Wonderful experience even with children . - This was a very intimate, fun, and historical look at Genoa through the eyes of a local. A well paced and enjoyable experience with lots of surprises along the way. As a tour guide myself in Bruges. I can highly recommend this experience.

Food tour in Genoa - Lorenzo was our guide. He was excellent. He took us to many places we would never have found on our own. He was very knowledgeable about the sites. The food was a bonus

Decent tour, but no pizza - Tour was good, confused why there's a picture of pizza when you don't actually eat any pizza...we had fish instead, which is fine, but we would have liked to eat Italian pizza, which we assumed was part of it since its the main picture for the tour. Tour guide was great, nice guy. But keep in mind if you're looking for pizza, this isn’t the tour. Also, we had wine in the back storage area of a souvenir shop, not a restaurant, which was a bit odd. They also pressure you for reviews on the spot.
