GENOA – YOUR FIRST TIME  

Discover Genoa, the legendary maritime republic known as La Superba, on an exclusive private walking experience through the heart of its extraordinary historic centre. Accompanied by your private guide, leave the well-trodden paths behind and enter the maze of medieval caruggi — narrow, atmospheric alleyways where centuries of history, local traditions and everyday life still intertwine. This is where the authentic character of Genoa reveals itself: unexpectedly elegant, richly historic and full of hidden details waiting to be discovered. Your journey takes you through the largest medieval historic centre in Europe, a fascinating succession of narrow streets, intimate squares, ancient churches and magnificent historic buildings. As you wander through the caruggi, your private guide will reveal the stories behind the city and introduce you to the contrasts that make Genoa so distinctive — from the modest lanes of the old town to the extraordinary palaces built for the city's most powerful families. The experience continues along magnificent Via Garibaldi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Genoa's most spectacular historic streets. Known as the Strada Nuova, this elegant avenue is lined with extraordinary Renaissance and Baroque palaces, created by Genoa's aristocratic families during the city's golden age. Admire the richly decorated façades and imagine the world of wealth, commerce and power that once filled these remarkable residences.
Over approximately three hours, follow our carefully curated insider route, designed to reveal both the celebrated landmarks and the more intimate corners that many visitors overlook. From grand palaces to hidden squares, from medieval alleyways to elegant Renaissance architecture, experience the many faces of Genoa and discover the authentic spirit of this remarkable Mediterranean city. A private journey for travellers who wish to experience Genoa beyond the monuments — through its atmosphere, stories and unmistakable character.
