Full description

Escape the hustle and bustle of Milan on a full-day sightseeing tour of 3 gems of the Ligurian Coast. Departing by bus from central Milan, drive south to the capital of Liguria and the largest seaport in Italy at Genova (Genoa). Nicknamed “La Superba” ("Superb One"), due to its impressive landmarks, part of the old town was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. Explore streets rich in art, gastronomy and architecture. The birthplace of Christopher Columbus, its role in maritime history is beyond compare.

Once one of the "Maritime Republics,” along with Venice, Pisa, and Amalfi, the ornate buildings and monuments reveal a rich story of trade and shipbuilding. Next, relax at the pearl of the Ligurian Sea at Portofino, a small village that dates back to the Roman period.

Its glittering harbor and colorful waterfront houses have made it a much sought-after destination among celebrities, while its Roman name of Portus Delphini (Port of the Dolphin) reflects the large number of dolphins that inhabited the Tigullian Gulf. End your tour at Santa Margherita Ligure, where the maritime scenery and turquoise sea blends beautifully with the green of the Ligurian hills, colorful fishing boats bob in the harbor, and picturesque fishermen’s houses transport you back to a less hurried time.

Our guide for the day, Nadjma was very good making sure no one was lost which could easily have happened. The Guide in Genoa was very informative and easy to hear. That was the highlight of my day. The driver was excellent but the coach rather crammed. I would recommend this tour.

It started early with Genoa sightseeing which was quite detailed & had a terrific guide who was quite knowledgeable & it was such an interesting city! We then went to Santa Margherita which is quite pretty to catch the ferry to Portofino. It is a enjoyable and you see a lot.

Walking tour of Genoa was excellent with a very informative guide - although the group size made it challenging for her. Andrea had good control and gave clear instructions. Santa Margherita was lovely and deserves more time and Portofino beautiful, although far too little time there to properly explore.
