Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"A fantastic beginning for our visit to Genoa and a highlight to our trip to Liguria. The ten tasting tour was a perfect fit for our group of four. Thomas is an excellent guide to the history and culture of Genoa. We tasted some delicious food for which this area is known from shops that the locals frequented. He has good rapport with the shop keepers. When you’re out with Thomas,you feel like you are a part of Genoa. We walked around admiring the buildings, the harbor and the city from different view points. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him discussing a wide range of topics from food to history to politics to computer programming. He generously extended our tour to make sure we took one of the city elevators that he had used to get to schoolwith a lovely view of the city."
"Thomas's tasting tour in Genoa was a delicious and memorable experience. He guided us through the city’s culinary gems with passion and deep local knowledge. We sampled incredible treats—starting with a creamy caffè con panera, followed by multiple varieties of focaccia, each better than the last. The savory torte were a delightful surprise, showcasing local ingredients and traditions. The highlight was a plate of pasta with vibrant, homemade pesto—simple yet unforgettable. We ended with rich, flavorful gelato that perfectly capped off the tour. Thomas created a warm, engaging atmosphere and offered cultural and historical insights alongside every bite. A must-do for food lovers!"
"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. "
"Conocer a Nefset y ser guiado por ella en Genova y alrededores ha sido experiencia más que gratificante. Acuciosa, fue paciente en descubrir qué persona era yo y cuáles mis intereses, y en ese sentido la visita fue planeada de inmediato. Su conocimiento de la vida genovesa, y de su historia incluida la reciente, hicieron posible una visita a fondo, por los contrastes de una ciudad de luces y de sombras, con su encanto escondido y a la vez a la vista de todos, en el laberíntico espacio físico y del alma de la ciudad y puerto. Recomiendo mucho la guiá de Nefset: sé que cada vez profundizará, y queda uno convidado a regresar en otro viaje y ampliar la experiencia."
"Loved our tour with Thomas. He is passionate about his city and has a wealth of knowledge. We learnt so much that we wouldn't have otherwise known, and ate good food. A lot of it! Definitely recommend Thomas as a guide! "
"Exceptionally knowledgeable of the history and food. Genoa genius. Super kind and thoughtful person."
