Genoa Food Tour - My wife and I participated in a Genoa Food tour guided by Alessandro Poggi. It was a great experience not only for the atmosphere of the places we visited but also because of the selection of the dishes to taste authentic Genoa Cuisine.
In addition to the food, Alessandro is a local guide with an amazing knowledge of the city and its history. It was the perfect evening for us.
Alessandro is also totally fluent in Spanish.

Wonderful Evening Walking Dinner Tour of Genoa! - Excellent Tour! We were looking for a food tour that would lead us to some notable/local food establishments, provide some Genoa history, and be reasonable in cost. This tour was ideal. Alessandro was a very good host and took us to many longtime establishments that are frequented by locals but ones that we would not have stumbled upon on our own. I am certain that our group of four enjoyed some of the cities best focaccia(really exceptional), pasta, and gelato(100 percent chocolate!) on this tour. We also stopped for wine and snacks at Genoa’s 100 year old wine shop along the way and tasted some savory baked goods at a unique bakery. We appreciated that Alessandro was able to give this tour in English and Spanish since we accidentally signed up for the Spanish tour but only understand English. Being a local resident and a graduate of the University of Genoa he was able to provide us with interesting historical and cultural facts about the city. We appreciated that it was a smaller tour our evening(6 people) as we were able to enjoy our Spanish speaking tour mates and guide. We all agreed that this was an exceptional tour and would highly recommend it if you are looking for tour with quality local food items and some Genoa history.

MAGICAL AND MEMORABLE FOOD TOUR WITH ALESSANDRO - An INCREDIBLE experience if you want the TRUE food and history tour of Genova from a lovely local man
We were treated to the freshest pasta, both the lightest and full bodied of wines, gelato that made your mouth sigh with gratitude and did I mention the charcuterie board! WOW!!
The tour provided a unique backdrop to the city as you walked around and began to see it through the eyes of the old inhabitants. Alessandros stories were relatable and more interesting as you began to appreciate the buildings and streetscapes for their heritage.
Just as you thought you had enough another vista would open and a new view would be seen through your newly awakened eyes.
This was so much more than just a city tour. Gentle Alessandro transformed Genoa into a movie set for us and transported our small group to another age.

A wonderful way to get to know some local sides of Genoa - The tour is absolutely worth to book. We have seen different places and had a variety of local food. You also learn something about the history of Genoa and with Alessandro we had a great open-minded guide.
Food definitely connects people all over the world.!

Food, wine and hidden gems - What a pleasure it was to spend time with Alessandro. The passion he has for what he does is evident. Walking around the streets of Genoa and finding out about the history, with pit stops for excellent food and a splash of wine along the way.
What better way to spend an evening?
