Magical scenic route to Portofino

Google Maps takes us to the wrong meeting point. You must not go to the stop under the viaduct where the scooters are! When leaving the port, you must cross the street and the stop is located on the other side of the street..VERY BAD DIRECTIONS.YOU SHOULD WRITE BUS TO PORTOFINO. Or pick up the passengers at the exit of the boat

Easy way to travel from...

Easy way to travel from port at Genova to Portofino. Georgia and Martina were great guides - navigating the narrow streets and pointing out highlights along the way. It was nice to have free time to explore Portofino

Breathtaking views in Portofino!

We loved our visit to Portofino and highly recommend! Breathtaking views. We had lunch and walked around taking in the views.

Magnificent village but...

A very beautiful village, but the cruise ships that stop offshore drain streams of tourists all day long, and the prices reflect that. Everything has become overpriced, from parking to ice cream.

Portofino a romantic haven

Nice trip along the coast in an open bus. Can close when the weather is bad. Portofino is a beautiful romantic harbor. Gabrielle thank you for the beautiful day.
