We took the Private Walking Tour September 23rd 2026. Our guide Giulio met us on time at the meeting point. He showed us in three hours the most important attractions and landmarks of the old town and Downtown Genoa. The Tour was well planed and gave us all the information needed as well as some ideas what to explore by ourself. He was well informed, very friendly and flexible to our wishes which made the tour very enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour.
We had a great 3 hr tour with Gorgio, who was a wealth of knowledge, full of energy and gave us exactly what we wanted. As first timers, he gave us a thorough background, deep details, and a bunch of tips. He was very cheery and good natured. As an ambassador of the city, he made us feel most welcome and glad that we chose him.
Andrew was a great guide. His command of English made the tour so easy to follow and of course his historical and geographical knowledge is excellent. He has a great sense of humour to compliment everything else. The tour was at a gentle pace with plenty of opportunity to consider and pose questions. Genoa is a fascinating city and the tour gave us a good introduction and helpful advice to be able to further explore on our own. Thank you again Andrew.
A wonderful tour! Gianfranco was knowledgeable and very kind! We took the tour on our first day in Genoa and it really got us oriented and set us up for our next three days in town.
John was very knowledgeable and spoke good English!
Fulvio was extremely knowledgeable and amended his itinerary instantly and seamlessly after I told him I had already walked his original one. Great work Fulvio!
Giulio is an awesome guide. You can tell that he is passionate about what he does. A lot of walking but it is worth it! He is an encyclopedia of all things Genoa! Wear comfortable shoes and bring lots of water. YOU WON'T REGRET THIS EXCURSION!!
Andrea was terrific. Well paced and knowledgeable on the history of Genoa. The tour was educational and provided in depth information, both past and present.
Andrew is a pleasure. He took us to many of the must see historic spots in Genoa but also the hidden gems that we would have never found on our own. We really appreciated that he took the time to customize our tour to our interests. Fantastic!
We had a lovely morning with Andrea. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Genoa. It was a perfect way to see the city and learn about the history.
