Wonderful day in Genoa
We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hour Highlights and Hidden Gems tour of Genoa. Nefset was able to adjust the tour to suit our requests and ended the afternoon by visiting the sailing ship Amerigo Vespucci which was only in dock for a few days.
Nefset was not only an interesting and informative guide but also excellent company during our tour. We would happily recommend this tour and Nefset.

Great alternative to cruise excursion
We booked a tour with Thomas instead of booking an excursion from our cruise ship. Thomas was engaging and truely loves his city. He gave us great information and even showed us a lunch location that only the locals know about. We would definitely book a tour with Thomas again.

Wonderful - the whole experience
This was our first time using this platform and we were pleasantly surprised how knowledgeable our guide was. Thomas was not only a very pleasant human being but also smart and well read. We learned so much about the city and its history! We also got a glimpse into every day life in Italy. We highly recommend Thomas - it was our pleasure to meet him.

Great tour and afternoon with Thomas
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 walking tour with Thomas
I wanted to drop a note and a thank you to Thomas, an excellent tour guide in the city of Genoa. We walked through the city and Thomas shared history, culture and his own personal insights. It was really fantastic and I would recommend. He also recommended a lovely place for lunch and the best gelato after. Thank you!

Great Guide
Thomas was very knowledgeable and easy going. He was patient and flexible, and answered all our questions. We enjoyed the tour and the city. We wrapped up with a delicate gelato recommendation. He also provided his personal contact information in case we ran into issues using public transportation. He was caring and thoughtful. Thank you!
