Worth it
Rocco was amazing! We had an amazing time and saw some beautiful sights. Best way to see the coast!
via Tripadvisor
Wondeful boat trip on the ligurian coast.
We went for a private tour of some of the most beautiful villages on the ligurian coast. Rocco provided the intinerary but from the start he was very flexible and accomodating with what we wanted to do and gave us the chance to choose where we wanted to stop and how much time to spend there. I really appreciated that he wanted to have the best experience while on his boat and it was a great one indeed where we explored, had fun and truly enjoyed what that area had to offer. Rocco also helped us with recommendations for activities and restaurants that we appreciated them.

Perfect way to experience...
Perfect way to experience San Fruttuoso, Camogli and Portofino! Arriving by boat with those views and then experiencing on land was perfection. Rocco was amazing - very personable, friendly, helpful in providing a great description of each place and allowing us flexibility with timing for experiencing each area to our liking. The stops were great, bonus seeing the Christ of the Abyss statue too! Overall a fabulous experience and highly recommend!

Brilliant day tour
This was an absolutely brilliant tour to take, from start to finish it was so easy to book, find and our guide Rocco made the whole experience so enjoyable. Rocco was very knowledgeable, informative, helpful and funny !! We had 4 teenagers with us and they all loved it. Would book again without hesitation ! THANK-YOU ROCCO !

Best way to see Portofino and surrounds.
Brilliant day out on the water with plenty of stops to swim and dine and explore. Rocco was fantastic, super helpful and relaxed. We could come and go as we pleased, it wasn’t rushed and we could take our time where we chose.

Daily and Sunset Nightly tour boat from Genoa to Portofino: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Genoa.
How much does Daily and Sunset Nightly tour boat from Genoa to Portofino cost?
+
Prices start at $1,256 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Genoa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Daily and Sunset Nightly tour boat from Genoa to Portofino take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Genoa is not rushed.
Is Daily and Sunset Nightly tour boat from Genoa to Portofino worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Genoa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Daily and Sunset Nightly tour boat from Genoa to Portofino?

Is Daily and Sunset Nightly tour boat from Genoa to Portofino suitable for kids and families?

How far in advance should I book Daily and Sunset Nightly tour boat from Genoa to Portofino?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Genoa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Genoa and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Genoa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Genoa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
