Hi, my name is Natascia, I started guiding tours in 1994 in Liguria, between Genoa, Portofino and the Cinque terre. I love showing the beauties of my country in a very easy way, mixing art, history, everyday life and funny stories, to make people feel the real taste of Liguria. My hobbies are acting and dancing, a good base for a lively communication. I've been working for private tours, tour agencies, Cruise Companies, experiencing how to offer a pleasant, relaxed and safe experience in my country. Among my clients: cruise ship in the ports of Genoa and Portofino (Carnival, Celebrity, Costa, Cunard, Holland America, Mano, Msc; Norvegian, Oceania, P&O, Regent, Royal Caribbean, Seabourne, Seadream, Silversea, Thomson, Windstar). License n. GE 0289 I'm not a trekking guide, I'm not a driver- guide. In Italy there's a specific Licence for each of those professions. All the tours are subjected to changes in the schedule in case of public transportation delays or cancellations, bad wheater conditions .

Overview of your Genoa tour
If it's your first time in Genoa, here's a selection of "must see" you won't regret! After 25 years guiding in town and living downtown, here's my warmest welcome combining art, culture, lifestyle and local taste. Enjoy a stroll and a "time through travel" from the middle ages to graffity, from old marbles to guilded baroque decorations . This experience can be perfectly suited to your needs, depending on how much walk you like, an overview from outside or a deeper insight into old mansions and churches, or a "cappuccino and focaccia". . . What I enjoy most in this tour since so many years? Is when my travelers say: " Wow! I couldn't have imagined that! " and we both go back home happy.

We really enjoyed this tour of the city and learning so much about the history of the area. Natascia was a fantastic tour guide! She had injured her foot prior to our tour, but chose not to cancel on us and still walked all over the city with us in good spirits and without complaint. She has a fun personality and was very informative. Thank you Natascia!

We absolutely loved our tour with Natacia. She was so professional, knowledgeable, and fun! She easily adapted the tour to our specific needs. And she made it fun and entertaining while providing a wealth of information. She answered every question and then some. She was also very generous in assisting us with other travel tips and recommendations for our stay. When we needed to take a rest stop, she added extra time at the end to make sure that we saw all of the important sites. The best!

Touring with Natascia in Genoa far exceeded expectations of this city. We experienced medieval alleys, churches, art & the grandeur and lifestyles of the wealthy/ nobility as well as the humble residents of Genoa. She brought every aspect of the Genoan experience to life. Wow! Natascia is a great guide, an impressive person with a terrific and engaging personality. It was an outstanding day. We highly recommend Natascia - 5 Stars.

We did «The best of Genova», half Day tour with Natascia and it was excellent. As we did not have a lot of time it was a great way to get an overall impression of this beautiful city. Natascha was clearly knowledgeable and her English was excellent. She was very flexible as we wanted to expand our tour with her for several hours. She also helped us when we impulsively chose to stop by a gallery to make a purchase. Thank you, Natascia, for a great day in Genova!
