Great night on our first night in Genova. Thomas met us at our hotel and walked with us to the city center, sharing history, key historic locations, and stories along the way. The food stops were great, authentic, and clearly part of the community. (It's November, but no tourists were to be found on our stops!) Places were so small they'd have been unable to accommodate larger food tours. Thomas also took the time to tailor our tour to our interests. Finally, when Thomas says he grew up in Genova- he means it! Right in old town- we ran into at least 4 of his friends, including his barber. We had a great first night in Genova - book a tour with Thomas!Awesome time!

Thank heavens I booked this experience! We all had a marvelous time on this good tour of Genova. Nefset was charming, knowledgeable, humorous and very dedicated to showing us all her beautiful cities most amazing sites. The wine she choose was delicious and each restaurant was unique and in it’s own special area of the city. She also tried-and succeeded-in making this tour individual to our family. My granddaughter listed it as a highlight of her vacation in Italy. She went above and beyond any tour guide I’ve ever had. The experience was worth three times what so paid. Highly recommend.Amazing Nefset

When a tour is titled “The 10 Tastings of Portofino” and the only exclusion listed is “entrance to attractions” but it does not include the tastings…something is very wrong and falsely advertised. Our party of 8 thought we would be in Portofino, but we took a bus to Santa Margarita and then a train to Camogli. After some walking around, we arrived at the focaccia store, and it was there we learned that our food was not part of the roughly $600 our group had paid. Nefset did relent and buy our focaccia bread and gelato, but any other food we wanted to taste was on us. Considering I hyped up this tour for our 6 new cruise friends, this was pretty disappointing to say the least. What was even more frustrating was that Nefset did not respect our desire to take a train back at 3:30 instead of 4:00. It took all of us telling her that we weren’t comfortable cutting the time that close to the last tender boat back to our ship. As it was, the 3:30 train was 7 minutes late, and our tender boat with all 8 of us on it arrived at our ship only 10 minutes before the deadline. I wish that I could attach a photo of our tour description to this review so that everyone can see how we did not receive what we signed up to enjoy.Tasting Tour Without Food?

Nefset orchestrated a beautiful boat journey along the Portofino and Camogli Italian coast for my wife and I. We stopped along the way to enjoy the beach and most importantly the very best of local cuisine. It was a first class experience that exceeded our expectations. Her extra travel assistance and special photographs captured will last us a lifetime. Nefset is the Best! 😁An Amazing Local Experience with Nefset

We loved spending the day with Nefset. We enjoyed hidden gems of Genoa, walked gardens and castles, enjoyed espresso, wine, appertivo, focaccia, pesto, gelato, and more. She finished the day taking us to a grocery store to point out some things to take home. Nefset started as our guide, but we parted as friends.Amazing Genuine Experience

Nefset was wonderful. She asked what we were looking for in our tour and went beyond to make our day enjoyable. She was a perfect guide pointing out the high points of Genoa as well as the authentic foods. Her choices were excellent. Her pleasant personality and her knowledge of English only enhanced our experience. Nefset

Nefset was easy-going and shared her love for her adopted city. Her approach is not as the history and art teacher spouting details that can never be remembered, but as one who lives and beathes the local life. It made us feel very comfortable during our short stay.Feeling at home in Genoa!

Thomas is a born and raised Genoan who loves his city and his tour exemplifies that affection and extensive knowledge of its history. We had a delightful walk around the interesting nooks and crannies of the city as well a stop for two "must eats" of Genoa. Thomas followed up with a list of 'not too miss' museums and restaurants for us. Great tour and afternoon with Thomas

We (a group of four friends) had Thomas show us around Genova for three hours. Some of us were new to the town, others hadn't been there for some years. The first impression you get of Thomas during the tour is that he is a true Genovese. He knows Genova's history and is up on its current events. He clearly also enjoys sharing his insights and experiences. Trying to navigate the hilly streets efficiently without a native on hand is a challenge, given that the topography includes streets, cable cars and elevators. Thomas not only steered us to the tourist attractions, but also introduced us to the neighborhood he grew up in. Thomas was flexible in adjusting the tour to our preferences and generous with his time. We definitely recommend having him show you around this beautiful city. Oh, and his restaurant recommendations are also good!A pleasant afterenoon walk

Thomas is one of the best guides we've ever had in our travels around the world. He is smart, knowledgeable, and really proud of his city. He also has that special quality of putting history in context and sharing anecdotes from his experiences in his own travels that allow for interesting dialog. He is very baked into his heritage and shares the backstories of Genoa in an interesting and heartwarming way. Thank you for a wonderful few hours, Thomas. That gelato was super too.Superb Guide in Genoa

We kregen een geheel op maat gemaakte rondleiding. Thomas was super flexibel en dacht in alles mee. Hij kon veel vertellen over de geschiedenis van Genua en Italië, liet ons de smaken van Genua proeven en nam ons mee naar een mooie plek om te lunchen. We zouden het iedereen aanraden om een tour bij hem te boeken!Historische en culinaire rondleiding

We had a most wonderful day out with Nefset. She was warm, friendly and a wonderful guide. She was knowledgeable and shared so much information with us. We were a group with a toddler in a pram as well as grandparents and were able to take the tour at our own pace. Nefset also was a great communicator in the lead up to the tour and after. Would highly recommend.Perfect day out

Nefset was friendly and eager to please. However, it would have more enjoyable if she made more of an effort to speak to all four of us instead of just the person walking next to her. She also could have been more proactive in sharing the history of Genoa instead of us having to ask questions.Wlaking tour of Genoa

We had a blast. Nefset was extremely knowledgeable, energetic, and easygoing. She was able to change the tour without any notice and customize it to our desire to experience Genoa like a local. She easily navigated the streets, recommended local places to eat, and took us to a fabulous leather and clothing store - where we purchased leather bags and spent time talking to the most welcoming owners. We would highly recommend Nefset. It was truly a highlight of the trip and the chance to make a new friend. . Experienced Genoa like a locsl
