Great tour - It was our first time in Genoa and we learnt quite a bit about the city from Lorenzo and the food was amazing. Lorenzo was able to accommodate the fact that I was a vegetarian and suggested veg dishes. The wine tasting was wonderful. The only thing we thought was interesting was that we could NOT purchase the red wine that we had tasted. When we expressed interest to buy a bottle, they said that they don't sell that wine (very odd) and another alternate wine (slightly more expensive) was suggested. Other than that, thought the tour was brilliant.

History + Food&Wine - Lorenzo would have deserved 10 stars – so passionate, entertaining and knowledgeable was his leadership! Unfortunately, you can only give 5 stars, but he definitely deserves double. An absolute recommendation for those who love good food and exciting stories!
