Genoa: Portofino Guided Shore Excursion & Private Boat Tour
7 Hrs
Description
Meet your guide just a short walk from the cruise port and set off by private coach along the stunning Ligurian coastline toward Rapallo. From there, board a boat for a picturesque cruise to the iconic village of Portofino, one of Italy’s most refined seaside gems.
Enjoy around two hours of free time in Portofino to discover the village at your leisure: wander along the marina and the famous Piazzetta, unwind at a café, browse elegant boutiques, or walk up to scenic viewpoints with breathtaking views over the bay.
After the boat ride back to Rapallo, return by coach to the heart of Genoa. Here, take part in a guided city tour featuring the city’s most important historical and cultural highlights, including several UNESCO World Heritage sites. The experience also includes a tasting of traditional Genoese focaccia, a beloved local specialty.
The tour concludes at the original meeting point, allowing a smooth and punctual return to your cruise ship. Throughout the excursion, you will be accompanied by a tour leader fluent in English and Spanish, who will provide explanations about the destinations visited, sharing insights into their geography, history, and engaging local stories.
Choosing a guided tour means going beyond simply visiting places—it offers a deeper understanding and a more enriching, memorable experience.
