Itinerary
We'll walk on the dock in front of the Royal Palace. Here the guests of the Mansion could embark directly, using a direct covered walkway, replaced with the modern highway
Lodging of the Crusaders in the Middle Ages, the building was meant for the hospitality and assistance to the pilgrims, and the departure for the ships to the Holy Land
This typical little square was one of the public wash houses used until the early XX century. The district has been recently renewed, and now is pleasant public space in the old town
In the Old Town there are plenty of elegant private residences that, when needed, were used since the 14th century for the hospitality of the illustrious guests of the Republic and for the clients of the Genoese bankers. In 2006, 42 of these mansions have been declared UNESCO Heritage.
Geometrical centre and heart of the city, the lively Piazza is a concentration of important institutions, such as the Ducal Palace, the Opera House, the New Stock Exchange, and the seat of the local government, the Regione Liguria
The Medieval cathedral dominates with its striped facade the lively district. Its richly frescoed interior houses the relics of the protector of Genova, St. John the Baptist
Masterpiece of the baroque architecture, this church is a triumph of gold and marbles, and contains amazing works of art, including two paintings by P.P. Rubens
The seafront of Genova has been entirely renewed for the 1992 celebrations dedicated a C. Columbus. With the opening of the Aquarium it has become the iconic district There are plenty of amusements, such as the Bigo (a panoramic lift), the Aquarium, the Wheel, etc.
No doubt this museum is one of the most interesting in town, so strictly connected with its deepest nature; a section is dedicated to Christopher Columbus, while the upper floor is entirely dedicated to the Emigration that has featured Italy in the past two centuries, and to the Immigration that features the whole continent in these days

Our guide was excellent!!! She gave us lots of information and was fun to be with. I would highly recommend this tour to see the old part of town.
We kicked off our visit with Antonella’s walking tour. She was engaging and welcoming for our group of three. On this cold and sunny day we toured the streets of the old city, walked Le Strade Nuove and the Palazzi dei Rolli, the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the Piazz De Ferrari, and the Arco Della Vittoria, a monument to fallen Genovese soldiers in WWI. She shared her passion for Genova including its history, and where to get some yummy food and espresso.
I highly recommend this tour and Antonella as a guide. We were visiting Genoa as part of our cruise and we wanted to find out more about this city. Antonella was waiting for us at the cruise terminal and then escorted us around Genoa. The tour itself was very interesting and the four of us had a wonderful day. Antonella is a very knowledgeable and experienced guide. She is also very engaging and was happy to answer any questions we had. Don’t hesitate to book this tour. You will have a great day.
We had a wonderful tour of Genoa. We learned so much about the city and its rich history. Our tour guide Antonella was wonderful, she knew so much about the city and was the perfect guide.
Great Tour! She took us through the city center and showed us places we wouldnt have known about on our own. It was just our group so it felt very personalized and like talking to a friend. Definitively worth the money
She was right on time and did a great job explaining the history of Genoa. She gave us an awesome tour and we'd highly recommend her.
We were on the MSC Cruise Ship and wanted to have our own knowledgeable Genova’s city tour out of what the cruise on aboard offer. We decided to contact TripAdvisor. Making reservation and meeting Antonella our tour guide outside of Genova’s Port Terminal was easy and very convenient. Antonella is more than a nice and knowledgeable person. She is also passionate and lovely lady, she took us around the city and explained history clearly, she also was very patient with our group and most important with my mature parents-in-laws. She made us feel like she was one of us, part of our family group. This tour is highly recommended for those that enjoy and love history and like to be around genuine, lovely and knowledgeable person. Thank you and hope you enjoy and learn as much as we did.
