Informative and beautiful - A very beautiful and informative tour with the amazing Nicoletta! A good amount of walking through lesser populated alleyways. It was great having a table already reserved at the restaurant, by doing the tour. Thank you Nicoletta!

Wonderful! - Our guide Christina communicated with us before we met, she was exactly where she said she would be and we departed onto the ferry swiftly. Even skipping the queue which was not meant to happen! Christina has wonderful knowledge of the host of Santa Margherita and Portifino. The walking tour was lovely, the focaccia we eat was the best I have ever had, so mich so that we went back a day later and bought more. It was so much fun watching my daughter pound the pesto on the waterfront in Portifino. Thanks Christina for a wonderful and memorable experience

More than Pesto! - What a delightful few hours with our tour guide Nicolette! As a long time local, she knowledgeable and clearly knew many people in this village. She had a great sense of humor, and ensured engagement with everyone in our small group. The Pedro class and lunch was a great way to end our time in Portofino and what caught our attention with this tour, but the history we got turned out to be equally as appreciated. Well done!
