Small private tour is the way to go! - Simo(na) was an excellent guide. She had so much history to impart and allowed us to proceed at our own pace. The weather was very hot and she made the best of it. Santa Margherita and Portofino are true treasures of Italy!

Well worth the time and the money to see this beautiful part of Italy. - Excellent tour by Guilia. She is extremely knowledgeable of both Santa Margherita and Portofino, and showed us many things we would have missed on our own. Starting the tour in Santa Margherita Ligure and then taking the ferry to Portofino and was a very smart recommendation as there are too many people and very little parking in Portofino. We have done many Viator tours over the years, and this was one of the best private tour experiences we have had. Make sure Guilia is your guide. She is the best!

Charming Cities by the Sea - There is an exquisite charm to both Portofino and Santa Margherita. Even though the streets are busy with tourists, the crowds don't disrupt the enchantment of these beautiful cities by the sea. Our guide, Rosaleen, was so helpful with information, suggestions, and recommendations of how to make our journey even more interesting and memorable. We will never forget these two amazing towns.

Unmissable excursion - We had a great time. The Guide very friendly and continuously telling us stories. We stopped in Santa Margarita, where we stayed for a while before catching the ferry to Portofino. When we arrived in Portofino we had time to walk around the town and take 1000 photos, it is a spectacular place for anyone who likes photography. Of course, we ordered 4 ice cream cucurucho, and we were charged 32€. It's an expensive place.

Overpriced for what’s included - This was our last of four excursions we booked through Viator and frankly it didn’t live up to the rest. Our guide was excellent so it was not her fault at all. But many places had already closed for the season, which we were not expecting, and honestly it felt like we just kept walking around to kill time. The price was extremely high and the value just wasn’t there on this one
