Itinerary

Do Eat Better Experience (Pass By)

During our gastronomic tours in Genoa, you can taste some of the iconic dishes of this magnificent city. Choosing the traditional tour you will discover the dishes that have made the history of the city such as the famous pasta al pesto, cheese focaccia and much more, in a tour with at least 4 stops between typical restaurants and historic take-away restaurants. Our street food tour will take you instead to the discovery of the most famous street food in the city, from the famous focaccia to the delicious fried fish cone. On the other hand, with the gourmet food tour you will discover traditional dishes in a gourmet key, in historical places but also in the most modern city bistros, discovering the Genoese culinary innovation.

You can't visit Genoa without tasting typical Savoury pies: there are thousands of pies in the world, but come taste our best ones into an old Sciamadda (a typical "takeaway" from the beginning of 20thCentury). You will try also the unforgettable Focaccia with cheese: 2 very thin layers of dough filled with "Stracchino", (a typical soft cheese from Recco, a small village next to Genoa).
Piazza delle Erbe (Pass By)

Genoa is a harbour city with traditional seafood-based cuisine, so it's a must try! Fried squids - Our tender fried squids will melt in your mouth!

Great food and fun guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a fantastic tour and Valentina was an amazing guide! The food was great and we had a lot of fun learning more about Genoa in between stops. It was cool to get food from some well known places as well as small, easy to miss restaurants that we never would have ventured into on our own. I would definitely recommend if you're interested in the Genoa food scene.

Great food tour in Genoa!

Published on Jan, 2025

My husband and I had a great time with Valentina! Our group tour turned into a private tour. We sampled a wide variety of foods and visited many important sites during our walking tour. Go hungry! All the food was great and we ate it all.

Wonderful tour with amazing food. Highlight of the trip.

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a great time during the tour. Our guide, Marina, was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable of the area and answered all of the many questions we had. The food on the tour was amazing and varied, with lots of nuance in each meal, and it was hard to decide which meal was the best. This tour was definitely the highlight of the trip for us and we will be going again if in the area.

Taste Genoa!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Beatrice was an absolute delight—bright, vibrant, and incredibly knowledgeable. She brought Genoa's history and culture to life, making the city’s beauty and charm even more captivating. She was especially kind and patient with our son who is studying abroad, engaging him in Italian to encourage his language skills, which added a personal and thoughtful touch to the experience. Her warmth and enthusiasm made the afternoon a true pleasure. If you're visiting Genoa, don't miss the chance to explore it with Beatrice. She’s simply the best!

Great tour, good food

Published on Nov, 2024

Good food overall and the tour was great. Marina was excellent and responsive to special requests regarding food allergies, preferences and physical limitations of some party members. One minor complaint was that our 4th stop I think was supposed to have pasta (I heard cacio y pepe) but we only ended up with flatbread and toppings. The price seems too high for the food included so 3.5 to 4 stars for that but Marina earned 5 stars especially on our cold rainy day.
