"Nef was a great guide! She pointed out things that we would have never known or noticed without her guidance and it made our time in Genoa so much more meaningful."
"A fantastic beginning for our visit to Genoa and a highlight to our trip to Liguria. The ten tasting tour was a perfect fit for our group of four. Thomas is an excellent guide to the history and culture of Genoa. We tasted some delicious food for which this area is known from shops that the locals frequented. He has good rapport with the shop keepers. When you’re out with Thomas,you feel like you are a part of Genoa. We walked around admiring the buildings, the harbor and the city from different view points. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him discussing a wide range of topics from food to history to politics to computer programming. He generously extended our tour to make sure we took one of the city elevators that he had used to get to schoolwith a lovely view of the city."

Genova explained!
"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 "

Great city tour
"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.

"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"
