Lorenzo is knowledgeable... - Lorenzo is knowledgeable and passionate about his city which made it enjoyable. He showed us historical places that we would’ve missed if we were on our own. Keep in mind that this was more of a street food tour. The different wines at the end were very good. Thanks Lorenzo!

Amazing tour and food! - This was our first day in Genova and the tour was a great way to give us some history of the city and get to know its food. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable and was always willing to answer any questions. We tried several local foods and all were from the best vendors along with a white and a red wine. We left quite full and excited to explore more of the city tomorrow. We definitely recommend this tour and a huge thank you to Lorenzo!
