Best of Genoa
Your english speaking driver will pick you up directly at your ship at the pier in Porfino to drive you into the city of Genoa. Your first stop will be at the panoramic terrace of Castelletto and from here you’ll have the chance to admire the city center of Genoa, the port and the “Lanterna” or lighthouse which is considered the symbol of the town. After that your tour will continue to visit the old city, starting with the “House of Colombo” near the medieval gate of “Porta Soprana”, the Piazza De Ferrari, the Carlo Felice Opera House, the Palazzo Ducale, the Church of Sant' Andrea, the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the Piazza San Matteo and much more. Time permitting you’ll drive to Camogli, a typical Tigullio coastal fishing village, where the houses painted in strong colors will make you think that you stepped into your favorite painting. Here you’ll be able to taste a ligurian lunch with specialties like “pasta col pesto” an absolute must if you enjoy pesto, or local fish dishes or “focaccia di Recco”. ...

The Cinque Terre
Another delightful itinerary is the one that goes through the Cinque Terre where the sea, the hills, the vineyards, the old fishing villages and the Genovese style churches add together to result in enthralling scenery. The 'Cinque Terre' are five small ancient fortified villages, inaccessible until some decades ago when a road was built. There are no cars and no noise but only nature. The population of each town is less than 500 except for Monterosso with 1000 inhabitants. Your driver will be waiting for you dockside at the prearranged time. Driving north, you'll reach Riomaggiore, the first of the five towns and walk through it to get on the "Via dell'Amore" (Walkway of Love) a famous and romantic easy walkway carved along the cliffs which will take you to the second town, Manarola, in about 15/20 minutes ...
