Overview

We will take you to the oldest part of the historic center and walk through an unconventional itinerary: there is much to see in Genoa, but you must be willing to observe every detail because the beauty of the old city is more easily revealed to those who are determined to discover it. We will take you to the most fascinating spots of the city, which you will hardly find alone and we will make you travel through time by telling stories accompanied by the sound of a small guitar.

An Unforgettable Day in Genoa!

Published on Jul, 2024

For anyone considering a visit to Genoa, I cannot recommend Alessandro's tour highly enough. It's a unique and enriching way to explore the city, combining the power of music with the beauty of Genoa's historic sites. I visited the beautiful city of Genoa for a two-week law fellowship where I had the incredible opportunity to join Alessandro's tour, and it turned out to be the highlight of my stay. Alessandro's ability to tell the city's stories through his songs was truly impressive, and it made the tour an unforgettable experience. Each stop on the tour was paired with Alessandro's beautiful music, which not only entertained but also educated us about Genoa's rich history and vibrant culture. His songs added a unique dimension to the tour, transforming ordinary sightseeing into a journey through time. The sites we visited were breathtaking, and Alessandro's engaging storytelling made each one come alive with historical significance. I was so enamored with the city and the tour that after my fellowship ended, I met my mom in London and convinced her to come back to Genoa with me where together we experienced Alessandro's tour. Spending the day on the tour with my mom was incredibly special, and we both loved how Alessandro's music and stories enriched our understanding appreciation of the city. It was, without a doubt, one of our favorite days in Europe. This tour will leave you with unforgettable memories and a deeper connection to this amazing city!

Unique and Wonderful!

Alessandro was Absolutely Amazing!! This tour did not disappoint! I was so excited to experience a tour of the city that was off the beaten path! There is so much hidden treasure in all the little nooks and crannies that you can not, and will not find on your own. It was so awesome to hear the history of this brilliantly historical town. I really felt like I traveled back in time, as Alessandro so colorfully painted the picture of what took place back in the day...and his beautiful, and personally written, songs was the delicious cherry on top! I Loved this tour! I highly, highly recommend it to everyone! Ciao!

Best part of our Genova visit.

The 3 hours walking experience with the guide, Allessandro, explaining and singing about the history and remarkable things happened and happening in Genua was a highlight when visiting this ancient seashore city. Did you know the model for The Primavera painting of Boticceli was a Genova born girl. We know now where she lived.

An enjoyable way to discover Genoa

Published on Oct, 2023

We thoroughly enjoyed Allesandro’s tour of Genoa in the old part of the city. We learned so much about Genoa’s past through his stories and songs, what a great way to learn and explore Genoa. The alleys and little corners he took us were accompanied by entertaining anecdotes and historical tidbits. Quite a walk, prepare for at least 3 hours of walking.
