Recommendation for day-trip driver La Spezia-Cinque Terre

I'll be port in La Spezia the 3rd week in April, 2023 on a cruise and wold like to find a private driver for a small group of 3-4 people that would provide transportation to several of the villages of the Cinque Terre [perhaps not all 5, but at least 3-4]. We'd like to stop for an hour or so in each village, a little longer in one for lunch, then back to the cruise terminal in La Spezia.

Thanks for any suggestions.

All you need is a taxi that can take you from the cruise port to the La Spezia Central train station (10 min ride).
Then take a train to hop from village to village (there are numerous trains every hour going back and forth). Driving there takes forever as the villages are very difficult to reach through those narrow curvy roads through the mountains and cliffs. Trains connect the villages in seconds through the railway tunnels.
