Genoa: Portofino Guided Shore Excursion & Private Boat Tour
5,5 Hrs
Description
Meet your tour leader directly outside the cruise terminal and embark on a scenic bus ride along the Ligurian coastline toward Santa Margherita Ligure. Upon arrival, savor a delicious local treat with an authentic Genoese focaccia tasting. From there, board a boat for a picturesque cruise over to Portofino, one of Italy’s most prestigious coastal gems.
Enjoy roughly two hours of leisure time in Portofino. Use this time to wander through the charming harbor, unwind in the iconic Piazzetta, explore boutique shops, or hike up to spectacular panoramic spots overlooking the sea.
After taking the boat back to Santa Margherita Ligure, return to Genoa via private coach, stopping at the initial meeting point near the port.
Here, the itinerary splits based on your chosen option:
-
Express Option (Boat Cruise & Focaccia Tasting): Your tour finishes here, allowing for a short, hassle-free walk back to your ship.
-
Extended Option (with Genoa City Tour): Join your guide for a walking tour through Genoa’s vibrant historic heart, exploring its grand UNESCO World Heritage sites and historic landmarks before returning to the port.
Throughout the journey, an English- and Spanish-speaking guide will share fascinating historical facts, geographical context, and local stories. Opting for a guided excursion transforms your trip into a deeper, far more engaging cultural experience.
