Cinque Terre Portovenere Private Tour for Cruise Ship Guests
Overview
In an intimate and private way you will have a boat all to yourself, where you can relax and enjoy a unique view of a UNESCO World Heritage site in 7 hours and if you are lucky when we stop for a swim you could even spot dolphins in the crystal clear waters of Ligurian Sea which is part of the "Sanctuary of the Cetaceans".
You will know the history of the Gulf of Poets, the Palmaria's Island, Portovenere, an ancient fishing village so loved by the English poet Lord Byron, and the small villages of the Cinque Terre, five picturesque villages with colorful houses, suspended on the hills by terraced vineyards near the sea.
You will have time to swim, take pictures and relax between sea and music and learn so much local history.
We will be back on time to your cruise ship.
