What's this trip about?

    The unique climate, culture, cuisine, and stunning coastline of the Italian Riviera create an atmosphere famously conducive to sparking joy, delight, and inspiration for travellers who have been coming here for centuries. For this reason, Alma Italia includes an Italian Riviera tour in our list of classic Italy tours. On Alma Italia’s Liguria tours, you will relax by the crystalline turquoise water of the Mediterranean Sea splashing against secluded coves and sandy beaches. Take strolls through the charming villages of the Cinque Terre and up through the vineyards, olive orchards, and citrus groves growing high on the terraces above the sea below. Fishing boats await to take you for sunset drinks in the balmy evening summer breeze. Ancient castles and elegant churches will inspire adventure and spiritual moments in medieval towns dotted along this Italy coastal tour that travels along the Riviera coast all the way up to France. As a bonus adventure, we can even arrange to take a sneak peak over the French border to experience the added joys of the French Riviera! There are so many highlights on Italian Riviera tours that it is impossible to fit them all into a two week itinerary but below is some inspiration for what your Italian Riviera trip could look like. Like all our Italy tours, Alma Italia’s Liguria tours are completely tailored for your family or group of friends. This is absolutely one of our most requested guided tours of Italy and it is so much more than just an Italy beach holiday.

Itinerary

Travel Map

Day 1: Arrival Milan

Your Italian Riviera trip will begin in Milan. As with all our Italy tours, you’ll be warmly welcomed with a smile and a wave by both your private driver and Alma Italia tour host. Trips to Italy can be complicated but with Alma Italia private guided tours of Italy, y...

Day 2: Lake Como day trip

This is of course an Italian Riviera tour  but it would be remiss to come all the way to Milan and not take a side trip to experience the splendour and beauty of Lake Como, only 45 mins drive from Milan. It will immediately become obvious why Lake Como has become a hi...

Day 3: Sestri Levante

It’s finally time to make the journey to the Italian Riviera coastline to begin our Liguria tour, a dream region that can offer the best Italy vacations. We will make our first base in Sestri Levante, at a charming authentic Italian style boutique hotel where we will ...

Day 4: Cinque Terre

For many of our guests our famous Cinque Terre tours are the biggest pull to the Italian Riviera. There is no doubt that the area is now so popular that a private guided tour of the Cinque Terre makes all the difference ensuring you experience the best of the Cinque T...

Day 5: Lerici

Lerici and her pretty sister village of San Terenzo , are the charming fishing villages at the heart of a bay which has become known as the ‘Gulf of Poets’. Lesser known internationally than the Cinque Terre, Lerici is much loved by Italian locals and It will be immed...

Day 6: Levanto and Bonassola

Surfs up today at Levanto, Italy’s best surfing village, just a few kms up the coast from the Cinque Terre. Another charming beachside village, Levanto has a very different vibe as it attracts the surf crowd. After a morning wander around the town enjoying the classic...

Day 7: Portofino, Camogli, and San Fruttuoso

After breakfast, your private guide will pick you up at the hotel to start one of the most classic days on Italian Riviera tours around the Portofino peninsula. You will fall in love with the picturesque village of Camogli with its row of tall and colorful houses line...

Day 8: Genova to Alassio

Today we will say goodbye to Sestri Levante as your private driver and Alma Italia guide take you further up the coast to our next home at Alassio.

We will stop on the way for a guided walking tour of Genova, a fascinating port city, and birthplace of Cristophe...

Day 9: Alassio and Laigueglia

The town of Alassio has the longest sandy beach in this area of our Italian Riviera tour and reaches nearly two miles. Iconic beach umbrellas and deck chairs speckle the sand as the acquamarine water gently laps at the beach underneath the toes of beachgoers. Elegant ...

Day 10: Noli and the beach resorts of the Italian Rivieria

The beachside village of Noli, a little further up the coast from Alassio is one of our ‘hidden gems’ from our Alma Italia ‘little black book’ of Italy and you won’t find too many non`Italian visitors here. Most Italian Riviera tours may never make it here but it is o...

Day 11: Sanremo

Today we will visit Sanremo, the traditional capital of the Italian Riviera. Sanremo welcomes visitors with glitz, glamour, and gorgeous scenery. Villas ascend the mountain sides that overlook the Mediterranean Sea. Locals refer to the Sanremo as the City of Flowers d...

Day 12: Menton and the French Riveria

Arrividerci Italia, Bonjour France!

Your private driver and tour host will take you over the close by border today into France. We’ll stop first in Menton, the first French resort town where you will stay for the last two nights in a charming french boutique ho...

Day 13: Nice and St Jean Cap Ferrat

On our last day we will enjoy touring this corner of the French Cote D’azur. We will have a foodie tour of Nice’s fabulous fresh food market in the morning and in the afternoon stroll along her beach front promenade that stretches for miles along the coast towards Can...

Day 14: Depart Nice airport

Departure from Nice airport. After your last breakfast of this trip to Italy, it’s time to head back to the airport. It’s time to say Arrivederci Italia, or perhaps, only `Ciao for now`. You`ll be plotting your next Alma Italia Italy tour all the way on the flight home.
