    Not memorable at all. ...

    Not memorable at all. First the tour guide did not meet us in the designated spot according to our confirmation email. Then when we were finally able to find our tour guide, we were introduced to a different person who was filling in for the one we originally contracted with. The tour guide asked us what we wanted to see. I informed her according to the tour information we were supposed be tasting various food products famous in Genoa. It wasn't what we had signed up for and it was a waste of our 2.5 hours. Very disappointing. Coleen Scherf-Ghara

    Response from the operator: Dear Coleen, Thank you for your feedback. We truly value hearing from our customers. We are very sorry to read about your experience, as we always strive to provide the best possible experience for our guests. Please note that all our experiences take place in private homes. For privacy reasons, the exact address cannot be disclosed prior to booking; the address displayed on the Viator platform is a general location. We sincerely regret any frustration this may have caused. However, this important information is clearly stated in the Viator voucher that each guest receives after making a reservation. We apologize for the disappointment and the time that didn’t meet your expectations. We will review this with our guides to ensure clearer communication and a more accurate experience for future guests. Thank you for your understanding, Our very best wishes,

    Genoa Introduction

    My first trip to Genoa was made even more memorable through the passion of Roberto and Tiziana for their hometown. While this was a food tour, they also introduced a lot of the charm and history of the area.

    Misleading tour description

    Claudia was fab, the best you can expect- knowledgeable, invested in her job, flexible and funny! We had a great afternoon together. However the description of the event including the photos are misleading. I've been on these tours before in other cities in Italy, for less money and have had a wider range of food and wine! I can see from the reviews that it wasn't just me who got confused by the tour description. The tour organizers should really be more honest in the way they sell a product!

    Food and Traditions

    After not receiving an answer to my questions from the tour operator, the tour guide Claudia got in touch and a new experience in Italy was afoot. We saw some unique shops (“historic bottega”) in Genova that have been around for many years (from around 70 to 200 years) either run by different generations of the same family or shops that have been selling the same type of merchandise. They were small but the love of those who work there was quite visible. We tried different types of Focaccia one better than the other. At the Oriental Market Claudia explained the different produce giving examples of how and with what they could be served. It was a memorable experience on what the Genovese eat and why. Claudia also took me around to see a few of the city’s monuments while pointing out good restaurants to visit. In sum, it was a memorable experience in this beautiful city.

    Very Nice and Informative Street Tour in Genoa

    Cesarina and Roberto were very engaging and are full of information about Genoa. Google Translate helped were my Italian and their English failed. The food stops were great and I asked Cesarina to recommend a nice lunch place. She knew the owners and we were treated very well. I would recommend this tour.

    Street Food Tour in Genoa: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Genoa.

    How much does Street Food Tour in Genoa cost?

    +

    Prices start at $137 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 Street Food Tour in Genoa 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 Street Food Tour in Genoa worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 7 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 Street Food Tour in Genoa?

    +

    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 Street Food Tour in Genoa 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 Street Food Tour in Genoa?

    +

    Around 2 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 Street Food Tour in Genoa 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 is included in Street Food Tour in Genoa?

    +

    Included: Food walking tour (3 typical food shops); Local Taxes; Local guide; and 3 delicious tastings (sweet and savoury bites). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Street Food Tour in Genoa?

    +

    You will receive the meeting point after you have booked. We will contact you after you've booked to match you up with your ideal Cesarina based on what you are looking for. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Street Food Tour in Genoa offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Street Food Tour in Genoa?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Street Food Tour in Genoa if the weather is bad?

    +
