  • Piazza San Lorenzo - Looking from outside, you’ll discover the true nature of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and all the stories and curiosities that lie behind it and its facade.
  • Campetto - Nestled in between medieval and baroque palaces, its a hit point for the city centre and its “sestriere” of the Molo.
  • Via Luccoli - One of the most renowned vicoli, you’ll be able to discover the true Genoese nature in one of the most beautiful narrow streets.
  • Via Macelli di Soziglia - Full of botteghes and little old shops, you’ll explore the older side of the vicoli, where botteghe were the central figures of the old city. Vendors, markets, leather shops, and many like them!
  • Via Giuseppe Garibaldi - The “already known as” Strada Nuova, is one of the most acknowledged streets in the whole city. Here you’ll find most of the UNESCO buildings such as Palazzo Rosso and we’ll take you to an unexpected but worth-it venue, outside of the tourist path!

Discovering places I would never have found by myself! - I cannot rate this tour but a solid 5 stars! I must say that this walking tour brought me to places I did not know they existed even if I searched online many many times for highlights in Genoa. We entered a little shop and tried out the typical Panera which was just amazing and tried out the best focaccia in Genoa after days of trying it out in many spots! We walked by the bakery again later on in the day and it was crazy busy, we had the luck of going there at a quiet time and doing the tour in the morning for sure helped a lot! The confectionery shop we entered was just stunning and the little desserts were just delicious and the gallery and palaces we entered brought us back in time like we would have never thought! Even my youngest child was stunned. Taking an elevator, we went to a high spot to look over the city centre. Genoa looked stunning from up there.. Thank you for taking my family and I on this walk. I did not regret it!!
