You’ll learn to prepare real Genovese pesto using a traditional marble mortar and wooden pestle—just like locals have done for centuries.

You’ll taste high-quality local ingredients and enjoy your handmade pesto served with trofie pasta, paired with a guided tasting of Ligurian wines. What makes this experience truly special is our family involvement: the class is led by us together with Gaia, our daughter, who was the youngest finalist at the World Pesto Championship in Genoa (March 2026). This is not just a cooking class, but a real connection to Ligurian culture, traditions and family hospitality.

Genoa tour FAQs

Common questions about booking Genoa experiences through SimilarTours

Is it worth booking a private boat tour to Portofino, or can I just take a public ferry?

Private boat tours give you flexibility - you're not locked to a ferry schedule - and many include stops at swimming spots or smaller coves the big ferries skip. If you want to move at your own pace or combine Portofino with the wider Gulf of Tigullio, a private boat is worth the extra cost. For a quick visit, the public ferry works fine.

How far ahead should I book these boat tours?

Peak season (June-September) books up fast, so aim for at least 2-3 weeks out if you're traveling then. Shoulder months give you more flexibility, but summer sunset charters from Santa Margherita and Genoa fill quickly. Check before you go to see what's available on your dates.

Can I do a day trip to Florence or Pisa from Genoa?

Yes, private day trips to Florence, Pisa, and Lucca are commonly booked from Genoa, usually with car pickup from the pier included. These are long days (expect 10-12 hours round trip), but they spare you from navigating trains or rental cars yourself.

What's the best time to visit Genoa for boat tours?

May through September is ideal - calmer seas and reliable weather. July and August are peak but hot and crowded. April and October offer pleasant conditions with fewer tourists. Winter can be rainy and boats occasionally skip due to rough seas, so check conditions before you go.

Should I stay in Genoa itself or nearby?

If you're mainly doing Portofino and water-based tours, staying in Santa Margherita or Portofino puts you closer to the action. Genoa makes sense as a transit base if you're combining Riviera time with Tuscany day trips or arriving via its airport or cruise port.

Are these private tours actually worth the cost over group alternatives?

For boat tours along this coast, absolutely - you get flexible timing, better swimming opportunities, and often a more personal experience. Private car transfers also beat taxis or public transport if you're making a longer journey (airport runs, multi-city day trips). The Riviera moves at its own pace; rushing defeats the point.

What do private boat tours typically include?

Most include captain and boat for your group, swimming time at scenic spots, and sometimes light snacks or wine. Full-day tours often add lunch or multiple locations. Always check the specific tour description for what's provided - inclusions vary by operator.
