Welcome to Liguria! I would be delighted to share with you my love, passion, and knowledge of this extraordinary corner of Italy. Let me take you beyond the usual tourist routes and immerse you in the authentic spirit of the Riviera di Levante, from the breathtaking Cinque Terre to Portofino and the enchanting Gulf of Tigullio, as well as some of Tuscany’s most fascinating highlights, including Pisa. My private and customized tours are carefully designed around your interests, allowing you to discover not only the beauty of these destinations, but also their history, traditions, flavors, and hidden corners. Experience the Cinque Terre from a different perspective: wander through narrow, picturesque streets and hidden passageways, discover the fascinating history of these five unique villages, and enjoy breathtaking views along the way. Taste some of the finest local wines and extra virgin olive oils, meet the people who preserve centuries-old traditions, and experience the authentic flavors of Liguria. Or immerse yourself in the local lifestyle with a visit to a traditional market, where you can choose and fresh, seasonal fruit or cheese to taste . Whether you are looking for culture, history, food and wine, breathtaking landscapes, or simply an unforgettable day discovering Italy, I will be happy to create an itinerary especially for you. This is just a taste of what awaits you! Tours can be arranged using public transportation or private transportation with a professional driver, depending on your preferences and itinerary. I look forward to welcoming you and making your time in Liguria and Tuscany a truly memorable experience.

Overview of your La Spezia tour

This tour includes a morning meeting with me at the train station or any other location upon request. You will experience the charming wild nature of the Cinque Terre and stroll in the ancient narrows streets. Our first stop will be Portovenere, on the western promontory of the Gulf of La Spezia, well known also with the name of "Gulf of poets" as many poets, writers and artists spent their holidays or part of their life in the villages and small towns of this gulf, enchanted by the beauty of this paradise. You will have a chance to breath the ocean breeze same as Lord Byron did on the promontory of Portovenere and walk with your eyes up on the ancient streets and admire the "verticality" of these places. We can adjust the schedule of the tour upon your request to ensure you the maximum comfort. I will be at your disposal for any suggestions. Private transportation on request. Boats available only from the end of March to the end of October.

Had a fantastic Pesto making class and lunch at Nesun Dorma, I highly recommended our guide Emilia.

Emilia was a wonderful guide. Due to bad weather, we had to adjust our plans and substitute our time in Portovenere. Instead, we went to Riomaggiore, which was just beautiful. We had a fantastic lunch in Monterossa and got to Vernazza as well. We appreciated her concern for my husband's mobility issue, and we couldn't have had a more memorable day. We highly recommend your tour with Emilia. We feel like we have a new friend.

This was a fantastic tour with an awesome guide. Emilia was vibrant and engaging, and easy to communicate with. She had our schedule sorted in advance, and despite it being an incredibly hot day, her energy level did not drop. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Emilia, who had excellent knowledge of the area.

Emilia was a perfect host for our Cinque Terre adventure. She was timely with responses prior to meeting, met us at the agreed-upon location, guided us to the ferry that took us to Portovenere and onto Monterosso al Mare. We explored Portovenere a bit and visited the St Peter church at the top of the hill and then took a nice relaxing and visually stunning ride to Monterosso. We had a lovely lunch. Emilia catered to our needs and was agreeable to all requests. We highly recommend her.

Emilia very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding us through Porto Venere and the villages of Cinque Terre, and then back to La Spezia. Her value was in the local knowledge, and also in who to spend our time among the five villages (she focused on three, plus of course Porto Venere which was a highlight - don't miss it!) and also where to eat. Fantastic lunch! She also knew which local shops to pop into for fantastic focacia and also pesto. A great day!
