Nice way to discover the city, the alleys of the great old town, the culinary specialties less known to everyone and the flavors of Genoa.

Nice way to discover the city, the alleys of the great old town, the culinary specialties less known to everyone and the flavors of Genoa.
What a wonderful way to explore Genoa. We really enjoyed walking around in our small group listening to Alessandro tell us lots of interesting things about the city and the places we strolled past. The little food stops along the way were traditional and the food was delicious. I doubt we would have found all these places on our own and having a local lead the way was great. It was relaxed and slow paced giving us all time to take it all in and enjoy it. Thank you Alessandro!
This tour was great, we had the opportunity to discover the hearth of Genova in their little streets and tasted the locals' confections, the best focaccia that we had in Italy, the tucco pasta was perfection and there is a little local that has different frittatas, which the Chipola being the crowned one !!! 110% recommend.
Our Guide was very knowledgeable,Alessandro, made it a pleasant experience . Interesting food but could have have been more varied considering the price
My wife and I participated in a Genoa Food tour guided by Alessandro Poggi. It was a great experience not only for the atmosphere of the places we visited but also because of the selection of the dishes to taste authentic Genoa Cuisine. In addition to the food, Alessandro is a local guide with an amazing knowledge of the city and its history. It was the perfect evening for us. Alessandro is also totally fluent in Spanish. Alessandro habla Español perfectamente
Excellent Tour! We were looking for a food tour that would lead us to some notable/local food establishments, provide some Genoa history, and be reasonable in cost. This tour was ideal. Alessandro was a very good host and took us to many longtime establishments that are frequented by locals but ones that we would not have stumbled upon on our own. I am certain that our group of four enjoyed some of the cities best focaccia(really exceptional), pasta, and gelato(100 percent chocolate!) on this tour. We also stopped for wine and snacks at Genoa’s 100 year old wine shop along the way and tasted some savory baked goods at a unique bakery. We appreciated that Alessandro was able to give this tour in English and Spanish since we accidentally signed up for the Spanish tour but only understand English. Being a local resident and a graduate of the University of Genoa he was able to provide us with interesting historical and cultural facts about the city. We appreciated that it was a smaller tour our evening(6 people) as we were able to enjoy our Spanish speaking tour mates and guide. We all agreed that this was an exceptional tour and would highly recommend it if you are looking for tour with quality local food items and some Genoa history.
The food was good en enough. The tour was good , too bad it was in english and spanish, sometimes it felt like we missed some explaniation during walking. But it was a wonderfull experience
An INCREDIBLE experience if you want the TRUE food and history tour of Genova from a lovely local man We were treated to the freshest pasta, both the lightest and full bodied of wines, gelato that made your mouth sigh with gratitude and did I mention the charcuterie board! WOW!! The tour provided a unique backdrop to the city as you walked around and began to see it through the eyes of the old inhabitants. Alessandros stories were relatable and more interesting as you began to appreciate the buildings and streetscapes for their heritage. Just as you thought you had enough another vista would open and a new view would be seen through your newly awakened eyes. This was so much more than just a city tour. Gentle Alessandro transformed Genoa into a movie set for us and transported our small group to another age. Andrew and Sallyanne Smith, Australia
We did a huge food tour with Fabiana. She knows a lot to tell and we had a nice meal in different places. A very nice way to get to know the Genoa.
The tour is absolutely worth to book. We have seen different places and had a variety of local food. You also learn something about the history of Genoa and with Alessandro we had a great open-minded guide. Food definitely connects people all over the world.!
