Excellent guided walk in historic Genoa. - Antonio was friendly and engaged with each of us. He took us to a number of interesting spots over the easy two hour walk, and provided some good information along the way. Overall, Antonio was excellent and so was the walk.

Nice walking tour in Genoa - Genoa is an amazing city and this walking tour with Antonio was exactly what we needed to explore it. This tour was around 2 hours and we visited the main landmarks but also some hidden places that we couldn't be able to find on our own. We really recommend this tour!

Alright tour but not especially engaging - It provided some interesting information but it was slow and didn't really needed 2h for the small amount it covered. The guide needs to speak a bit louder.

Tour Guide didn't show up - The walking tour was cancelled at the time it was supposed to start. I was left at the Piazza De Ferrari wondering and searching for the guide. I received the cancellation while at the meeting point. I will not be booking any tours thru TripAdvisor's subcontractors in the future.
