La Spezia is beautiful....
La Spezia is beautiful. The Cinque Terre coastline is beautiful. The water is beautiful for swimming. They were the highlights. The tour however was poorly organised and confusing. The meeting point was hard to find for tourists who don’t know the area. The boat was late. It was too small and cramped. Lunch was not served till 3pm when guests were starving.

Had a fantastic day at...
Had a fantastic day at Cinque Terre! Between the swim spots, the lunch, and the city stop I can’t recommend this enough.

Cinque Terre from the sea; No better choice
Good communication from the company/tour guide, hence it was easy to find where the boat departed from. Easy to get there from Lerici/La Spezia or other nearby towns/cities. Fantastic boat driver/tour guide who gave funny and interesting facts during the whole tour. We stopped to swim many times, which of course was much appreciated. Lastly, Cinque Terre speaks for itself, and to see it from the sea, without the crowds, was our highlight of the entire trip.

Book with someone else
Despite booking this expertise back in February for a late July 2026 sailing, the operator decided to cancel at 10 pm the night before the sailing and had no decency to explain why. The weather was sunny and the water appeared to be pretty calm. They don’t respect their customers and ruined my day.
Response from the operator: cara signora, il mare era altamente agitato per le 5 Terre, e glieli ho anche scritto, forse lei non ha visto il messaggio, ma va bene cosi, prima o poi ci stancheremo di curare l interesse dei nostri clienti, per poi essere comunque ripagati con queste recensioni, e vi porteremo su un mare agitato per farvi comprendere se i vostri soldi sono stati spesi bene o no. Buona Giornata

Cinque Terre by boat
Finding the boat was a bit of a challenge, but the tour operators guided us when time was getting close. The entire day was well wonderful! The snacks and lunch were delicious, the water was so beautiful. The stop at Monterosso was perfect. Highly recommend this tour.

La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Spezia.
How much does La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours cost?
+
Prices start at $193 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Spezia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Spezia is not rushed.
Is La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Spezia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Spezia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
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 La Spezia and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Spezia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Spezia?
+
On Outty we rank every La Spezia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include La Spezia: Taste Cinque Terre on a Food Tour by Do Eat Better, Portovenere & Three Islands Small Group Boat Tour from La Spezia, Sunset Boat Tour to Cinque Terre with aperitif on board. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Spezia?
+
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 La Spezia?
+
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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours?
+

Where is the meeting point for La Spezia: Cinque Terre Tour with Lunch on Board 8 hours?
+
If you come on foot, you will see a big white bridge, you will have to cross it, at the end of the bridge you have to turn left go towards the sea, you will see a petrol station for boats, that will be the meeting point Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
