"Having been to Portofino before, adding Santa Margarita to the tour just made it that much better. fantastic driver"

"Great boat ride with an our guide Guglielmo. We appreciate the history lessons coupled with amazing views, and even a swim in San Fruttoso and visit to town of Camogli."

"Thanks to Crissy for an amazing tour, excellent conversation, delicious lunch, and a great day! We truly enjoyed!"

"Our driver was waiting for us at the cruise terminal, and was easily identified. He had communicated with me when and where by text earlier. He was very pleasant and helpful when it came time to book our train tickets for Cinque Terre. He worked with us to develop our plan for the day that would allow us the maximum time to visit the villages and still arrive with plenty of time at the cruise ship. He communicated with us via text to show us a photo of where he was parked to pick us up."

"Definitely Portofino! So beautiful, and we had a wonderful lunch. Fernando, our driver, was very good, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this excursion."

"Great experience. Class is in someone’s home in a Genoa neighborhood. Two types of pasta with two sauces were made and tiramisu. There were four students so lots of hands on experience. The dishes were now our lunch. No room for dinner that night"

"Good overview but wished the hours were longer in the evening. Was daylight until after 7. The app was a good idea but had trouble following and finding the bus location"

"This day on the water touring the Italian Riviera was a highlight of our trip. Fantastic guide and beautiful weather made this very special. Highly recommend."

"We had an amazing afternoon learning how to make pasta and pesto with Alberto! The experience took place on the most beautiful terrace overlooking Genoa. It was very informative learning about where each of the best ingredients come from, and the meal we made was delicious. I would definitely recommend to everyone!"

"Best Way to tour Genoa! Our guide Matt was great and full of useful history! I will be waiting for that promised email with our new Italian Driver's License 🤪. Would recommend 💯!"

"Our day with Karl was fascinating, extensive, fun, and never boring. He gave us the option up front as to what kind of a tour we were interested in, and we said that we wanted to know the story of Genoa, as opposed to just Instagram photos that everyone else has already posted plus shopping. He was so excited and his story telling was colorful and exciting as he escorted us around not only the highlights, but back ways, palaces, and places that we would never even know about on our own. Plus, he knows contacts at many private and beautiful places that let us in just because we were with Karl. (He seems to have friends in important places all over town.) At the end of our day, we really felt like we understood the core of Genoa and it’s history. (Hint: Genoa is still run by a cartel of 24 families that got rich during the middle ages.) Absolutely fascinating!"

"Our guide Gio was excellent. His enthusiasm to share the history of Genoa was refreshing. I have yet to be disappointed with any of my Viator choices. Thank you"

"Had a great time! Very nice and super relaxing, laid back day! Loved the views. He was very kind and accommodating as well :) would recommend anyone who loves the water and beautiful sights on the coast"

"Channeling' my grandmother who was from Ognio, and sharing cooking stories with my granddaughter was wonderful. The education the regarding the ingredients and making of pesto was excellent. Our chef was knowledgeable and we enjoyed all he shared about basil and the ingredients, where the best are sourced, etc. The prep of the pasta and vegetables, the complete use of all parts of the vegetables was informative. And the eating was Awesome! Thank you for an enjoyable time."

"What a wonderful experience! Emanuela and Alessandro were fabulous and we learned a lot about the history of the pastas that we made. It was so nice to make the pasta and pesto in the lovely garden. The box turtles that live there were an added plus. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Genoa."

"Host was very very nice! We’ll prepared. Lovely setting. Friendly and considerate. Simple ingredients turned into a magic sauce."

"Excellent tour, so informative and such a lovely guide. I would recommend this to anyone. One hour was great saw and heard so much. A highlight to being in Genoa. Much better than the hop on hop off bus. More personal. He stopped to let me take photos"

"The walking tour of Genoa was very informative. Santa Margherita and Portofino were very beautiful as well."
