Description

Enhance your shoreside experience with a Regent Choice small group tour. Hosting no more than 16 guests, these tours provide a more intimate experience and allow for more personal engagement with your knowledgeable guide.

Celebrate the jet-setting village of Portofino and stop in Santa Margherita Ligure, where you’ll see the town’s spectacular Baroque basilica, on this unforgettable tour. During your leisurely seaside drive, you’ll learn this fabled stretch of coastline has been a holiday playground of royal families, politicians, wealthy industrialists and movie stars. Arriving in elegant Santa Margherita Ligure, enjoy a brief tour, during which you’ll view the magnificent Baroque Chiesa di Santa Margherita d’Antiochia. Stand in awe within the church, where seemingly every square inch has been extravagantly decorated with gilded stucco and woodwork, vivid frescoes and expressive sculptures. Board a ferry for the picturesque journey to iconic Portofino, a tiny hamlet where pastel-hued narrow buildings vie for space along the narrow harbor. Follow a guide past the dazzling village’s most notable sights and climb a path to the lighthouse, whose position at the tip of a verdant outcropping jutting toward the sea will likely be one of the day’s most indelible sights. Appreciate free time to wander among beautiful villas and their colorful gardens, catch fabulous views from the ochre church of Chiesa San Giorgio or simply relax by the waterfront, absorbing Portofino’s breathtaking setting.
