About this activity

To fully discover a city one may participate in a lot of tours and go eat at many venues published on travel guides and recommended by online travellers but the true local knows where to take you and you'll be paired with a Local Expert who will tell you stories, curiosities and will take you to spots outside of the tourist lens.

We'll visit the most important and the least acknowledged hitspots of the UNESCO Genoa Vicoli area.

Also, with us, you'll be able to eat some of the most typical snacks available in the city, which mean a lot to the gastronomic history of the locals.

The activity is suitable to people of all ages, from the kid discovering the curiosities behing the walls of the vicoli to the adults learning about Genoa's culture.
