths, finding the less beaten places, organise programs across several days, taste local food, besides the touristic stereotypes. All that can be for you, and I can be your facilitator, to gently introduce to the real essence of places. And do not forget that the whole coastline from the Cinque Terre to Genova is magnificent, with plenty of touristic and hiking possibilities. Add the inland places of the Apennines and the Apuanian Alps, and the picture is complete. Looking forward to getting in touch with you! Notes All of my tours are absolutely flexible and thought to be adapted to customers preference, within what is possible and safe to do. The ones you find here are examples that you can choose and we can tune to your needs. Do not be shy to ask for a tailor made program. In the coastal areas the climate is mild: why don't you also think about coming in winter ? Hiking is my preference, but I usually guide touristic tours at the Cinque Terre, for which you are welcome; to take the best out of them, however, a minimum walking is necessary.

Overview of your La Spezia tour

"Off the beaten tracks"... A phrase indicationg situations where you can establish more authentic relation with places, immersing in nature or towns, out of the crowd. Is this possible for the Cinque Terre, one of the most renowned (and crowded) touristic spots of the world? Space and time are the keys... Come out of season. The places are the same but there will be something really different. When is "out of season"? It depends, also from year to year; but generally, consider from November to March, with January and February the most solitary months. What will you find? Silence, almost empty villages; depending on weather, the clearest days of the year, and ideal hiking conditions; generally pleasant temperatures during day time. What can be less comfortable. Many hotels, restaurants and shops are closed; trains are less frequent, but still perfectly operating, and mostly empty ! Boat service is not operating; many trails can be closed for maintenance. Shorter days, but time to relax in late afternoon !

Your La Spezia tour itinerary

As a whole coming to the Cinque Terre out of season requires a bit of programming. It is a choice but, in my opinion, can be extremely rewarding. A gift, and a surprise, even for those who have already been here. And, if you really fear the somewhat solitary atmosphere of the Cinque Terre villages, you can stay in some of the towns nearby, like La Spezia, or Sestri Levante, and reach the Cinque Terre by train. We can meet in one of the five villages, or in La Spezia. The itinerary is flexible: it can be one of the standard tours of the villages (see, as an example, the "Cinque Terre basic", or a hiking day. To take the best of your stay, once you decide, contact me for tailor made programs.
