Six hours in Genoa with a local guide, built around the city's food and its old center. Everything on that list is covered by the ticket, along with all transport used during the tour: trains, buses, lifts and the cable-way, plus entry fees and taxes.
The route mixes the well known with the easy to miss. Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, lined with the 15th-, 16th- and 17th-century palaces the listing highlights, gets an hour, and Spianata Castelletto is a stop of half an hour. The itinerary also includes Museo di Palazzo Reale with entry included, Palazzo Ducale, and the short stretch of Via Pre and the Commenda di Pre. Between the scheduled stops, reviewers say the guide leads the group through back lanes and corners most visitors would never find alone.
It suits travellers who can walk for most of six hours and who want history alongside the eating. The listing asks for moderate physical fitness and warns against booking with back problems. Reviewers also say the guide adjusts pace and depth to the group. Groups run to a maximum of 20 people, with at least 2 required for a booking.
This is a 6-hour walking tour with food at regular intervals, so a little preparation goes a long way.
Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, though pushchairs are fine, and it is not recommended for travellers with back problems. A minimum number of travellers is required, so the operator may cancel if that number is not met, offering a different date or a full refund. The listing also sets a moderate fitness expectation, which matters for a six-hour day on foot.
All focaccia and pesto tastings, all drinks in bars and restaurants, lunch at a restaurant, one aperitivo cocktail, all transport used on the tour including trains, buses, lifts and the cable-way, entry fees and taxes, and the guide. Anything not on that list is not included.
At 10.00 am at Genova Piazza Principe train station, in front of the ticket office in the main hall. Genoa has two main stations, Brignole and Principe, and the meeting point is Principe. The tour ends at the same station.
Children are welcome when accompanied by an adult, and the child rate applies only when sharing with two paying adults. The tour is not wheelchair accessible but is pushchair accessible, and it is not recommended for travellers with back problems. Moderate physical fitness is expected.
The tour lasts 6 hours and covers the old city on foot, with some transport by train, bus, lift and cable-way included. The listing asks for a moderate level of physical fitness.
Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the start are not refunded or accepted, and cut-off times follow local time. If the operator cancels because the minimum traveller number is not met, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
The listing does not specify a packing list, so bring what you would normally carry for a long day of walking and eating. Weather-appropriate clothing is sensible, and note the minimum drinking age of 18 if anyone in your party plans to have the included cocktail or drinks.
