Guide Guillermo and driver Andreas were absolutely amazing! He had local connections, had unique knowledge of the area and shared engaging information. We were cruisers with two teenagers and concerned with getting back to the boat. He was considerate with our time and what we wanted to accomplish during our time.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We are delighted to hear that you had an excellent tour of Portofino and St. Margherita. We’re also happy that you enjoyed her dining recommendation. It was a pleasure to be part of your journey, and we hope to welcome you again on another adventure in the future.

We are a large group of 10, two families of 5. Our tour was AMAZING!! Our guide was patient with our group and our teenage girls wanting the typical teenage photo sessions everywhere we went. She made sure to provide them with adequate backdrops for them to do so. While the photo sessions were going on there was ample amounts of history and local information being given to the rest of our group. To say she was amazing is an understatement. Everyone in our group says that this was our BEST day out of the 14 we were in Europe.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that your tour to Portofino and Santa Margherita was the highlight of your 14-day trip through Europe – that truly means a lot to us. It was a pleasure to host your lovely group, and we hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future! Warm regards, The Tour Travel & More Team

We had a fabulous day with Alessio as our guide and Andreo as our driver. Alessio was extremely knowledgeable about the region’s history, was very interesting to converse with and recommended sites which we would not have gone to otherwise. We’d booked our own lunch to celebrate my birthday, and they were very accommodating and worked around our booking. Fabulous day out, thoroughly recommend!

Ana was our guide and Andrea was our driver- they were both absolutely wonderful! Ana taught us SO much and made it a spectacular day. Everything was beautiful, pleasant, & easy because of them.

If you want to experience the Italian coastline and all its gorgeous little towns along the way this is the best way to do it! The van was huge, comfortable and luxurious. Our tour guides were flexible and knowledgeable about everything we saw. One of the best parts was that they met us immediately as we were walking off the ship and personally escorted us to the car. There was no stress or issues trying to find them, even in a busy port!
Thank you for your glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed exploring the stunning Portofino coast in comfort and style. We’re especially glad that the seamless pick-up process added ease to your day and that you had such a wonderful time with the guides and vehicle.
