Excellent tour! We wanted a private tour because we had specific requests about what we wanted to see. Fulvio came through. His tour was fun and thorough. Great introduction to Genoa.

Andrea was excellent! He was very informative and even in the pouring rain he planned stops where we could get out of the rain along the way. I highly recommend this tour!

Full description

Meet your guide in a central location, a popular piazza surrounded by cafes, shops, and cultural landmarks – the ideal spot from which to begin exploring.

Set out on your walking tour, making your way to your first stop, Christopher Columbus' House, and then to Doge's Palace, the former home of the Doges of Genoa. Today, this historical building serves as a museum and a center for cultural events.

Next, see Piazza San Giorgio and Piazza Banchi before heading to the Porta Soprana, the towered gate of Genoa's 12th-century city walls. Continue your tour with a visit to the Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, a must-see attraction when visiting Genoa.

Your experience comes to an end at the Piazza Raffaele de Ferrari, the city's main square and the perfect spot from which to continue exploring on your own.

Fulvio was an excellent guide. On time, very knowledgeable, spoke great English and had a good sense of humour. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hours through Genoa with him. A good pace.
