Buongiorno from Genoa! My name is Sandra, thank you for visiting my profile! I am a professional guide working in Genoa, the Italian Riviera and surroundings. I have travelled in different countries for pleasure and work and in the end I fell in love with Liguria, what an unexpected land! I have worked in the tourism industry since 1988, being based in Genoa since 1991, when I became a licensed Tour Leader. I have been working since 2003, as a licensed Tourist Guide, in the city of Columbus and Pesto sauce. I have been living, in this tiny corner of Italy, squeezed between mountains and sea, for decades. Liguria is where I have found my happiness. I consider care in details, empathy, flexibility and a capacity for sharing, to be as valuable qualities for a guide, no less so than having a proper regularly updated cultural preparation. I want to be your host and share with you this beautiful territory. My skills and expertise have been refined over the years and my current activities include giving guided tours in Genova, the surrounding areas and the Italian Riviera. My hobbies include travel, cinema, environment, home style. Being me Italian I love high quality food and wine and being originally from Veneto, I love sparkling bubbling Prosecco! My goal is to help you to live and to understand this peculiar city of Genoa and its surroundings and to leave you with terrific, life-long memories. I look forward to welcoming you soon! I am a licensed professional Tourist Guide and Tour Leader for Genoa and surroundings. I am member of AGTL, the local regional Association for Tourist Guides. I am a member of AGTA, the National Association of Tourist Guides. I hold a EU Green Pass / COVID19 certificate as vaccinated person. I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver. I am not a licensed hiking guide

Overview of your Portofino tour

Your private tour takes you to discover the true ligurian life. We visit Santa Margherita Ligure, not only the "gate" to Portofino, a lovely village by the Tigullio Gulf, pleasant to be discovered in your private tour with a local guide. Afterwards we visit Camogli, the gem of the Paradise Gulf, standing at the other side of the Portofino Promontory. It is a line of pastel colored sea-front facades and green shutters, hanging fishing nets, brightly colored fishing boats, a sun-beaten promenade, a baroque parish church and marble Madonna's votive offering niches, shady cafes and traditional bakeries.

Great tour our Santa Margherita and Portofino by Sandra. She customized a tour to meet some of the limited mobility needs of our older travelers. She was a wealth of information about the area. It was one of the best tours we had and I'd highly recommend her.

Sandra was a wonderful guide. She worked great with us on some special needs. We enjoyed all her knowledge of the area. She even took us to have some local coffee and local bread. We had a really fun day with Sandra. She was one of our favorite guides in Europe. We would highly recommend Sandra for anyone needing a tour guide.
