"We had a marvelous tour with Thomas, we tried many foods, learnt so much about the cities history and architecture. Thomas was so knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and gave us many tips re good for the remainder of our stay. A very enjoyable afternoon!! Thanks Thomas :)"
"We had a wonderful tour with Nefset, very knowledgeable on all things Genoa. Food tastings were great and the tour through the city was perfect. She is an excellent guide and we highly recommend her. "
"Nefset orchestrated a beautiful boat journey along the Portofino and Camogli Italian coast for my wife and I. We stopped along the way to enjoy the beach and most importantly the very best of local cuisine.
It was a first class experience that exceeded our expectations. Her extra travel assistance and special photographs captured will last us a lifetime.
Nefset is the Best! 😁"
"We loved spending the day with Nefset. We enjoyed hidden gems of Genoa, walked gardens and castles, enjoyed espresso, wine, appertivo, focaccia, pesto, gelato, and more. She finished the day taking us to a grocery store to point out some things to take home. Nefset started as our guide, but we parted as friends."
"Nefset was wonderful. She asked what we were looking for in our tour and went beyond to make our day enjoyable. She was a perfect guide pointing out the high points of Genoa as well as the authentic foods. Her choices were excellent. Her pleasant personality and her knowledge of English only enhanced our experience. "
"We spent an evening on the "10 Tastings of Genoa" tour with Thomas. We can't say enough about this great guide. He was able to share his extensive knowledge of the history and culture of Genoa, all while leading us to hidden gem food places to eat delicious typical Genoese delights. Thomas was very friendly and extremely patient with our millions of questions and our slow-ish walking pace. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and had enough leftovers for the next day! You can't go wrong with this tour, and especially Thomas. "
"We had such a great food tour with Thomas!! He provided us with so much history about Genoa and the places and foods he had us savour were fantastic!! He was even nice enough to take us to the best places to purchase olive oil and pesto!! Thomas was great, it was wonderful to have him as our guide 😊"
"We had an amazing tour with Thomas, who is so passionate about his city and eager to share his wealth of knowledge about history, culture, food, and so much more! It truly didn't feel like a tour; more like hanging out with a new friend who knows all the best places to get focaccia and see spectacular views, though Thomas is also professional and responsive to individual needs, such as finding vegetarian options. We can't imagine a better way to start a visit to this wonderful city than a tour with Thomas!"
"My family and I had a wonderful time on our Food Tour with Thomas! Thomas was a wonderful host . He did a fabulous job leading us through the amazing city of Genoa sharing its history and its food with my family. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Genoa! "
"Great night on our first night in Genova. Thomas met us at our hotel and walked with us to the city center, sharing history, key historic locations, and stories along the way. The food stops were great, authentic, and clearly part of the community. (It's November, but no tourists were to be found on our stops!) Places were so small they'd have been unable to accommodate larger food tours. Thomas also took the time to tailor our tour to our interests. Finally, when Thomas says he grew up in Genova- he means it! Right in old town- we ran into at least 4 of his friends, including his barber. We had a great first night in Genova - book a tour with Thomas!"
