After a few nights in a small B&B in Manarola, we are taking the train to Venice, for one night only, so we'd love to get there as soon as possible.
The best option originally was the 443a La Spezia to Venice by 1035a, with one transfer which gave us 1hr 15 mins to transfer... however the earliest train from Manarola to La Spezia is at 510 :(
Has anyone had any experience with a taxi from Manarola to La Spezia this early and/or the price?
Our other option (option b) would be to take the 615 La Spezia, arriving in Venice at 1135am- with two transfers... Parma 41mins, and Bologna 32mins.
There's earlier trains at 544 and 615, that would get us to Venice by 1035 or 11am, but two transfers each that are only 10-20mins ... I'm not convinced we'd make the transfer!
I think I just convinced myself that option B is best, that a taxi might be more hastle than its worth, but would like opinions please :)
Also, we are traveling with 40L backpacks only, so no major luggage etc.
Thank you! !
