What people are saying about Genoa Cathedral

We visited the Genoa Aquarium on the morning of September 3rd. We had also booked tickets for the Hop-on Hop-off tour in the afternoon. He literally saved us, given the strong storm that otherwise would have blocked us for about 2 hours. On the other hand, on board the red bus we wandered around in the dry streets of Genoa, listening to historical notes and curiosities through earphones. Clearly Genoa is also famous for its carruggi, the Rolli palaces and its views, but getting off the bus at the recommended stops you can see a lot ... and then you go back up. The ticket lasts all day, but can also be purchased for 48 hours. Where it is present I always use this service

einfach und unkompliziert

Find out where the stations are located, before you start. Overall a great tour saw a lot of Genoa in an hour. Was a gloomy day so did the tour twice once at the top of the bus and once in the bottom.

Get Your Guide is an excellent way to discover a city. The audio guide commentary is very interesting.

Everything fine, easy to find, very good explanations, great service.

So happy we found this pass, would totally recommend.
