We had the best day!... - We had the best day! Fulvio was a wonderful guide who showed us around some amazing historical sites and told us a lot of interesting information. The food was incredible. I am coeliac so Fulvio spoke to each vendor to check for my dietary requirements and find me an alternative. He was incredibly helpful and created such a fun environment. I would 100% recommend this tour as a great way to see the city and try some amazing food and wine!

Food and wine tour - Lorenzo was amazing, friendly, and outgoing! The different little street foods were amazing to try! I never have like seafood and I loved the fried calamari and shrimp!! Definitely would book a different tour with Lorenzo if I had the chance!

Wonderful tour - This tour really was wonderful. We had just arrived into Genoa. This tour gave us a glimpse of the old town and all of the food and wine samples were delicious.

Delicious and Fun! - The food was amazing! We were stuffed at the end. But the added history and walking around the city with someone what happened there or what is important about it or just a funny story really made it worthwhile.

Food & wine Genoa - My Guide & food was good overall. The variety of pesto and at some shops was lacking, so would have been excellent if they were added. Another interesting addition would have been to compare the quality of the foods e.g., Focacia with other shops in terms of ranking, for context. Guide also went out of her way to introduce me to Spianata di Castelletto which was a treat!

Local flavor - Lorenzo was a local and very knowledgeable with all of the back alleys and secret gems. The food was excellent and was a good spectrum of the local cuisine. The wine tasting was nice, but actually only two glasses (one red, one white) at the very end of the tour. All in all though it was a very nice tour.

Good food places once we found the meeting point. - This tour could have been much better by having the tour guide get everyone at the port and walk them to the piazza area (less than a mile walk). Our group and another family were on this tour and taxis over charged us ($25) to take us less than a mile. It was very confusing where we were supposed to meet the tour guide and tour was almost 45 minutes late as we were all lost. The tour guide should have had a large sign with the name of the tour. Needless to say, the group was frustrated by the time we started. The tour guide herself was nice and she took us to some good places for tastings and taught us about the food. The seafood place and the gelato place was our favorite. I think we all would have rather walked off the ship at the port and explored the area ourselves. I would only recommend this tour if they had the guide meet you at the Genoa port.

Tour guide did not show up for tour - We arrived at the meeting point and the guide was never there. Attempted to contact the tour operator and the person we reached said he was no longer with the company. The link provided is no longer active. Still attempting to receive a refund from TripAdvisor.
