Hi, I'm Donatella and I'm a great fan of my land, Liguria. I started my business in 1994, in Genoa, where I was born: over time, I have enriched my skills and I have tried to offer an increasingly engaging experience, both in the city and along the entire coast, in particular the Tigullio , a wonderful area where Portofino is the most famous location, but there are many others, such as Rapallo, Santa Margherita, Sestri Levante. Or the enchanted landscapes of the Cinque Terre where the sea touches the mountains, where the beauty of small villages like Manarola make visitors from all over the world dream. I am passionate about cooking and I will be happy to let you taste Liguria with its simple and refined flavours, toast with a good wine, perhaps watching the sunset over the sea, as well as visit the historic shops and go shopping at zero kilometre, with authentic products, local crafts and art. Whether you have a lot of time or little, you can enter the spirit of Liguria! I will accompany you along ancient streets that tell the story of Genoa, where famous people such as Christopher Columbus, Nicolò Paganini and the great noble families made the history of the city, you will be enchanted by the unforgettable views from a panoramic terrace, where the seagulls fly , or looking at the wild coast of the Riviera, you will enjoy living in contact with the life of the locals, listening to their stories, learning about their traditions, singing their songs, experiencing the local cuisine, taking home the memory of a unique experience! GUIDA TURISTICA DI GENOVA ACCOMPAGNATRICE TURISTICA I am not a driver.

Highlights of Rapallo, Santa Margherita and Portofino
Overview of your Portofino tour
Tigullio is a very scenic part of the Ligurian coast, with a long tradition of high-level hospitality. With this tour, you will discover three different locations, which although close to each other, are different and very fascinating. Rapallo, the largest and most populated center of the three, a cheerful town with a beautiful panoramic walk and a very lively historic centre, with many historic shops, scents and flavors of the Ligurian tradition, the possibility of seeing with your own eyes the life of the locals. Santa Margherita, very refined and elegant, characterized by rich and sophisticated architecture, high-quality shops, aristocratic palaces and sumptuous churches. And finally Portofino, the pearl of Tigullio, "the place to be" for years and years, with its iconic "Piazzetta" surrounded by beautiful colorful houses, its narrow streets and breathtaking views, in a mix of ancient traditions and international glamour.
