Great Walking Tour - Wonderful walking tour of Old Town, newer town, the harbor, Royal streets and other great highlights. We started where Christopher Colombos lived and saw the first international bank established in Europe. The tour guide was charming and we finished with homemade Genova style pesto, focaccia, cheese and 3 very nice local wines. Highly recommend!

Lovely experience! - The experience was really nice! Very friendly local showing you around and sharing an experience in their local shop. It’s great to see a city from a locals eyes perspective and their shop only sells local products. It felt very special to have this tour by myself and we experienced also the local delicacy affogato on our way which was another level of tastefulness. I loved it and would recommend to everyone to take part on this experience!
