Knowledgeable and interesting - Very good and patient guide who made some changes when our 5-year old wasn’t too fond of the food at one of the stops. Much appreciated!

Wonderful time with Lorenzo who gave a good introduction to the city and its history. - Good amount of food, gelato and wine. Not overwhelming. I like the guide to the city history and a frank story by its local.

Relaxing taste sensation - My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed being lead around some of Genova's special food and wine spots by the warm and hospitable Lorenzo. There was just enough recorded and anecdotal history to leave us feeling a little more educated about the superb city. The tasting experience exceeded our expectations. The generous portions and variety of foods were followed by an intimate wine tasting that complemented the time spent among great company. We were welcomed at every turn by the locals who clearly share close ties with Lorenzo and Genova.

BEST TOUR GUIDE OF GENOVA - Lorenzo was fantastic. From the moment I booked he got in touch and ensured I was kept up to date even though it was a few weeks in advance. ZERO complaints and would highly recommend. We received an amazing food tour and city tour at a great steady pace. Lorenzo didn’t care about the money or how much he could make off tourists but truly cared about the experiences. I don’t ever write reviews but this is the minimum I could do for him. Thanks again Lorenzo 🙏

Great Food Tour - Lorenzo was our tour guide and he took us to some of the best places in Genova. He was very knowledgeable and was very easy to talk to. We felt that the places that he took us really did cater to the locals and they were so good that we kept on going back to them. We highly recommend doing this food tour to get to know the city's food culture.
