Meet near the Old Harbor for your 2.5-hour afternoon tour of Genoa. Travel back in time as you follow your informative guide on a casual walk through Genoa’s impressive medieval center, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Wander around a maze of squares and narrow caruggi (typical Italian alleys) in search of Genoa’s beloved local establishments ─ some that have been around for centuries. These shops are intricately tied with Genoa’s history, culture and identity, offering a glimpse of daily life in this thriving Italian city.

Pop into small local food shops, markets, restaurants, bakeries and wine shops, as well as antique pharmacies, bookshops and barbershops. You’ll see where the locals really spend their time, whether it's to shop for groceries, buy their daily bread, get a haircut or simply chat with friends over an espresso or a glass of wine.

Snack on traditional fried foods, like fish, at a traditional friggitoria, and enjoy a final tasting at Le Gramole Olioteca, a popular food shop. Bite into a crunchy pesto crostini, made with local olive oil, and satisfy your sweet tooth with Italian chocolate or pan dolce Genovese, the most famous cake of the Liguria region, made with butter, candied lemon peel and raisins.

Your tour then concludes on Garibaldi Street.
