Great food, wine, and guide in a beautiful city! - Lorenzo was an amazing guide!! Extremely good English. He was also very personable and knowledgeable! There was a total of 6, including my husband and I, in this tour. Small tour size made it easy to ask questions and get around the city (I was especially thankful for this when a huge tour group walked by that looked like a cattle line in headsets). Genova is a beautiful city and I highly recommend taking this tour!

Wonderful time - What a great tour guide Lorenzo was. He was so kind and made the tour interesting. The food and wine tasting was just enough the whet the appetite. He was able to accommodate our non-dairy dietary intolerance at each stop including the gelateeia where we had the most delicious chocolate sorbet! The two hours was just enough to give us a quick taste of Genoa so we could further explore on our own after. Thank you Lorenzo!
