We had a great time with Marina, learning about the food and history of Genoa. First rate--highly recommend her.

steve_h

Marina was a fabulous host/guide who was very knowledgeable and foods. We had the best cone of fried foods and focaccia at the market, then went to a couple sit down restaurants where we tried 3 different delicious pasta dishes, then focaccias with different toppings in an old cistern restaurant. Then gelato and a chocolate shop. She was very helpful with the history of Genoa also.

Our tour host, Marina, was amazing. The Street food stops were all authentic Genovese and delicious. Marina, herself, was the highlight of the tour because she made the city’s history relatable. I highly recommend this tour.

Marina’s personality made the walking food tour exceptional. The history of Genoa was amazing to learn. Wish we could take her with us for the rest of our trip. The food was a real treat but Marina was the highlight.

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. Valentia was a great guide and a joy to be with. We liked tasting and learning about the local food scene and the tour met and exceeded our expectations. Perhaps my favorite stop was when we visited and sampled three different pastas and sauces at restaurant Il Tondin. We highly recommend the tour and encourage others to give it a try!

Our tour guide Beatrice, a local Genovian, made our tour extra special. The group was small, and our walk through old-town felt like being with a family member. The food included seafood, pasta, focaccia, and gelato was excellent.

Valentina was a fantastic guide, the food tastings were plentiful and varied and I loved that we visited small out of the way cafes and restaurants. We had a fun time and Valentina was very knowledgeable about the city of Genova and its history.

We were a family of 4 on this tour. Marina is an amazing tour guide, not only extremely knowledgeable about the food, but also the area and history. The food we had was from some hidden spots we would never have found ourselves. It was authentic and always really good. The pasta and Gelato was the best we have ever tasted. I see why this tour has such high reviews!

Learnt a lot, ate a lot - what more does an evening need?? Marina is great - so much knowledge, so much passion. And the food - wow. We loved everything. The walk was well paced, the food well chosen. Would recommend in a heartbeat!
