We didn't go on the trip as it was cancelled due to lack of participation. The alternate trip to cinque Terre was cancelled due to inclement weather.

It was great trip, seeing the history of Genova & where Christofer Colombie was born was a plus. I liked walking in it’s narrow streets & experiencing it Salvatore was a great guide. He was helpful w where to go & knew the area well. Portofino is the best one with great shopping & best views & the best gelato in Italy.

GREAT EXPLANATIONS AND SEAMLESS ARRANGEMENTS. ANTONELLA KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT GENOA AND NAJMA EXPLAINED EVERYTHING ELSE.
GREAT EXPERIENCE.

Our two guides were great but unfortunately I don't recall their names. We started in Genoa with some nice panoramic views of the city and waterfront. The city itself is interesting with a lot of history. Lots of foccacia shops and wish we could have had five minutes to get a snack. We continued to Santa Margherita for lunch. I thought this city was beautiful. Lots of great places to eat and walk around to shop. Ferry to Portofino was great. Portofino itself was super crowded when you get off the boat. Most restaurants there on the waterfront were packed. We did not make it up to the church as it was uphill and we were tired as it was our first full day. The bus to and from Milan is two hours each way. There is one stop half way at the Autogrill so you can get snacks or use the restrooms. Overall we enjoyed this tour.

This tour was great, our tour guide was excellent, time spent at each stop was great. We did have a delay because a lady did not return to the bus at the time given. I really enjoyed the walking tour of Genova, Santa Margarita and Portofino are beautiful.

A little of history in Genoa. A little of celebrity life in Portofino.

The tour idea is nice and it would have been amazing if it wasn’t that I got lost and the tour left me. Nat, was the guide, the tour started in Milano to Portofino (long distance) of you are someone that is never on time, you will have a bad experience. I arrived at the meeting point 5 min late to go back to st margarita the group left me and I when in the next boat which delayed me 5 more min when I got to st margarita the bus was already gone. I cried so much because the distance from where I was to Milan was a lot and I didn’t know what to do. I when back to Milan on a train that lasted 4 hours by myself. Next day I got a WhatsApp message saying to return the audio guide and they didn’t bother to ask if I was ok. I when to Zani Viaggi office to return the audio guide and I advice they to give the tour guide a list of contact from the people that are taking tour to at least give a call if someone get lost. We are in 2023 if you don’t communicate is because you don’t want. I had a bad time that day just because they couldn’t wait 5 min and no communication. It hard to travel by itself and go through stuff like this. I understand that the guide work with a certain time and we need to be respectful and things happen but is important to show empathy and humanity

Historical information was excellent and guide was very interesting. Genoa was an exciting place to explore. Portofino was beautiful and full of wonderful restaurants and views

The tour was a disappointment and needs to be restructured. At the very least, the schedule should be adhered to. The tour from Milan started well, with an engaging tour leader. The drive to Genoa was also pleasant, with a brief rest stop, which was welcome.
While the tour guide in Genoa was very knowledgeable about the history of the city, she provided too much information and far exceeded the time allotted for Genoa. It was not necessary to learn a detailed history of each and every building, which is what we received. An overview of the city and it's history would have been perfect. Not once did she mention Christopher Columbus, which seems like an important detail.
As a result of the overstay in Genoa, we only had an hour in Portofino, which is completely unacceptable. Overall, the tour achieved its goals (e.g., visiting Genoa and Portofino), but it was a disappointing effort.

Good trip but the tour of Genoa was a bit long and not very interesting if you're not into all the history of the city. A quicker stop in Genoa would have been better and then more time in Portofino. Both Santa Margarita and Portofino were lovely. Tour guide was friendly and kept everything on time.
