Genoa Walking Tour - We enjoyed a fantastic walking tour off Genoa, Italy with our very qualified, accommodating and pleasant tour guide. The city was incredible to visit, and our guide pointed out the highlights off the city and incorporated history off the Crusade that we would have never noticed on our own. I would recommend Poula for your tour guide should there be an opportunity to visit this beautiful city.
