Experience the best of
Portofino with Withlocals

"Thomas is a born and raised Genoan who loves his city and his tour exemplifies that affection and extensive knowledge of its history. We had a delightful walk around the interesting nooks and crannies of the city as well a stop for two "must eats" of Genoa. Thomas followed up with a list of 'not too miss' museums and restaurants for us. "

"I wanted to drop a note and a thank you to Thomas, an excellent tour guide in the city of Genoa. We walked through the city and Thomas shared history, culture and his own personal insights. It was really fantastic and I would recommend. He also recommended a lovely place for lunch and the best gelato after. Thank you!"

"Thomas was very knowledgeable and easy going. He was patient and flexible, and answered all our questions. We enjoyed the tour and the city. We wrapped up with a delicate gelato recommendation. He also provided his personal contact information in case we ran into issues using public transportation. He was caring and thoughtful. Thank you!"

"Thomas took us on a trip where he made us feel part of the city, that was our main request. Thomas was knowledgeable, pleasant and generous. Highly recommend Thomas, we had a wonderful time."

"We had a marvelous tour with Thomas, we tried many foods, learnt so much about the cities history and architecture. Thomas was so knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and gave us many tips re good for the remainder of our stay. A very enjoyable afternoon!! Thanks Thomas :)"

"We had a wonderful tour with Nefset, very knowledgeable on all things Genoa. Food tastings were great and the tour through the city was perfect. She is an excellent guide and we highly recommend her. "

"Nefset orchestrated a beautiful boat journey along the Portofino and Camogli Italian coast for my wife and I. We stopped along the way to enjoy the beach and most importantly the very best of local cuisine. It was a first class experience that exceeded our expectations. Her extra travel assistance and special photographs captured will last us a lifetime. Nefset is the Best! 😁"

"We loved spending the day with Nefset. We enjoyed hidden gems of Genoa, walked gardens and castles, enjoyed espresso, wine, appertivo, focaccia, pesto, gelato, and more. She finished the day taking us to a grocery store to point out some things to take home. Nefset started as our guide, but we parted as friends."

"Nefset was wonderful. She asked what we were looking for in our tour and went beyond to make our day enjoyable. She was a perfect guide pointing out the high points of Genoa as well as the authentic foods. Her choices were excellent. Her pleasant personality and her knowledge of English only enhanced our experience. "

"Thomas is one of the best guides we've ever had in our travels around the world. He is smart, knowledgeable, and really proud of his city. He also has that special quality of putting history in context and sharing anecdotes from his experiences in his own travels that allow for interesting dialog. He is very baked into his heritage and shares the backstories of Genoa in an interesting and heartwarming way. Thank you for a wonderful few hours, Thomas. That gelato was super too."
