Excellent way to visit Portofino and the surrounding towns on the coast!

I had another tour to Portofino (small group tour) cancel their tour just 10 days before it was scheduled. All other group tours were sold out, so I looked into private tours and glad I did. I found this tour and it was a highlight of our recent trip to Italy! The driver we had, Claudio, was excellent! He arrived at our hotel 5 minutes before the scheduled time, was very courteous and professional. His English was very good and he was happy to converse and make recommendations and answer questions. He reviewed the itinerary for the day and made recommendations as to how best to experience Portofino, Santa Margherita and Camogli. We started with a visit to Camogli to take advantage of the lack of crowds early in the day, drove to Portofinio to walk around and visit for a few hours then took the ferry to Santa Margherita for lunch and walking around. The visits were excellent and Camogli turned out to be a nice small gem on the coast. Claudio made time during our return to the hotel to show us Boccadasse Beach and Belvedere Castelletto for a great view of the city! Claudio was a great driver, navigating with ease tight spots and always able to find a parking space when needed. He was always on time for when we needed to re-meet to continue our tour This is an excellent way to visit Portofino and the surrounding towns on the coast. Claudio did a great job and made the trip fun and interesting. Highly recommended!!

A lovely day with Michele.

Michele was an excellent guide. He was on time and professional and gave us information and plenty of time for photos. He took us to a lovely place for lunch. He tried to park as close as possible at each stop. Highly recommended.

Not so good

Our driver was not very friendly and hardly spoke English. He did not elaborate on where we were or what was around us. He dropped us at a few points and just told us to be back at a specific time. No suggestions on direction or points of interest. He also was falling asleep while driving back through the tunnels. The excursion also said there would be water and there was none.

Operator response

Good morning, on behalf of our company, we apologize for not being able to provide you with a service that met your expectations. Please contact us through our channels for further explanations. Thank you for your time.

Excellent

We had a wonderful day with Cosimo. The stops were great, the family run restaurant in Santa Margarita was excellent and the extra tour in Genoa was outstanding. Cosimo was very helpful in accommodating my extra mobility needs too. Highly recommend.

Perfect private tour.

Perfect private tour! We visited from the cruise terminal of Genoa Portofino, Camogli, and Santa Margherita. The drive takes about 30-40 minutes to get to Portofino. On site we have time to visit. This is the best way to visit these sites during a cruise stop. The driver was extremely kind and kind. The top! I would recommend Enrico Limousine. Communication and service at the top!

Driver only not a tour guide.

This is not a guided tour by the definition of guided tour. It’s simply a car & a driver who move you between places without much information about the area you’re seeing. The places themselves are stunning of course but if I need a private driver I can get it sorted. The driver was decent as driver but surely not qualified as a tour guide.

Great day in a beautiful area

Our small group of 8 had an amazing time visiting Camogli, Santa Margherita, Portofino and Genoa. We were able to set our own schedule and our driver was gracious to take us into Portofino since the ferry from Santa Margherita was not operating that day. In spite of the rainy day, we thoroughly enjoyed the coastal areas and small towns. We even had ample time to see some of Genoa before having to return to our ship. Just keep in mind that this is a driver only so we did not get much info about the places we visited except when we asked.

Operator response

I hope to have you as our guests again in the future, for your vacation or business trips or those of your friends or relatives in our wonderful country.

Beautiful scenery

Scenery was beyond beautiful. Like stepping into a book. Maximo (?) was nice and very courteous. It was dissappointing that he didn’t seem to know much about the areas we traveled to.
