Karl is amazing. We met him at the train station and somehow he knew who we were as we were walking in. I think Karl views himself as a host in his city and he plays the role effortlessly. We loved the way he told the stories of the city. He interacted amazingly with my teenage sons (Karl plays baseball in Italy). My wife enjoyed the day so much. Karl comes fully prepared. It started to rain and he pulled out coats (we didn't need them). Everything is truly included; I did not pull out my wallet once. Karl was generous and went above and beyond. I will admit that I have a little man crush on Karl; he's cool. It's not cheap but this tour is worth every penny. Best day I can imagine.

We had an amazing walking tour with Karl! He shared so much interesting history about Genoa and tons of fun facts about the city while showing us around. It was particularly nice that the tour was all-inclusive - we stopped for various snacks, drinks, and had a great lunch which was all included in the price. Karl did an amazing job of tailoring the tour to our interests and energy levels and really went above and beyond to ensure it was a great day. Highly, highly recommend! Grazie, Karl!
