    Fantastic food & tour!!

    We stopped in Genoa on a cruise & decided to try a food & wine tour. Alessandro met us at the Aquarium & we started with the history of the Old Port town. He took us through the city & we stopped at the most amazing tiny, family owned places. They were in tiny "alley" ways and places we would have NEVER tried on our own. The food was AMAZING, authentic, and truly made with passion as each stop. We expected super tiny tastings, but we were full after the first 3 stops!!! We had a great history lesson, fantastic food, great wine, and just a great experience!!! We would highly recommend Alessandro & Soul of Genoa!!!

    A wonderful tour

    Our recent tour was fantastic, a perfect blend of cultural immersion, culinary delight, and historical exploration. From start to finish, the experience was both enriching and enjoyable. What made the tour truly special, though, was Alessandro, our guide. His ability to weave history into the experience made learning not just enjoyable, but deeply meaningful.

    It was divine!

    We enjoyed this tour very much. We saw parts of Genoa that we weren't expecting and were excited to see what was coming next. We had stops for food, wine, gelato, it was divine! The perfect way to start our vacation.

    Wonderful tour

    We had a great evening of walking round Genoa and trying the food and wine. Our guide was terrific, taking us for freshly baked focaccia, wine tastings, traditional local pasta and ice cream. Would highly recommend this tour.

    Yummy

    Alessandro did a great job pointing out a lot of the history in the old town that is not evident to your average traveler! He was very knowledgeable and flexible. He was also great with our infant son and the food was delicious!

    Tour of Genoa historic center and wine tasting with dinner: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tour of Genoa historic center and wine tasting with dinner cost?

    +

    Prices start at $97 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 of Genoa historic center and wine tasting with dinner 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 Tour of Genoa historic center and wine tasting with dinner worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 11 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 of Genoa historic center and wine tasting with dinner?

    +

    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 of Genoa historic center and wine tasting with dinner 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 Tour of Genoa historic center and wine tasting with dinner?

    +

    Around 4 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 Tour of Genoa historic center and wine tasting with dinner 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.

    What is included in Tour of Genoa historic center and wine tasting with dinner?

    +

    Included: Lunch; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tour of Genoa historic center and wine tasting with dinner?
