Fun and delicious experience! - It was an excellent tour of the historic section! Beatrice was extremely friendly and an terrific guide- not only did she take us to delicious stops, but she gave us an in-depth tour at stops along the way. It really brought the city to life and was a definite highlight of our entire trip. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Genoa who wants a greater appreciation for the city and doesn’t want to miss the local cuisine.

A Must Tour! - This is a must tour. You should do it on your first day of arrival because it provides lots of great places to see that are not just food base. Also make sure and bring your appetite….you are fed a lot of food. Our tour guide Marina was exceptional. Thank you Marina for showing us the beauty of Genova!!

Absolutely wonderful experience with Marina! - Sometimes you meet someone you feel you’ve known forever. That was our guide Marina. The tour was excellent and SO much fun! Not only did we enjoy a feast of traditional Genovese foods, but also learned about the history and culture of the region through Marina’s fascinating stories. It came to life. We did the tour on Day 1 of our trip and that was a good thing. Now we know!! Many thanks to Marina!

I would recommend this... - I would recommend this tour and this tour guide BUT I would also caution that the tour guide lost sight of us and kept moving and actually sent other people back to find us. My husband was injured and had she just taken the time to make sure we were all together it would have been fine. Every tour guide counts heads!

Not so good. - I really didn't like this class and I didn't like the food that we some how managed to prep. I think we were both sceptic and not so sure that we were taught the traditional way. Probably they think that Londoners don't know anything about food.
