Small private tour is the way to go!

Published on Aug, 2024

Simo(na) was an excellent guide. She had so much history to impart and allowed us to proceed at our own pace. The weather was very hot and she made the best of it. Santa Margherita and Portofino are true treasures of Italy!

Best guide ever!

My guide Alessandra was amazing!! I was on a solo trip and it was as if I was with a longtime friend. She was fun, knowledgeable and just an overall great person. Highly recommend!!

Well worth the time and the money to see this beautiful part of Italy.

Excellent tour by Guilia. She is extremely knowledgeable of both Santa Margherita and Portofino, and showed us many things we would have missed on our own. Starting the tour in Santa Margherita Ligure and then taking the ferry to Portofino and was a very smart recommendation as there are too many people and very little parking in Portofino. We have done many Viator tours over the years, and this was one of the best private tour experiences we have had. Make sure Guilia is your guide. She is the best!
