Not recommended for a sightseeing drive
We booked explicitly the coastal road from Genoa to San Remo with stop in Savona. The driver told us he will take the highway to Savona and than the coastal road. We were surprised but accepted. In Savona he told us he will drive the coastal road SS1 to Finale Ligure which is a very short distance and then the highway to San Remo. We told him that we wanted to drive and paid for the coastal road. He told us that it is a bad road with many constructions and traffic jams. We still insisted on the more scenic road. There was just one construction and only in Loano was a bad traffic jam. But the driver continuously kept telling us how crazy it is to not drive the Highway and how stressful it is for him to drive this coastal road!! In Taggia he obviously decided he had enough and drove the inland SS720/718 to San Remo. This road was one tunnel after another, so nothing scenic at all! This driver tried his hardest to ruin a nice drive. So we are disappointed of the lack of understanding that tourists want to see the country side and not just want to go as quick as possible from A to B. I would not recommend Enrico limousine for anything else as from a simple transport.
Response from the operator: Good morning, we're sorry for this comment, but we handled your booking as you requested. We left Genoa and reached Savona via the highway to avoid all the city and port traffic. We stopped at the first stop in the center of Savona, from there the driver traveled over 100 km along the Aurelia 1 state road to Sanremo. Once in Sanremo, the driver followed the GPS, which directed him to take the Aurelia Bis to reach his destination. The service was carried out regularly, and in this way the driver was able to manage the 8-hour journey he paid for, having time to return to Genoa.

Excellent way to visit Portofino and the surrounding towns on the coast!
I had another tour to Portofino (small group tour) cancel their tour just 10 days before it was scheduled. All other group tours were sold out, so I looked into private tours and glad I did. I found this tour and it was a highlight of our recent trip to Italy! The driver we had, Claudio, was excellent! He arrived at our hotel 5 minutes before the scheduled time, was very courteous and professional. His English was very good and he was happy to converse and make recommendations and answer questions. He reviewed the itinerary for the day and made recommendations as to how best to experience Portofino, Santa Margherita and Camogli. We started with a visit to Camogli to take advantage of the lack of crowds early in the day, drove to Portofinio to walk around and visit for a few hours then took the ferry to Santa Margherita for lunch and walking around. The visits were excellent and Camogli turned out to be a nice small gem on the coast. Claudio made time during our return to the hotel to show us Boccadasse Beach and Belvedere Castelletto for a great view of the city! Claudio was a great driver, navigating with ease tight spots and always able to find a parking space when needed. He was always on time for when we needed to re-meet to continue our tour This is an excellent way to visit Portofino and the surrounding towns on the coast. Claudio did a great job and made the trip fun and interesting. Highly recommended!!

A lovely day with Michele.
Michele was an excellent guide. He was on time and professional and gave us information and plenty of time for photos. He took us to a lovely place for lunch. He tried to park as close as possible at each stop. Highly recommended.

Tour from Genoa to Portofino,Santa Margherita and Camogli: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Genoa.
How much does Tour from Genoa to Portofino,Santa Margherita and Camogli cost?
+
Prices start at $659 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 Tour from Genoa to Portofino,Santa Margherita and Camogli take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tour from Genoa to Portofino,Santa Margherita and Camogli worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 46 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 Tour from Genoa to Portofino,Santa Margherita and Camogli?
+
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 Tour from Genoa to Portofino,Santa Margherita and Camogli suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour from Genoa to Portofino,Santa Margherita and Camogli?
+
Around 16 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour from Genoa to Portofino,Santa Margherita and Camogli 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.

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.
