Amazing tour guide and driver and clean comfortable transportation.
Sonia is Amazing. She contacted us the day before and was waiting for us at the Criuise Terminal. Sonia and our driver Marco were very knowledgeable and professional. We enjoyed ourselves. It was most enjoyable going to a local osteria having local wine and appetizers in Lerici. We leave the area with a greater knowledge and history of the area💕💕

Private Portovenere & Lerici Shore Excursion from La Spezia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Spezia.
How much does Private Portovenere & Lerici Shore Excursion from La Spezia cost?
+
Prices start at $467 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 Private Portovenere & Lerici Shore Excursion from La Spezia take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Private Portovenere & Lerici Shore Excursion from La Spezia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Private Portovenere & Lerici 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 Private Portovenere & Lerici Shore Excursion from La Spezia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Portovenere & Lerici Shore Excursion from La Spezia?
+
Around 0 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Portovenere & Lerici 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 Private Portovenere & Lerici Shore Excursion from La Spezia?

+

What languages is Private Portovenere & Lerici Shore Excursion from La Spezia offered in?
+
