TOUR DESCRIPTION

Our Private Tour Portofino, Santa Margherita and tour Camogli  will take you to discover one of the most famous and romantic parts of our coast “The Italian Riviera” which since 1800 has been famous all over the world for the many films and songs that have been inspired by these unique places as Fred Buscaglione “I found my love in portofino”. Your Driver will pick you up directly at your accommodation with our luxury vehicle. During your drive your fluent English speaking driver, expert of the area, will give you an introduction and useful advices on the things to do in Portofino.

The Portofino Marine, its enchanting little port and its small square surrounded by what were once the fishermen's houses, is located at the end tip of a small steep peninsula covered with Italian Villas and Luxury Hotels, frequented by the high society and celebrity visitors, immersed in the mediterranean pine forest, while the Portofino harbour hosts hundreds of luxury boats and yachts moored in the shade of the oak and pine wood during the summer period. You will visit the village and will have time for shopping in Portofino that is surely interesting due to the many nice small boutiques, around the small marina, where to find luxury high end fashion boutiques and unique local shops.

Just before, on the winding road that arrives in Portofino, you will find the enchanting town of Santa Margherita Ligure, another jewel of the Ligurian coast, with a tourist port and numerous luxury hotels, a seaside promenade and an area of small shops where you can enjoy a good cappuccino,  go hunting for souvenirs or buy local food delights such as the famous “Pesto alla Genovese” made with basil and oil of the province. Santa Margherita is an exquisite tourist destination to enjoy the view of the Mediterranean Sea and its traditional hospitality.

We can book for you a short ride on a boat to go from Santa Margherita to Portofino to enjoy the view of the Gulf and the villages from the sea or we can just drive directly from Santa Margherita to Portofino using your vehicle on the scenic route over the cliffs. We will reserve for you a nice restaurant to enjoy local food and white and fruity wines of Liguria such as Vermentino. In the afternoon, if you don't want to spend some time on the beach or for shopping, you will have the opportunity to visit the charming fisherman’s village of Camogli,

Camogli, located on the opposite side of the peninsula, overlooking the Paradise Gulf, is famous for its promenade, where you will enjoy a real fresh handmade “Gelato” (icecream), and the many colourful buildings overlooking the sea, its little church on the beach and the little harbour with the fishermen's boats. These are the only ones authorized to fish within the Portofino Marine Protected Area that surrounds the Portofino area.

An alternative option for the day is Portofino boat tour to reach the famous San Fruttuoso abbey hidden in one of the coves between Portofino and Camogli and reachable only from the sea.

At the end of the day you will return comfortably back after a day of relax in the sun of The Italian Riviera.
