Two hours, one guide, and a route threaded through Genoa's old town from Porta Soprana to a wine bar on Via degli Orefici. That is the shape of this walk. You meet beneath the arches of Porta Soprana, near the Christopher Columbus house, and set off through the historic centre with a group capped at 10 people. Along the way the stops mix sightseeing with eating: the cathedral of San Lorenzo, the Palazzo Ducale, an old gastronomia, a fried-seafood shop, a pesto specialist, and a final wine bar where the tour wraps up.
The food is the point of the whole thing. Expect deep-fried seafood, warm focaccia, fresh pesto, two local wines, and a semi-frozen creamy dessert called panera. Guides talk about the city's history between bites, so you get stories and tastes in roughly equal measure. One reviewer described the tour as like a friend showing you around the city.
It works as a short introduction to Genoese food and the old town in a single outing. Minors can join, but anyone under 18 gets non-alcoholic drinks instead of wine. Note that it is a walking tour, not a seated meal, and it is not wheelchair accessible. One reviewer advised against eating a big lunch beforehand, to leave room for the food and wine.
Here is what to know before booking.
Common issues. The wine tasting drew the most mixed comments: a few reviewers found the wines unremarkable or felt the final venue did not prioritise the group. The listing cannot always accommodate dietary restrictions, and the tour is not wheelchair accessible, with museum and landmark entrance tickets excluded. One reviewer described a late, confusing start at the meeting point. Cancellation is free only up to 24 hours before the start time, and the operator can cancel for weather or low numbers, in which case a different date or a full refund is offered.
A 2-hour guided walking tour with stories and history, local food tastings from seafood to focaccia, a typical semi-frozen panera dessert, and two local wines. Alcoholic drinks are served only to travellers aged 18 and over; younger participants get non-alcoholic drinks.
No. Entrance to museums and landmarks with paid tickets is excluded, and the sightseeing stops such as the Palazzo Ducale and Columbus House are outside visits only. The food and wine tastings listed above are part of the tour.

Wear comfortable walking shoes for the old town route. Booking confirmation arrives at the time of booking. The start point is a specific spot beneath the Porta Soprana arches, so allow time to find it.
