Genova off the Map: Street Life & Local Soul

Ciao! I’m Chiara, a professional licensed Tour Leader with over a decade of experience sharing the wonders of Liguria—especially my home city of Genoa—with travelers from all over the world. My tours focus on what I love most: authentic, local experiences that go far beyond museums and monuments. I specialize in customized private tours, from Genoa’s curiosities and culinary highlights to the scenic gems of Portofino, Santa Margherita, Camogli and Cinque Terre. I also create one-of-a-kind food-focused experiences like pesto-making classes (and others), olive oil tastings, and roots tourism journeys that help visitors connect with their family heritage in Italy. I have worked extensively with both groups and private tours, always with an emphasis on quality, flexibility, and a personal touch. I collaborate with trusted local drivers (NCC) and partners to offer private transportation, ensuring a comfortable and seamless experience from start to finish. I believe every traveler is different—and every tour should be too. That’s why I try to avoid cookie-cutter itineraries and instead take pride in crafting truly tailored experiences that reflect your interests, whether that’s food, landscape, or family history. While I don’t focus on churches or traditional art tours, I’m passionate about offering something different: meaningful, memorable days built around real connection, great storytelling, and the joy of exploring Liguria like a local. Transportation is not included in my tours, so you are free to choose the option that best suits your needs and pay directly on the day, making everything easier and more flexible. Let’s design your perfect day. I can’t wait to show you what makes this region so special!
