• 5Again, this is the second...

  Again, this is the second booking for our group of 20 people. We had 9 kids in our group and Lorenzo was amazing in accommodating our needs.

• 1Not a good experience with this company

  Unfortunately, we were not able to do this tour. They informed us that it was canceled 16 hours before the tour was supposed to depart while we were in the middle of the sea. If we didn't happen to purchase the internet package in our cruise ship, we would have been left with nothing to do in the morning of. We understand they reserve the right to cancel at any time for luck of participation, however, the same thing happened in a different city and the company offered us a different tour that was very similar. This company, on the other hand, showed lack of regard for their customers. If you decide to book this tour please be aware you might end up in the same situation. We were lucky to find a similar excursion with our cruise ship but this is not always the case with less than 24 hours before you arrive in a port. My recommendation, if you book this tour, would be to have a plan B just in case.

• 5Hot is Pisa and Florence!

  Lorenzo was fantastic. He kept us on time and had great knowledge of history from Ancient Rome to ww2. He was kind and curious and made the tour awesome even though the bus was a little hot. Definitely would recommend this tour!!!!

• 4Rushed but good guide

  The guide was excellent. The problem was other patrons. We lost over an hour due to their late arrival and low mobility. It was disappointing to have paid for a full day and have most of our free time eliminated because of others booking the same tour.

• 5Best tour

  Alex and Ricardo were best. Alex spoke good English and explained everything very clearly. This tour company was spot on communicating with us and tour to Florence and Pisa was very good in double decker bus.

About La Spezia

La Spezia is a Ligurian port on the Gulf of Poets, with a naval harbour, museums and the main rail gateway to the Cinque Terre villages and Portovenere.

La Spezia lies at the head of a deep gulf on the Ligurian coast, ringed by hills of olive groves and sheltered by a long breakwater. It is an important naval base as well as a commercial port, and a seafront promenade, Passeggiata Morin, runs beside the harbour. The Amedeo Lia Museum holds paintings and medieval works, and the Castello di San Giorgio on a hill above keeps finds from the area.
