Great
The genoa was for 1 hour only a 1 walk in the city centre as planned but genoa is a big city could have more than 1 hour The Rapallo is a small town where we spent more time better to reduce the time here and increase in genoa Portofino is a very beautiful and scenic place spent quality time it reminds me of a place in India near pune lavasa which was conceptualized on the basis of this small town from italy The ferry to and fro was average can improve on the quality of the same for tourist it was the general ferry used for regular commute so not much exciting
via Viator
Great trip, but prepare...
Great trip, but prepare for a long day. If I had any suggestions it would be less time in Genoa, little less time at the rest stops and more time in Portofino. But all in all a great trip.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Genova & Portofino: with Mediterranean Boat Cruise from Milan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milan.
How much does Genova & Portofino: with Mediterranean Boat Cruise from Milan cost?
+
Prices start at $153 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Milan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Genova & Portofino: with Mediterranean Boat Cruise from Milan take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Milan is not rushed.
Is Genova & Portofino: with Mediterranean Boat Cruise from Milan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 234 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Milan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Genova & Portofino: with Mediterranean Boat Cruise from Milan?
+
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 Genova & Portofino: with Mediterranean Boat Cruise from Milan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Genova & Portofino: with Mediterranean Boat Cruise from Milan?
+
Around 82 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 Milan 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 Milan and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Genova & Portofino: with Mediterranean Boat Cruise from Milan 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 Milan 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 Milan?
+
On Outty we rank every Milan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gnocchi, Pasta, Tiramisù and Wine Class, Authentic Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class in Milan, Milan's Hidden Gems: Unique Bike Tour (ENG, NL). 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 Milan?
+
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 Milan?
+
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.
