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 villages of Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure, where you’ll visit the town’s spectacular Baroque basilica, on this unforgettable tour. During your illuminating outing, you’ll learn this fabled stretch of coastline has long been a holiday playground of royal families, politicians, wealthy industrialists and movie stars. In iconic Portofino, a tiny hamlet where pastel-hued narrow buildings vie for space along the snug harbor, begin your walking tour in the main square. Follow your guide as you ascend through the narrow streets, passing gracious villas accented with lush, tropical gardens and Mediterranean olive trees.

Catch fabulous views from the ochre Chiesa San Giorgio and admire the striking Castello Brown before you reach Portofino’s 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. Travel by motorboat to palm-dotted Santa Margherita, where 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. Conclude your exceptional excursion with free time to wander the town’s lively waterfront and seaside piazzas.
