We appreciates the history the views and the experience of this tour. Would 10/10 recommend. Thank you Francesca for helping make this trip so special.
Thank you guys, we spent a lovely morning together!!! Hope to see you again in order to tailor some unforgettable tasting tour for your experienced palates! Arrivederci. Francesca
Francesca met us on time in Santa Margherita ferry. She shared all of her local knowledge about the area and history. It was like having a best friend show you around! We walked around Portofino and many points of interest we never would have found on our own! The tunnel with the cold air! She showed us all the best photo places and let us take our time and enjoy the beautiful historical port. We had the most amazing pesto making at a fantastic restaurant! We chose our lunch and finished our homemade pesto. She treated us like family. It was myself and 2 adult daughters. This was the best part of our Italy trip. We booked the 10:00 am tour and upon arriving in Portofino it was not crowded. Book this tour and ask for Francesca. Thank you for a great day.
Dear Dianne, Thank you for your kind review! It was such a pleasure spending the day with you, Kim, and Kellyann. I still smile thinking about your faces when the cool air suddenly came through the secret tunnel—that was such a fun moment! I'm so happy you enjoyed discovering Portofino and sharing the pesto-making experience with me. It was a joy meeting your family, and I hope to see you again someday. Wishing you many more wonderful travels together! Warmly, Francesca
Following our cruise ship's stop, we took an excursion that included a stop in Portofino. This small village is a mini St. Tropez with luxury shops, magnificent villas on the heights, and stunning viewpoints.
Gabriel was so great. This was the best tour of our vacation - he knew all of the locals, and shared so much interesting history. We noticed other people around us listening to him as he clearly knew what he was talking about. I did t realize he would be teaching us the pesto making, that was amazing too. I would do this again for sure!
Hi Scott, thank you very much for your review! Gabriel
Our host was very knowledgeable and communicated her knowledge extremely well. She made us feel more than a visitor to her country. Rather she made us feel like family.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words. Reading that you felt like family rather than visitors truly means the world to us. One of the greatest joys of hosting is sharing not only the history and traditions of our region, but also the warmth and hospitality that are such an important part of Italian culture. We're delighted that this came through during your experience.
We had an amazing experience! We made a day trip from Milan to Portofino for this tour. Our guide is an Italian local who gave us a truly authentic insider's perspective. It was great to see the colorful buildings from the boat, drink espresso, admire the yachts, and learn how to make fresh pesto. It is the perfect way to get a taste of the area, though I recommend staying a few days if you want to explore deeper. The crowds weren't too bad, but we went on a Tuesday outside of peak season. Highly recommend!
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! It was a pleasure meeting you and showing you around Portofino. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the boat ride, the atmosphere, the pesto-making experience, and the chance to discover the area from a local's perspective. One of my favorite parts of guiding is helping visitors experience the region beyond the postcards, so your words truly mean a lot. And I completely agree—while a day trip is a wonderful introduction, spending a few days here allows you to discover even more hidden corners of the Riviera. Thank you again for joining me, and I hope our paths cross again on a future visit to Italy! 🇮🇹😊 Francesca

Do not miss this tour!! Christina was absolutely incredible — so knowledgeable about the history of Liguria and such a warm, engaging personality. It exceeded every expectation and ended with a fun hands-on pesto-making lesson followed by a delicious lunch. Grazie mille ❤️👏🏼🙏

We had an incredible day! Cristina was a wonderful guide. She was friendly, funny and extremely knowledgeable. The food at the restaurant was not only delicious but they were able to accommodate myself and my mother with gluten free pasta and bread. Portofino is beautiful and the pesto making was such a fun activity. I would highly recommend.

It's especially wonderful to hear that the restaurant was able to accommodate your gluten-free needs, so you could both relax and enjoy the meal.

Thank you again for choosing to spend part of your Italian journey with us. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope that the memories of Portofino, great food, and time spent together will stay with you for years to come. Grazie mille!
This has been the highlight of our entire trip. Our guide was outstanding- she waited for us for 45 minutes when we had a delay in getting off the ship. So kind, so knowledgeable and friendly! The pesto class was amazing and a memory we will cherish forever and the dinner we had was the best pasta we’ve had so far- my husband can’t stop talking about it. 100000% book this tour!!!!
Dear Tana, Reading your words truly made our day. We’re so happy to know this experience with Cristina was such a special part of your trip. It means so much to hear that you felt welcomed and cared for, especially after your delay—this is exactly the kind of connection we hope to create with every guest. And knowing that the pesto class and dinner became memories you’ll cherish forever is simply the greatest reward for us. Thank you again for your beautiful recommendation—it was an absolute joy having you with us, and we truly hope our paths cross again one day. With all our gratitude, Experience my Portofino Team
