Nice tour but too expensive for the experience.

This tour was nice but very overpriced in our opinion. No boat (it’s a ferry ride) since our ship tendered to Portofino and not enough time to use the ferry to go to the other town.
Perfect way to see Portofino!

Loved having Nicoletta to share so much information and history with us as she helped us travel from Santa Margherita to Portofino. It’s a walking tour but not overwhelming as Portofino is very small. Ending with lunch was fabulous, and we made our way back to SML a few hours later after some shopping

We had a lovely day with Francesca. This is great way to learn about Porto Fino first and then have the the afternoon to explore on your own.

A very beautiful and informative tour with the amazing Nicoletta! A good amount of walking through lesser populated alleyways. It was great having a table already reserved at the restaurant, by doing the tour. Thank you Nicoletta!
Sightseeing and a good lunch
