Fun time walking & cooking
We had fun today. It begins with 90 minutes of walking in a beautiful area and the market is fun too. Cutest little apartment and kitchen making pesto gnocchi together.

A Tasty Culinary Adventure
My friends and I had such a nice time preparing our meal with Tomaso and his daughter. Their hospitality was top notch and their passion for Genoese cuisine was evident. I have been The quality of the ingredients and the instruction on technique was also excellent. I highly recommend this experience (Ligurian Delights, from focaccia to tiramisu)

Amazing and Delicious!
Attending Claudia's cooking class and market tour was an unforgettable experience! From the bustling local markets where we handpicked the freshest ingredients, to the warm and inviting kitchen where we transformed them into mouthwatering Italian dishes (Pesto and Porcini omelets), every moment was pure magic. Claudia's knowledge and passion for Italian cuisine and for Genoa shine through in every lesson, making the process not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. If you're looking to immerse yourself in genuine Italian culinary culture, look no further. This is a must-do when in Italy!

Why this scores 65

Genoa Walking Tour & Traditional Cooking Class with Wine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Genoa.
How much does Genoa Walking Tour & Traditional Cooking Class with Wine cost?
+
Prices start at $116 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 Walking Tour & Traditional Cooking Class with Wine take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Walking Tour & Traditional Cooking Class with Wine 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 4 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 Walking Tour & Traditional Cooking Class with Wine?
+
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 Walking Tour & Traditional Cooking Class with Wine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Genoa Walking Tour & Traditional Cooking Class with Wine?
+
Around 1 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Genoa Walking Tour & Traditional Cooking Class with Wine start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Genoa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Genoa?
+
On Outty we rank every Genoa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rooftop Cooking Class in Genoa: Pesto, Fresh Pasta & Wine, Genoa Small-Group Food Tour with Full Meal & Local Food Expert, Genoa Food, Wine Tasting & History Walking Tour. 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.
What happens to Genoa Walking Tour & Traditional Cooking Class with Wine if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Genoa. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
