THIS IS A PRIVATE TOUR
You will be met at the port by a Cruising Excursions representative who will then guide you to your air conditioned transportation.
A relaxing 30-40 minute drive will bring us to Rapallo from where we take a brief drive along the ‘Golden Sun Road’ towards the sophisticated resort town of Santa Margherita. A short 10 minute cruise to Portofino gives us the opportunity to view the stunning little inlets, secluded beaches, and the beautiful tree covered hill sides.
As we enter the Bay of Portofino – once a small fishing village and now a sophisticated international tourist destination – we see the charming coloured houses overlooking the square and small port. After a short sightseeing tour (on foot) we have time to explore by ourselves the quaint streets, charming shops, or maybe just ‘people watch’ whilst sitting and relaxing in one of the many pavements cafes and bars.
We return by boat to Santa Margherita where our coach is waiting to take us on our return journey to Genoa in plenty of time to rejoin our ship. Please note this tour is subject to suitable sea conditions. If conditions do not permit us to reach Portofino by boat we will travel by public bus (with our guide) to Portofino.
Due to the transfers by boat this tour is not suitable for those guests in wheelchairs. You will have an opportunity to visit a number of religious sites, in which case should you wish to enter you will need to ensure your shoulders and knees are covered. We occasionally change the sequence of visits to reduce overcrowding or where certain sites close early.
