Scenic views of Genoa

Published on Jan, 2025

Great combination of city views and stories of city life. Enjoyed the walks down the cruises and seeing the small gardens. Alexander is a great story teller and pleasant person to be around. Highly recommended!

Not your typical tour

Published on Sep, 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our three hour walking tour of the "creuze," the old hilly passways, back alleys that are found in Genova. Our guide, Alessandro, was excellent. Using both stories and original songs, he gave us a clear historical overview of the city as well as details about its distinctive economic and cultural character We highly recommend this very different way of seeing Genova.

Great tour!

Published on Jul, 2024

We had such a fun time with Alessandro on the tour of Genoa! There are so many interesting tidbits about the city and its history. Alessandro kept the tour at a manageable pace (especially with the heat) and was very kind. His stories put to music were especially fun as well! I’d recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Genoa from a local.

Exploring Old Genoa

Published on May, 2024

It’s like going behind the scenes in Genoa because you are not in the “tourist” area. You go up and down old neighborhoods in the hills - so you see buildings with histories and learn how the neighborhoods changed over time and why. The funicular replaces walking the steepest hills. In May the flowers were blooming everywhere and the weather was perfect for sitting and listening to the stories sung by our guide.

Connecting with the Soul of Genoa

Published on Sep, 2023

This was a really special and memorable experience. Allesandro showed us the soul of Genoa by taking us through the narrow streets that he discovered in the years of living and growing up in the city, and delighted us with stories of history, commerce, and drama - offering a glimpse into the rich culture of the region. Between the beautiful sights, hidden gems, and creative songwriting, we walked away from the tour with a collage of memories, fresh inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for the city. If you do go for this experience, I would recommend following up with your guide for a cooking experience as well - as you will not regret it!
