Traveler reviews
Big disappointment
This tour isn't what it says in your itinerary. We suppose to have a 2 hour walking tour but instead the tour guide pointed at 2 churches and left as. Our next destinations was Santa Margherita for lunch but we end up in Rhapallo where we were left again to explore by ourselves. The was nothing said about this place just pointed at restaurant we to go for lunch. Finally we arrived to Portofino where we had about 50 minutes to explore before catch the boat back to Genoa. .
Communication lacking prior to tour; tour itself was fine
I thought the two hour tour of the old city of Genoa was way too brief. I expected more time providing the history of the sites we were shown. The tour was ”I’ve shown you where a few key places to see”. You now have an hour and a half to tour on your own. The rest of the tour to Portofino was fine. It is unfortunate Mother Nature didn’t cooperate with the plan to take a boat ride back to Genoa. A train ride was provided instead. The only real pet peeve I have is with the communication leading up to the tour. Prior to the day of the tour, all communications were via email and a specific meeting place was specified. When I contacted the office to confirm I was at the right location (since no one else was also waiting), I was told a message was sent the day before using WhatsApp. Unfortunately, there was never any mention to use WhatsApp so how was I to know of the change in the meeting location. This needs to be clearly stated on the Viatour website or on the emails sent to customers.
Fabulous Day Trip
Excellent excursion. Well informed guides and extremely organised. We had a fantastic day and Portofino was everything and more.
Italian Riviera in a day
Beautiful views, boat ride was calm and relaxed. Especially enjoyed the Genova city tour with our guide!
Quick glimpse of Portofino
Great full day tour. Would of been a little better to have more time in Portofino as we were only there for a short time. Rapallo was a beautiful town to visit.
