Genoa & Portofino: Daytrip from Milan

About this experience

About Genoa & Portofino: Daytrip from Milan This ticket secures a place on a guided day excursion by air-conditioned coach from central Milan to two of Liguria's most distinctive destinations, covering the full journey in a single ten-hour trip. The guide leads the group from the departure point at Largo Cairoli 18, with the itinerary taking in Genoa's medieval old town, a UNESCO-listed historic centre of narrow caruggi lanes and layered harbour architecture, before the coach continues along the Ligurian coast to Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino. Genoa is one of Italy's largest ports and the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. Its old harbour, the Porto Antico, was redesigned by Renzo Piano for the 1992 Expo and remains a focal point of the city. The guided walking segment takes in the cobblestone streets and dense medieval fabric of the centro storico, with commentary covering the city's role as a major maritime republic from the twelfth century onward. What to expect After the Genoa walking tour, the group travels to Santa Margherita Ligure, where the host provides a boat cruise departing for Portofino. The approach by water gives a clear view of the pastel-fronted buildings clustered around the harbour, a scene that has drawn artists and visitors since the nineteenth century. The guide covers the village's transition from fishing settlement to one of the most photographed anchorages on the Italian Riviera. Free time is built into the schedule, allowing independent exploration of the piazzetta and surrounding headland paths. Each ticket covers a place on the round-trip coach from Milan, the guided tour of Genoa, and the boat trip from Santa Margherita Ligure to Portofino. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.
