Genoa city tour
On arrival in Genoa the first part of the tour is done by coach, pointing out St. George's Palace. Then on foot we explore the many historical sites of Genoa many based around the De Ferrari Square. The city centre has a network of small alleyways to discover on foot. After the walk through the city, we take you by coach to the viewpoint of "Carignono" where you see the whole city before you.
Coastal explorer
The best way to see the beautiful scenery this area has to offer. As you cruise along the coast in your private motor launch, the guide will point out all the places of interest. We make two stops where you can explore in more detail. The first is at the port of Rapallo. You will visit the castle which dates back to the 14th Century, then have a walk through the narrow alleyways where there are the painted houses and colourful shops. Back on the motor launch, we then visit Portofino. This is a stunning port which started as a small fishing village, however now it is a playground for the rich and famous.
