"I much enjoyed my Genoa tour with Thomas - very relaxed and very informative he took me to hidden Palazzi and other places where I would not have ventured myself.
I also made him do it in Italian - his English is better than mine! - and so exposed him to a version (mine) of his own language which was new to him 🤣"
"The four of really enjoyed our time with Thomas. It was very obvious that he loves his city of Genoa. As well as learning about the city, we learned about life in the city compared to ours in Canada. Thank you Thomas "
"We are very glad we took the tour. You will see places you will have never found on your own. We had a really great experience being guided along all beautiful spots in the city. Very pleasant company to be around. We communicated in English very easily, speaks the language very well!"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hour Highlights and Hidden Gems tour of Genoa. Nefset was able to adjust the tour to suit our requests and ended the afternoon by visiting the sailing ship Amerigo Vespucci which was only in dock for a few days.
Nefset was not only an interesting and informative guide but also excellent company during our tour. We would happily recommend this tour and Nefset.

Genoa Bites: A Food Tour
"Thomas's tasting tour in Genoa was a delicious and memorable experience. He guided us through the city’s culinary gems with passion and deep local knowledge. We sampled incredible treats—starting with a creamy caffè con panera, followed by multiple varieties of focaccia, each better than the last. The savory torte were a delightful surprise, showcasing local ingredients and traditions. The highlight was a plate of pasta with vibrant, homemade pesto—simple yet unforgettable. We ended with rich, flavorful gelato that perfectly capped off the tour. Thomas created a warm, engaging atmosphere and offered cultural and historical insights alongside every bite. A must-do for food lovers!"
"We booked a tour with Thomas instead of booking an excursion from our cruise ship. Thomas was engaging and truely loves his city. He gave us great information and even showed us a lunch location that only the locals know about. We would definitely book a tour with Thomas again. "

Thomas was interesting and informative about the history, architecture,economy and culture. He gave us a super introduction to the city. He gave us lots of good ideas for our next few days.
We loved the caffe panera! Highly recommended"

Wonderful - the whole experience
"This was our first time using this platform and we were pleasantly surprised how knowledgeable our guide was. Thomas was not only a very pleasant human being but also smart and well read. We learned so much about the city and its history! We also got a glimpse into every day life in Italy. We highly recommend Thomas - it was our pleasure to meet him. "
"Meeting Thomas was a highlight of our amazing stay in Genoa. He is wonderful at sharing his first-hand experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for this wonderful city. He went out of the way in many ways to make our trip enjoyable and we are privileged to consider him as our new friend."
