Description
Discover Genoa through the eyes of a local, from grand palaces and lively piazzas to hidden alleyways and the historic waterfront, on a private experience tailored to your interests.
Genoa has always looked towards the sea, growing into one of Europe's great maritime republics, where wealth and influence shaped magnificent palaces, elegant piazzas, and a historic port that connected the city to the wider world. Yet beyond its grand façades lies another side of Genoa, where a maze of medieval alleyways, hidden courtyards, and quiet squares reveals a city that has preserved its authentic character for centuries.
Before you meet, you'll receive a short Personalization Form so we can tailor the experience to your interests and pair you with a licensed local guide. The true luxury is having their expertise and undivided attention, with the flexibility to explore at your own pace and focus on what interests you most.
Depending on your interests and chosen duration, you might admire Piazza De Ferrari, stroll along the elegant Via Garibaldi, explore the magnificent Palazzi dei Rolli, or wander through the Caruggi, where narrow medieval lanes lead to hidden squares, artisan workshops, and centuries-old churches. Along the waterfront, discover how Genoa's maritime heritage continues to shape everyday life, while your host shares the stories, traditions, and local insights that reveal the city's distinctive character.
