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

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

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

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

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
