Such a beautiful seaside city

What a beautiful city Genoa is, and with rich history on every street. We were on the red line, we still have the blue line to explore

Disappointed tour

Very disappointing tour, we have done these hop on buses all over the world. The commentary was poor with no real direction to the subject they were talking about. Also they did commentary whilst in tunnels where you can hear nothing due to the noise. They had plenty of other opportunities to discuss Italian dishes but they chose as we went into a tunnel. They did not inform us much info about the different palaces. They didn’t really talk about the Genoise culture, palace designs and the commentary on Christopher Columbus was limited. We both found it boring and difficult to follow.

Don't Hop on Hop off in Genoa

The experience was poor. €25 each for an hour of only partial historical buildings and not enough detail about the history. The pre-recorded narrator often doesn't give an indication where to look when describing historic building or areas etc. There are large expanses of time where all you can hear is music indisperserd with American "game show host type" voice talking about the experience. The driver and fare collector were not particularly friendly and gave no one time to sit before taking off like a rocket. Save your money. We were able to see most of the historical sights on foot.

Fantastic excursion for...

Fantastic excursion for cruise travellers, stop is right outside the port and is a brilliant way to explore the city and the surrounding areas.
