Best and tastiest tour!

Karl is a delightful guide, a treasure trove of Genoa's history, and THE person to lead you around the city!
He shared centuries of history, gave us tours around and through many places we could not have accessed on our own, and treated us to some true culinary delights! Sidling up to focaccerias, cafes, museums, etc, Karl is your clearly well-known and well-loved fast pass to all of the things that make Genoa delightful.
Lots to see in Genoa

We really learned a lot and saw things we never would have seen had we not taken this tour. Karl was wonderful. So knowledgeable and entertaining. Good food, hidden gems in the heart of the city. It was very hot, but that’s summer in Italy!
Outstanding

Karl is an outstanding tour guide. I looked through a lot of tours for this part of our trip because we have been to Genoa several times. The thing that made me chose this tour had a lot to do with the reviews. Especially their description of Karl. They were spot on. Karl is all you could want in a tour guide. Professional, knowledgeable and he pays attention to every detail.
We adored our tour. I highly recommend him
You won’t forget this tour!

Great way to start a stay in Genova

We loved our tour. We could have wandered around Genova for days to see so many interesting sites. Karl is a high energy guy that loves Genova. He even extended the tour by an hour to show us some extra stuff and give us advice on a self directed tour we could do.
Over all all four of us loved the tour. It is an excellent start to any stay in Genova.
We had a little difficulty finding him in the busy train station. Try to arrive 10 minutes early
My best tour in Europe

Karl was awesome. He was so knowledgeable about the city and took me to so many off the beaten path amazing places. We had a leisurely lunch and saw several beautiful churches. It was my best day in Europe. I enjoyed it so much. Debra
He’s the BEST!

I had a truly wonderful day with Karl, an energetic and knowledgeable guide who is passionate about Genoa. A perfect tour for me, combining history, architecture and food. We stopped for caffè, gelato, vino, and a relaxing lunch. Karl introduced me to farinata, a local street food that is gluten-free, and I could enjoy. We wound our way through the fascinating streets, Karl always eager to explain another fact. He pointed out features of buildings I never would have noticed, and took me inside some palazzi and churches to see their incredible opulence. He spent extra time with me and was a most accommodating guide. Truly memorable.

Best tour that I took in my six days in Genova.

Karl knows the history of Genova! We spent a great afternoon, walking narrow streets and alleyways, and viewing the architecture. He took me to a excellent focaccia restaurant, where they served very generous portions. Enjoyed a glass of Prosecco (well 2).
Another benefit of taking this tour, meeting locals and learning about daily life in this city
I can’t recommend this tour, enough.
Enjoy
Great sense of old Genova!

Karl provided my friends and I with a wonderful introduction to Genoa, its food, history , and people. He was informative about Italy and informed about the USA. This was probably one of the best day tours we have taken on our travels.
Response from Host , Oct 2019
Hey good day :-). By far too good review :-). Thank you very much . well if you consider my US knowledge of Baseball welll in that case you might be right but i still have to study so much of your history toget bit of real knowledge. And hopefully i ll find time to study . Guys it has been a wonderful and fun day and thank you so much for your visit to Genoa and see you somewhere in the world or in Sardinia ? See you guys. Again thanks and keep travelling.
Really great day!

The Very BEST Tour

Karl was the most amazing guide! This was by far the best tour we experienced on our vacation. The group consisted of my husband and I, our daughter and another family of 3. We learned so much, saw so much and genuinely enjoyed the entire day. It is a perfect cruise excursion as everything was within walking distance. Genoa is a beautiful city, with rich culture, amazing history and delicious food!
Best Part of Genoa

This tour was the best part of Genoa. It was just me, my boyfriend and Karl. He was sooooo knowledgeable. We learned so many interesting things, saw great architecture and hidden treats of Genova that we would not have found ourselves. It was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip. We wished it had been the first thing we did when we got off the plane. He was never without answers to our many queries, was willing to stay late with us and just have coffee and talk to us more. I honestly cannot recommend this tour enough. Please book it!
Response from Host , Jul 2019
Dear Rebecca you are too nice :-) . it was my pleasure and to talk to you was very interesting as you are one of the smartest brain i met. Your Boyfriend also, and the perfect relaxed athmosphere of Genoa, made the rest :-). Ciao and hope to See next year in Asia or Sardinia.
Thank you so much . K

Karl was our guide and he was great. We had a very informative tour and saw all the sights and had great food. Karl was the bomb and kept going even after the tour hours were done.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
