Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Private Transport from Genoa to Portofino Round Trip. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
They canceled on us with less than 12 hours of notice! I had booked and paid in full two months in advance.
I booked my travel two months in advance and paid in full when I booked. The day before we were supposed to have our private driver, the company reached out and said that they were going to have to combine our group of three with a group of four people. This was super upsetting because we paid the premium to have a private driver so that we did not have to share with anyone. We had friends that we had on the ship, and we asked if we could be paired with them because they had also booked the same transport company based off of our recommendation that we gave them while we were on the ship. The company said that they would combine us with their group and we will all be together, but we would each have to be paying the full amount. This was disappointing as we would only have one driver and not be in a private car and the total cost for that vehicle was now double (each family paying for it by the original price $600+$600=$1,200.00). It seemed like they should have given us at least some kind of discount and so we asked if they would be willing to. They said they would not. Then, between 11 PM and midnight the night before we ported for a 9am departure, the company notified us that they had to cancel our reservation entirely and we would have no private transport. They tried to make me feel better by saying that we would be able to get a cab at the cruise port terminal. Thankfully we were able to get a cab the next morning and the cost was half of what we would have spent through this excursion. We did end up saving money in the long run, but I would absolutely not advise anyone to book through this company as they are charging double what they should be, and they canceled with less than 12 hour notice of our excursion.
Response from the operator: We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment caused. Unfortunately, an unexpected last-minute operational issue made it impossible for us to provide the scheduled private transfer. We fully understand how frustrating this must have been, especially after booking and paying well in advance. The alternative arrangements we proposed were intended to avoid leaving you without transportation, but we recognise that they did not meet the expectations of the private service you had booked. When the unexpected issue could not be resolved, we informed you as soon as we received final confirmation and suggested taking a taxi from the cruise terminal only to ensure that you would still be able to reach Portofino. We sincerely apologise for the very short notice and for the stress caused. This was an exceptional and unforeseen situation, and it does not reflect the standard of service we aim to provide.

Relaible service that fits the description perfectly
An excellent experience, that does what is says in the description perfectly. Our courteous and kind driver Fabio met us at the port's door and a comfy and modern air conditioned minivan. The driving was smooth and relaxing. The views on the way were our of this world. At Portofino we were dropped off right at the doorsteps of Portofino, literally a 2 minutes walk from the center and the waterfront. We had plenty of time to walk around the amazing tiny village of Portofino and have lunch there. The driver kept on communicating with us regarding the time and place of the pickup, and we returned and were dropped off at our cruiseship's port at exactly the agreed time on the dot. Couldn't be happier with the experience.

Private Transport from Genoa to Portofino Round Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Genoa.
How much does Private Transport from Genoa to Portofino Round Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $742 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 Private Transport from Genoa to Portofino Round Trip 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 Private Transport from Genoa to Portofino Round Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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 Private Transport from Genoa to Portofino Round Trip?
+
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 Private Transport from Genoa to Portofino Round Trip 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 Private Transport from Genoa to Portofino Round Trip?
+
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 Private Transport from Genoa to Portofino Round Trip 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.
