Private tour of The Gulf of Poets
Full description
Leaving from the Traghetti Terminal of La Spezia, where you will meet your private guide for the day, you will board a ferry boat to reach the picturesque village of Portovenere. Once there, you will start a proper boat tour to see the islands of the Gulf of Poets, such as Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. These islands are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You will have some time to explore the islands with your guide (you will decide together how much time to dedicate to each island, where to eat and so on).
You will discover why poets and writers from all generations and nationalities - but especially the poets from the English Romanticism - were fascinated by these places. Byron, Shelley, Virginia Woolf, DH Lawrence, all have dedicated poems and thoughts in this stretch of the Ligurian coast, so rugged and sometimes inaccessible.
At the end of the tour, your guide will take you back to La Spezia Traghetti Terminal, where the tour ends.

Reviews
Die Dame, die uns geführt hat, hat die Führung sehr interessant und verständlich gestaltet, wir waren sehr begeistert und beeindruckt.
Only tour I was able to book a few days away. Enjoyed it, it is a must see, there is no doubting this. I do find the price exaggerated, but still glad I did it (I paid 65 euros)
esperienza unica, patrimonio da curare e valorizzare. La guida era preparatissima e molto cordiale. Servizio navetta per i giardini molto efficiente. Sorveglianza al top. Pronti a riprendere turisti maleducati. Unica pecca il bar/buvette dove non sono esposti i prezzi delle consumazioni. Alla mia richiesta dei prezzi dei prodotti erano restii a rispondere ed erano molto scocciati, soprattutto l'addetto alla cassa.
