Eleanora is very knowledgeable and knows her way all around Genova. We saw an amazing array of architecture, churches, palazzo, and the waterfront in one hour and heard many interesting stories

    Great way to see parts of Genoa we would never have found on our own. Great guide who shared knowledge about areas we visited. Well worth the time and money.

    Our guide was very knowledgeable and nice. We extended our tour to 2hrs, and glad we did. Such a neat town with tons of history.

    Great way to see the sights

    An excellent way to travel around Genoa and see the sights. We had an excellent time and found it a very informative tour. Eleanora and Edouardo were excellent! We all had a really good time! Highly recommend

    Fun Way to See the City!

    Fun way to see the city and learn about its history. Great communication - met us at the entry to the cruise ship port.

    Poor platform and organizer communication

    alee_l, Jun 2025
    Communication between Viator and the organizer has been poor, different directions and ultimately we didn’t get to make the excursion.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you for your feedback. We’d like to clarify what happened. Your booking was made for a different date than the one you showed up for. When we realized the mix-up, we did our best to offer a solution — including the option to take the tour later that same day. However, you declined this offer. We also provide a flexible cancellation policy, allowing changes or cancellations up to 24 hours in advance. While the mistake in the booking was not on our side, we still tried to accomodate you as much as possible. We always strive to be fair and helpful, and we kindly ask that reviews reflects the full context of the experience. Best regards, Treecycle Genoa.

    Fun way to see Genoa

    Caroline_T, Jul 2024
    Bruno, our guide, was very informative. Fun way to spend an hour seeing some sights of Genoa (even if a bit bumpy at times!) Shame Viator had overbooked the company and our original time was changed, but it worked out ok for us.

    Highly recommended

    Rosemary_M, Jun 2024
    Fabulous way to get an insight into Genoa. Our guide, Lupe, was very informative. It was quite a hot day so for an older couple, on a flying visit before moving on to Sestri Levante, it was an ideal way to see a lot in a short space of time. Very good value for money.

    GENOA FOR 2

    luis_n, Apr 2024
    We went to GENOA in March 2024 and due to the weather our ship MSC EUROPA arrived late, missing our tour in the morning.. We emailed them and they arranged a new time in the afternoon.. The weather was bad in the morning muggy rain and cold. But by noon it cleared giving us a nice sunny day.. Our guide was Lupe who not only spoke english but spanish which my wife loved!! I must say she was EXCELLENT!!!! I highly recommend this tour and remember ask for her...Enjoy Genoa!!!

    Genoa in March, cold and rainy

    The close interaction with the guide who answered all my quedtions smoothly incorporated into his presentation, on topic and off topic.

    Excellent and different excursion

    Angie_N, Oct 2023
    Saw lots of sights in Genoa and our drivers (2 young girls but can´t remember their names) were very informative and lovely personalities.

    Do it!

    Dawn_K, Oct 2023
    Amazing tour with all the interesting history I would never had known if I had explored on my own. Lupe was such a great tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Awesome

    Rachel_L, Oct 2023
    "Listen" everyone needs to do this they even pick you up at cruise ship and drops us off. The very best excursion my friend and I ever did. Ask for an extra hour and go for lunch in a local spot. Young lady spoke perfect English and knew her history. We learned so much and going threw all the small alleyways in the Rickshaw was so exciting. I wish I could do this in all ports. Thank you so much ❤️ honestly the best.

    Our guide was wonderful....

    Gail_G, Sep 2023
    Our guide was wonderful. Great experience! We got yo see a lot in a short time. I highly recommend it!

    Well worth the tour, specially if you have Lupe as your guide.

    Ian_D, Jul 2023
    Our tour guide Lupe, picked us up on time and was very knowledgable about the area. She took us to places that we would never have been to in our half day in Genova, and explained the history in detail. I highly recommend Lupe to be your guide.

    Our tour guide was...

    Catherine_C, May 2023
    Our tour guide was wonderful and handled a dead battery on the bike professionally and has a colleague bring another rickshaw. Tour was informative and fun. Ride is a little rocky due to the cobblestone streets and sidewalks. Otherwise I would give it a 5!

    Best tour ever

    Nicola_M, May 2023
    Excellent tour, so informative and such a lovely guide. I would recommend this to anyone. One hour was great saw and heard so much. A highlight to being in Genoa. Much better than the hop on hop off bus. More personal. He stopped to let me take photos

    Excellent experience, highly recommended

    david_w, Mar 2023
    We really enjoyed our rickshaw ride, and our guide Joseph was very knowledgeable, and entertaining. This is the only way you will get to tour the old city, unless you are a keen walker, all the roads are far too narrow for the tour buses, we were offered an extra hour to continue to explore, which we would have done had our time not been limited.

    we had a great time

    our guide was knowledgeable and personable and we enjoyed tour very much, I wish more cities offered there tours. It’s an excellent way for people to get around when walking is an issue

    Jaci_N, Oct 2022
    Eliza was great! Very knowledgeable, charismatic and fun to tour Genoa with. The Focaccia tasting we asked for was delicious! Definitely the best we’ve had. We highly recommend.

    Fantastic

    Gavino was an amazing guide. Beautiful city. Great way to get around. Would highly recommend, excellent value for money

    Great tour with really good guide.

    Michael_H, Sep 2022
    Touring through the small alleys and streets. Our guide was great with great local knowledge. Outstanding!

    A MUST-DO IN GENOA

    Delton_R, Sep 2022
    Our guide was Yousef (pronounced Joseph). It it was the BEST tour of our Mediterranean adventure. He brought the area to life with vivid and memorable stories. His driving skills through traffic were amazing. He had a planned route but was happy to accommodate our specific requests … a bottle of wine (we’ll-priced at a grocery store), a shot glass (for our collection), and a sampling of the local focaccia bread (fresh out of the oven). Don’t miss this tasty local specialty, by the way. He even took us back to the ship! Highly recommend this tour!

    Rickshaw tour of Old Town Genoa

    anner7254, Nov 2019
    Gavino was very knowledgeable about the Old Town of Genoa. Great personality and friendly demeanor. He made it a very enjoyable hour exploring and pointing out the history behind the buildings the paintings and carvings you would never really notice unless you knew about them. Don’t miss this opportunity for intimate views of the city.

    Agréable
