Explore three charming Ligurian villages on a guided tour. First, your motorcoach will take you to breathtaking Rapallo, where you'll enjoy a walking tour. The sights in this village include a 16th-century castle and a single-span Roman bridge over which, according to the legend, Hannibal crossed during his invasion of Italy. It's clear why the historic charm attracted such literary greats as Pound, Lawrence, and Hemingway. Re-board the motorcoach and travel to Santa Margherita . Here, you'll stroll along the seaside promenade and explore the charming shops. Visit a gelateria for a scrumptious treat and admire the luxury yachts and quaint fishing vessels that dot the harbor. Then, board a motorboat for Portofino, an ancient fishing village of Roman origin. Visit the church of Saint George to find the preserved Saint's relics, then take in the superb panoramic views over the Piazzetta before returning to the harbor.
