Guide #66429
Ciao and welcome to Genoa! My name is Loredana, I have been working for a long time as tour manager for tours throughout Europe and in 2004 I became an authorized local guide for Genova and its surroundings. I love my city for so many reasons. . . the history, the character of the people - not all Italians are alike! - the feeling that this is still an authentic place where you have a surprise at every corner. I love the monuments, of course, the beautiful elegant palaces part of the UNESCO heritage since 2006, as well as the ancient shops still proudly run by the same families that opened them maybe 100 or even 200 years ago. You really need to lose yourself in the alleys of the old city, the largest medieval center in Europe. There is always something to discover in "the vertical city" that was once a powerful Republic and is now one of the main ports in the Mediterranean. In the surroundings, in less than 1-hour drive you can reach the Riviera: Santa Margherita Ligure, Portofino, Camogli: in the past fishing villages, today fascinating towns displayed along the coast like gems under the Mediterranean sun. All my tours can be customized according to your preferences. Please do not hesitate to ask! My credentials: - CAE Certificate - Cambridge 1996 - tour manager on European tours since 1996 - licensed local guide in Genoa and surrounding area since 2003 - 3-year experience in local tour operator (back office)

Loredana is a perfect guide: superb in every way. Loredana’s gift for hospitality was evident from the start both in conceptualizing our tour and after we met and began our time together. Loredana strolled us through the gorgeous thoroughfares and alleyways of Genoa laying out the histories of palazzos, churches, piazzas, and monuments at every turn. Food, customs,...
Loredana was very enthusiastic and knows the area through and through, we did a tasting of foccacia bread, wonderful btw. We also went to a Pesto store (it is reported the BEST one!) we then tried the Pesto...amazing.

Thank you so much for your review Michael! It was a pleasure to meet you, I am glad you had a nice time in my beautiful city and also that you appreciated the food! I wish you all the best. ARRIVEDERCI!
It was a pleasure to spend time with Loredana on the Genoa Old City Highlights tour. She is obviously an experienced guide and provided us with an enormous amount of information…she was kind enough to fill in for our scheduled guide at the last minute due to illness. We always uses toursbylocals. Recommend!

Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate! It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife.
This was absolutely perfect for us. It was informative and interesting with just enough of both history and anecdotes to grab our attention and hold on to it through the entire tour. We had my 86 year old father with us and although he normally does a lot of walking on his own, we were concerned about cobblestones and stairs. None of our concerns were realized and he...
