Alyssa_C, Aug 2026

The boat ride was lovely...

The boat ride was lovely and Emanuele told us a lot of great history on the different spots. He provided us with drinks, towels, snorkeling gear, and amazing focaccia bread fresh from a bakery. We were able to stop and swim as well as walk Portofino. We had a great time!

Amy_C, Aug 2026

Very accomodating

We were a bit worried that the tour we booked would not give us time to get back to our tender for the cruise ship. When we discussed this with them at arrival at the meeting point they were very accomodating and we ended up able to enjoy a wonderful boat ride seeing the amazing coastline from water. The swimming was refreshing and our guide was friendly and knowlegable.

Awesome local private guide!

Gabriel was so great. This was the best tour of our vacation - he knew all of the locals, and shared so much interesting history. We noticed other people around us listening to him as he clearly knew what he was talking about. I did t realize he would be teaching us the pesto making, that was amazing too. I would do this again for sure!

Favlio was an excellent guide. He was very personable and informative. He was observant of people in our group that walked slowly. He purchased our ferry tickets and made sure we had plenty of time for the things we wanted to see and do. I would highly recommend Favlio.

Portofino and Santa Margherita Private Tour of Ligurian Gems

Tamar_S, May 2026

Beautiful Portofino

We arrived in Santa margherita with a cruise ship and our guide, Francesco, met us right where the tender boats docked. We immediately took a ferry to Portofino, where he gave us a nice introduction to the town, and then gave us a quick tour around the island before we stopped for lunch and some free time for shopping. Upon return to Santa Margherita, he gave us a quick intro to this town too before we stopped for a tasting of local specialties and a beverage. We had a great time with our guide and thoroughly enjoyed our day!
