Two hours in Genoa's historic center, split between eating and walking. The tour, run by GenovaTourMyLand.it, pairs a local guide with five typical dishes, among them focaccia, farinata, pesto, panera and fried fish, plus two Ligurian wines. Dishes are adjusted to dietary needs, so omnivores, vegetarians and vegans can all take part.
The route is as much a part of the experience as the food. You set off from Christopher Columbus' house, pass the Ducale Palace, the Archdiocese complex, and Palazzo di San Giorgio, and finish on Via Garibaldi. Along the way the guide covers Genoa's maritime past and its role in trade, framing each stop with the city's history rather than just pointing at buildings.
Groups are capped at 15, and reviews repeatedly describe the guide as knowledgeable and personable, with several travellers noting the portion sizes left them full. One reviewer called it a great way to start a stay, since the tour gave them the city's history and its food in a single outing. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included.
A few practical points will help you get the most out of the walk.
