After meeting your driver at the port you will enjoy a scenic coast driver until reaching Genoa downtown. Enjoy a panoramic stop at the Castelletto where can be enjoyed views over the historical center of Genoa, the port and the beautiful Lanterna light-house: the symbol of this bustling city.
Then enjoy here Genova’s waterfront, a delightful confusion of medieval streets and ancient stone walls, or decide to visit the large aquarium - the second largest in Europe. Your driver will wait that you explore this stunning attraction and will assist to make the most of your time in town.
Next you can decide to head on to a walking tour of the old town starting at the House of Columbus near the medieval gate of Porta Soprana, not far from the Porto Antico and the aquarium. Wander independently the picturesque "caruggi" (narrow streets) and squares, during your pathway you can admire the Cathedral, the Ducal Palace and the Carlo Felice Opera House, the “Strada Nuova" (New Road, Via Garibaldi), declared a World Heritage Site. Head to a cozy stroll in Boccadasse the old fishing village with amazing views and indulge in tasting the fresh and seductive local cuisine in a local restaurant with fish specialities (at own expenses).
If time is available you can enjoy an amount of extra local exploration before returning to the port. In the afternoon you can stop for some free time in Albisola or Savona, if you want to enjoy some retail therapy your driver will recommend you the best places according your needs.
