This two-hour walk starts outside Casa di Cristoforo Colombo and works its way through the historic center with a guide who stops at bakeries, restaurants and a bar along the way. Between the food you get short guided pauses at the Doge's Palace, the cathedral and Palazzo San Giorgio, so the city's maritime and trading past gets covered in bite-sized pieces rather than one long history lecture. The route ends back where it began.
The eating is the spine of it: five traditional dishes per person, from pesto alla genovese and focaccia to farinata and a local dessert, plus two local wines. The menu can be adjusted for vegetarians, vegans, intolerances or family needs, which the operator flags clearly. Tours run in English, Italian and Spanish.
It suits travellers who want an introduction to Genoese food with some context attached. The review summary describes knowledgeable, personable guides and flavorful tastings that showcase Genoa's staples. One couple liked a pesto and a focaccia stop enough to return on their own the next day. There is no hotel pickup, so you make your own way to the meeting point.
