Savona Shore Excursions & Italian Riviera Tours - Genoa, Portofino & Monaco Cruise Excursions

Savona is a historic Ligurian port city and the hometown of two Renaissance popes, with its own old town, a "Little Sistine Chapel," and the nearby pottery workshops of Albisola featured on our Savona and Albisola excursion. The city also serves as a convenient gateway to the wider Italian Riviera and beyond, from the harbor of Genoa to the cliffside villages of the Portofino peninsula.

Our Best of Genoa tour visits Christopher Columbus's home city, including its old town and Europe's largest aquarium. The Portofino and Tigullio Coast excursion pairs the glamorous resort town of Portofino with the quieter fishing village of Camogli. For the French Riviera, our Monaco and Monte Carlo tour visits the Royal Palace and the famous Casino, while our Classic Milan tour makes the full day trip inland to see the Duomo, the Galleria, and La Scala. All Savona shore excursions from Private Shore Trips include an English-speaking guide, a private vehicle for your group only, and our back-to-ship guarantee. Reserve with a $50 deposit.
