Passionate tour guide, fabulous food - We had a fabulous foodie walking tour with Valentina last night. We were very lucky as we had booked a small group tour but it was just the 3 of us with Valentina so we had a private tour. Valentina was very informative and passionate about the local food and history. The food was delicious and there was so much of it that we were able to take some home in a box. We visited some lovely food places we wouldn't have found if we hadn't done this tour.

Food Tripping thru Genova - Marina was an awesome tour guide-hostess! She was very through on the history & the food we are. The Genova focaccia was amazing. Literally melt in your mouth. In America are focaccia and pizza has a thick crust which I think really takes away from the thin crust. That is the original coming out of general. We wandered the city and saw many of the important historical sites and finished our tour with amazing gelato.! We wanted to go on a hike the next day and I checked with Marina via WhatsApp and she responded quickly with locations that were close to where we were staying and easy to access by train. She included maps and all that was pertinent to our adventure. She really was a delight. Her English is excellent and we would definitely go with her again on the tour. It is more than just food! Pesto is America is so very different than the real authentic pesto of Genova. There is nothing like it.

Did the classic walking tour and we had focaccia, pasta, focaccia with cheese, and gelato. It was tasty but I was hoping for some fish and some more detail on the history of the food culture.
