Traveler reviews
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.
Perfect day trip to Portofino
Great service from Serena and Gabriele! They offered very interesting facts while on the bus, and played classic Italian music while during the scenic part of the drive! The bus was very clean, and had an open top, it was perfect to take pictures! They were also very timely for pickup and drop off, ensuring we arrive at the port in time! Would definitely recommend! :)
A nice way to visit Portofino
Very efficient way to visit Portofino from Genova. Thr drive to Portofino was along the coast with the top down, very scenic. We drove back via the highway with the top closed. Georgia was our guide and gave great details of the areas we passed on our way down. She and the driver were warm and friendly. Portofino is small and there is no need for a guided tour. We had 3 hours to explore and have lunch. Overall, a good experience.
Beautiful day in Portofino
It was a beautiful day and Serena gave us a good amount of information about Genoa and all the fishing towns along the way to Portofino. You have a good amount of time in Portofino to walk around and move around so take your time and explore and go on the walking trail that’s across from the port! Beautiful day happy that we were able to join!
