Explore the heart of Genoa with your family on a 2.5-hour private tour designed especially for kids — and just as enjoyable for adults. Led by a top-rated local guide who knows how to bring the city to life, this experience blends history, legend, and hands-on fun .
The adventure begins in the city's famous Caruggi, a labyrinth of narrow medieval alleys where every corner holds a surprise. From there, you’ll make your way to the striking Cathedral of San Lorenzo. With its bold black-and-white stripes and towering Gothic architecture, it’s impressive at first sight — but what really captures young imaginations are the stories inside. Then, you’ll reach Piazza De Ferrari, Genoa’s grand central square.
Then, for a final treat, your guide will take you on a short elevator ride — a little adventure in itself — up to Spianata Castelletto. From this panoramic viewpoint high above the city, you’ll take in breathtaking views of Genoa’s rooftops, harbor, and the Ligurian Sea beyond.
