Great Tour with a Local.
We took the Private Walking Tour September 23rd 2026. Our guide Giulio met us on time at the meeting point. He showed us in three hours the most important attractions and landmarks of the old town and Downtown Genoa. The Tour was well planed and gave us all the information needed as well as some ideas what to explore by ourself. He was well informed, very friendly and flexible to our wishes which made the tour very enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour.

You'll learn it all, and have fun
We had a great 3 hr tour with Gorgio, who was a wealth of knowledge, full of energy and gave us exactly what we wanted. As first timers, he gave us a thorough background, deep details, and a bunch of tips. He was very cheery and good natured. As an ambassador of the city, he made us feel most welcome and glad that we chose him.

Fabulous Andrew Guide
Andrew was a great guide. His command of English made the tour so easy to follow and of course his historical and geographical knowledge is excellent. He has a great sense of humour to compliment everything else. The tour was at a gentle pace with plenty of opportunity to consider and pose questions. Genoa is a fascinating city and the tour gave us a good introduction and helpful advice to be able to further explore on our own. Thank you again Andrew.

Genoa : Private Custom Walking Tour With A Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Genoa.
How much does Genoa : Private Custom Walking Tour With A Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 Genoa : Private Custom Walking Tour With A Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Genoa : Private Custom Walking Tour With A Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 65 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 Genoa : Private Custom Walking Tour With A Local Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Genoa : Private Custom Walking Tour With A Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Genoa : Private Custom Walking Tour With A Local Guide?
+
Around 23 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Genoa : Private Custom Walking Tour With A Local Guide start and how do I get there?

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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
