Itinerary

The Italian Riviera still has secrets to share… if you know where to go. One of them is seaside Chiavari, ideally placed between Genoa and the Cinque Terre. From this base, we embark on a well-balanced blend of scenic walks, cultural landmarks and exquisite regional cuisine. You’ll sip wine with world-renowned producers, master pasta and pesto with professional chefs, and hike glorious trails. A free day to visit the Cinque Terre will be a must for most, while the pleasure of staying away from the tourists allows you to enjoy the Italian Riviera in peace.

day 1Adventure starts in Chiavari, Liguria

Begin your adventure in Chiavari, an elegant coastal town on the Italian Riviera with marble-paved arcades, a seaside promenade and an easy train connection to the Cinque Terre and Porto Venere.
Around 6pm, say ciao to your tour leader and fellow travellers, when we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.
Your tour leader then ensures a big Italian welcome by arranging a group dinner at the hotel.
