This great tour will show the essence of Genova, that mean the monumental parts in contrast with the most hidden and mysterious alleys. During the first hour you will discover the Maddalena district, fascinating and made by really little alleys and narrow streets; during the second one the driver will bring you to know also the other half of the historical center, placed on the other side of San Lorenzo Street : The itinerary will include the visit to Porta Soprana, Via Ravecca , Piazza Sarzano, Luzzati Gardens, Stradone Sant'Agostino, Via san Bernardo and culminate with the arrival in the beautiful and inaccessible church of Santi Cosma e Damiano, protectors of surgeons and barbers.
Petrarca has called Genoa "La Superba", we are sure that after the tour you will do it too!

5.00Lenora was our guide, and she is terrific! She is from Genoa and is very knowledgeable and proud of her city. She takes you to places other, bigger tours cannot go. See the historical city and the new city as one. The churches, building facades, and personal palaces are simply remarkable. Her tour was the highlight of our visit to Genoa!
Excellent Tour

5.00Elenora provided a lively and interactive tour of Genoa. We would never have seen so much, so efficiently, so conveniently in any other tour. Maybe the best overview tour (with lots of details told in story fashion) that we have enjoyed throughout a world of travel.
Best Rickshaw driver ever!!

5.00We loved this 2 hour rickshaw tour. Our guide was FERNANDA and she was from Mexico but spoke 5 languages. She was very knowledgeable about history and sites but also stopped at a few extra places we requested. I’m 74 so this allowed me to see the old town without walking uphill and getting lost.

4.00This is the only efficient way to see the finer details of the old city. The rickshaw is the only vehicle capable of passing thru the narrow pathways of the old city. It also gets around the old port efficiently among the pedestrian traffic
