Activity itinerary

Do Eat Better Experience (Pass by)

On our gastronomic tours in Genoa, you’ll have the chance to taste some of the city’s most iconic dishes. With the traditional tour, you’ll explore the flavours that have shaped Genoa’s culinary history, from the famous pasta al pesto to cheese focaccia and more, enjoying at least four stops at typical restaurants and historic take-away spots. Our street food tour focuses on the city’s best-loved quick bites, guiding you through the most famous street food, from crispy focaccia to the delicious fried fish cone. For those looking for something a bit different, the gourmet food tour lets you taste traditional Genoese dishes with a modern twist, visiting both historic restaurants and contemporary city bistros, and discovering new takes on the city’s favourite flavours.

Chiesa di San Pietro in Banchi

  • 45m
A taste of Genoa’s most iconic sauce, pesto, is included in all three tour options. The classic basil pesto sauce was born in the city, and you’ll enjoy the authentic recipe made with fresh local basil, pine nuts, and other traditional ingredients.

Cattedrale di San Lorenzo - Duomo di Genova

  • 45m
No visit to Genoa is complete without tasting the famous focaccia with cheese. This speciality from Recco, a small village near the city, features two thin layers of dough filled with creamy Stracchino cheese, offering a soft, gooey, and unforgettable bite. This delicious treat is included in all three tour options.

Piazza delle Erbe

  • 45m
Focaccia is a true staple of Genoa, and a must-try for any food lover. You can enjoy it for breakfast, as offered on the gourmet tour, or anytime during the day, just like the locals do, as included in the other two tour options. Soft, golden, and slightly salty, this iconic bread captures the heart of Genoese tradition in every bite.

Piazza Raffaele De Ferrari

  • 45m
At the end of the tour, you’ll enjoy a sweet finish. On the gourmet tour, this could be a traditional dessert from an historic pastry shop, while on the other tours, a refreshing artisanal ice cream made with the finest local ingredients is served, a delicious way to conclude your taste of Genoa.
