    Perfect Tour to see a lot while in port

    This was the perfect way to see the coast of Italy while only in port for a day. Plenty of amazing scenery and alot of free time for exploring the shops in the beautiful towns. Claudio was wonderful and kept us safe on the nail biting terrain. So glad we did this tour and enjoyed the van to ourselves with 7 of us. Communication was perfect. I would highly recommend this tour if you only have a day in a port!

    One of the best tours

    A group of 8 ladies on this trip , and our guide Mauricio was able to make everyone feel at ease. Well maintained bus, excellent guide information, and a lot of ongoing conversation the whole time. Recommended some amazing places and street foods for us to enjoy. Wish we could have his service everyday for the duration of our time in Italy. We had a great time on this tour

    We had an excellent day with Mauricio! He is a great tour guide and a true professional. We scheduled very last minute and were fortunate to find such a reliable and knowledgeable guide. We were picked up promptly from our ship port in la spezia in a nice Mercedes van and driven to Santa Margherita, Portofino and Monteresso. Very relaxed, plenty of time to explore. Incredible views of the coast line on the scenic drive. We had a great day and look forward to having Mauricio plan out our next trip for an entire week!

    Response from the operator: Grazie!

    Monterosso and Portofino Shore Excursion from La Spezia: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Monterosso and Portofino Shore Excursion from La Spezia cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,336 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 Monterosso and Portofino Shore Excursion from La Spezia take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Monterosso and Portofino Shore Excursion from La Spezia worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Monterosso and Portofino Shore Excursion from La Spezia?

    +

    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 Monterosso and Portofino Shore Excursion from La Spezia suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Monterosso and Portofino Shore Excursion from La Spezia?

    +

    Around 2 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Monterosso and Portofino Shore Excursion from La Spezia 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 Monterosso and Portofino Shore Excursion from La Spezia?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; All taxes, fees and handling charges; In-vehicle air conditioning; Port pickup and drop-off; and WiFi on board on all most our vehicles ( NOT ALL OF THEM). Not included: Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
