Overview

Unfold the captivating tales of the Italian Riviera as you embark on a private tour from the maritime hub of Genoa to the coastal gems of Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure. Just a short drive away, yet worlds apart in essence, you'll first reach Portofino. This vibrant fishing village, now an epitome of sophistication, showcases pastel houses, an iconic marina, and panoramas that have inspired poets and painters alike.

Next, a mere coastal hop away is Santa Margherita Ligure. This seaside town complements Portofino's glamour with its own gracious appeal. Stroll the palm-fringed esplanade, gaze at ornate villas reflecting golden eras gone by, and savor Ligurian delicacies at local trattorias.
