Stop At: La Casa di Colombo, Via di Porta Soprana, 16121, Genoa Italy
The so-called Columbus' House is located not far from the gate of Porta Soprana, just outside the medieval walls. It is probably an 18th century reconstruction of the original medieval building, where the discoverer of the Americas spent his youth. The house was likely destroyed during the bombing by the French fleet of King Louis XIV that hit Genoa in 1684. The building has two floors: the ground floor was used as a workshop by his father, Domenico Columbus, who dealt in wool weaving and trade; the home of the family was upstairs. According to written sources, the navigator must have lived here between 1455 and 1470.

Stop At: Piazza Banchi, Genoa Italy
Located just off one of the most important docks in the city, this was once the site of Genoa’s old grain market, and was known as piazza "dei banchi" in the 12th century due to the money-changers' stalls located under the porticoes of the various buildings.

Perfect tour of Genoa. Guide Lupe was excellent and informative. Couldn’t have booked anything more enjoyable in Genoa as this takes you on tour with back streets and places you won’t see by car or bus.

Annalisa was an excellent tour guide and she was able to get us to many memorable sites. I think this is the best way to see Genoa in a short amount of time and without doing a lot of walking.

You cancelled two bookings in a row. Very disappointing. I have nothing more to add since the rides were cancelled by you.

Lupe did an amazing job! Some really beautiful sights, amazing info knowledge, helpfulness and friendliness are a real credit to her company, and she even dropped us to an area of amazing restaurants for us to eat at- highly recommended tour, personal as it’s only two- seats, for a couple. Missed the big tour groups so had a very unique experience. A+++++

This turned out to be our favorite port excursion of our Princess Cruise stops. Our tour guide and rickshaw operator Lupe was wonderful!!
Many of our other tours were focused on safely walking on the streets and less time being able to look at the architecture and take in the history and culture. Lupe made Genoa Italy come alive with her information and stories. We hope the owners of the rickshaw service can appreciate the treasure they have in Lupe as their valued employee.

We had a great time with Renato who gave us a wonderful tour of Genoa full of interesting details about its history. Highly recommend this tour. If you are not rushed, they will drop you off in the center so that you can explore on your own afterwards.
