Terrific tour for any age. - Our guide, Lorenzo was very proud of his city and happy to talk about it. He had facts and stories that you wouldn’t find in a guide book. Then, there was the focaccia, and the cone of seafood ( wonderful.)! At the end of the tour, there was wonderful wine, and the best gelato I have ever had!

Lorenzo was our tour... - Lorenzo was our tour guide and he took us to some of the best places in Genova that we wouldn't have known otherwise. They were so good in fact that we kept on going back to the places that he took us to. I highly recommend doing this tour to get to know the city from a local.

History tour with food and wine added - Lorenzo did a wonderful job Good information and answered all our questions. The choice of food tasting he chose for us was also very good especially the seafood and of course the wine on a very chilly day in Genova

Food was exceptional - Lorenzo was a great guide. The food was exceptional and enough for double our number. So glad I didn’t plug into the cruise line tours for 4x the cost. I’d do this tour again.

Scrummy Genoese specialities - Excellent tour of part of the old city. Then delicious seafood, morsels with pesto and salsa di noci, plain focaccia, focaccia con formaggio (really scrummy) and polpettone, followed by delicious semi freddo. All washed down with red and white wine. Each 'course' was taken at different venues so we got to meet lots of artisanale/specialist sellers! Great intro to Ligurian/Genoese specialities! 😁

Great food and tour - The food and tour was wonderful. We learned about the history of the city, its culture and food. Don’t eat a big lunch before this tour. You want to save room for all the delicious food and good wine at the end. Lorenzo was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It was like a friend taking you on a tour. Highly recommend

A Taste of Genova - Lorenzo was a wonderful guide. Knowledgeable on Genoa history. Walked us past the Church of San Lorenzo and the Palazzo San Georgio. We then sampled fish, pesto, focaccia, panera genovese, and wine at a number of area shops. Just the right amount of walking and eating.

Perfect gastronomic stops, missing historical info - All very good, well planned gastronomic stops, much appreciated and above all very abundant! I would have preferred to receive more historical and cultural information about the city or the places we passed through. Recommendation to give a clearer meeting point with specifics on the Guide (e.g. Use a colored hat or umbrella to get recognized) because it was difficult to find. Recommendation the experience!!
