Tours in La Spezia

Do you want a unique location for a day of relaxation and the beauty of the landscapes? When we talk about the Cinque Terre and an excursion outside the usual itineraries we think of a car rental with driver and the company of whoever you prefer. Here's how to spend a few hours away from the world and the daily grind. The Cinque Terre are an all-Italian natural beauty, nestled between Punta di Cavo Montenero and Punta Mesco, an area rich in bays and peninsulas. A fairytale atmosphere and ancient terraces are the typical characteristics of these areas. The Cinque Terre, as the name of this wonderful land also suggests - comes from the five villages that delimit the beauty of the place: Monterosso, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore and, again, Vernazza. With Cinque Terre Light, the destination will be limited to the elegant setting of Riomaggiore and Manarola, without forgetting the fascinating Portovenere. Private minivan with air conditioning
