Meet your guide just steps from the cruise terminal and travel by private bus along the Ligurian coast to Rapallo. From here, enjoy a scenic boat ride to the world-famous village of Portofino, one of Italy’s most elegant seaside destinations. Spend approximately 2 hours of free time in Portofino to explore at your own pace. Stroll around the harbor and Piazzetta, relax at a café, shop in charming boutiques, or walk to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the bay. After returning by boat to Rapallo, head back to Genoa city center by bus. Here, enjoy a guided sightseeing tour highlighting Genoa’s main historical and cultural landmarks, including several UNESCO World Heritage sites, along with a tasting of authentic Genoese focaccia, a delicious local specialty. The tour ends back at the original meeting point, ensuring a timely return to your cruise ship. The tour is led by an English- and Spanish-speaking tour leader who will share insights about the places visited, explaining their geography, history, and interesting anecdotes along the way. Choosing a guided tour is important because it allows you to truly understand what you are seeing: it’s not just a trip, but a richer and more engaging experience.
