    • Private Transfer with English-speaking driver

    • Food and Drinks
    • The ferry (optional; approx. 30 Euro pp for those 12 yrs of age and up, 15 Euro for children 6-11.)

    What you'll see and do

    1. Portovenere

      The history of Portovenere is long and interesting, dating back to the 1st Century BC, but most folks simply enjoy it for its charm. The main attractions are the imposing 13th Century church of St. Peter with its striking black and white stripes, and the colorful row houses along the marina that make one think of Portofino. Literature lovers will remember that Lord Byron swam across the gulf of La Spezia from the grotto now named after him to visit Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1822. Portovenere has evolved from fishing community during Roman times to base of the Byzantine fleet after the fall of the Western Roman Empire to gateway to Cinque Terre today: a living picture postcard of lush green terrain set against the brilliant blue sea.

    2. Manarola

      Manarola is, perhaps, the most indicative of all the Cinque Terre villages. A tiny marina greets visitors, who will arrive in Manarola's little piazza after climbing a number of stairs (about 35 in all). A beautiful stone church in the Ligurian-Gothic style graces the town, which boasts the candy-coloured houses clinging to cliffs that the Cinque Terre is so famous for.

      60 minutes here

    3. Vernazza

      Vernazza is perhaps the most popular of the Cinque Terre villages. The marina area is very lively, with lots of terraces where you can enjoy a refreshment or snack. You will likely be in Vernazza at lunch time (depends on pickup time), and there are many good restaurants featuring seafood and the excellent local white wine. The main street in Vernazza is a great place to shop or pause for some gelato (ice cream). For architectural points of interest there's Castello Doria, Vernazza's medieval fortification. Climb the Belvedere Tower for amazing views (small entry fee). Th church of Santa Margherita di Antiochia is also worth a visit: simple but very lovely.

      90 minutes here

    4. Corniglia

      Of all the Cinque Terre villages, Corniglia has best maintained its Medieval aspect. It's the only village that sits high on the cliffs, not reachable by ferry. The narrow streets are pleasant to stroll, and some good gelato (ice cream) can be found in Corniglia. There are some lovely churches, but the best spot in the village in the public terrace with panoramic views up and down the coast.

      30 minutes here

    5. Piazza dei Miracoli

      On Pisa's “Campo dei Miracoli” -- FIeld of Miracles -- you will find not only the Leaning Tower but also the cathedral, baptistery, and cemetery, which are all remarkable monuments.

      15 minutes here

    6. Leaning Tower of Pisa

      Besides being the world's most famous bell tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a beautiful work of architecture dating back to the 12th Century. There is time to climb the Tower if you wish; we can pre-book tickets for you.

    Outstanding Service & Great Experience

    Marco was our driver, and out of our entire 18-day trip to multiple countries with lots of different private drivers hired, we all agreed he was by far the best! Marco was professional through and through offering us chilled water, charging cables, on-time pick-ups, and a very friendly personality! His English is impeccable, and he was very knowledgeable on the area! Highly, highly recommended doing a tour with Papillon Service Italy!

    Great day to Cinque Terre!

    We had such an amazing time with our driver! He was so knowledgeable and truly cared about fulfilling our day. We were not able to ferry to one city so he drove us to the top to get gelato. What a crazy drive that is! Ver conscious of our time to get back to the ship! A truly amazing day!

    Response from the operator: Cara Carla, Yahoo! And thank you for the review! The drive in Cinque Terre is not for the faint of heart, right? Thank you for having put your trust in Papillon Service. Regards, Sharon Richardson Owner/Operator

    Best of Cinque Terre & Pisa Private Shore Excursion from Livorno: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livorno.

    How much does Best of Cinque Terre & Pisa Private Shore Excursion from Livorno cost?

    +

    Prices start at $513 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Livorno usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Best of Cinque Terre & Pisa Private Shore Excursion from Livorno take?

    Is Best of Cinque Terre & Pisa Private Shore Excursion from Livorno worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Livorno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Cinque Terre & Pisa Private Shore Excursion from Livorno?

    +

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Livorno and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    When is the best time to visit Livorno?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Livorno?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +
