Interesting tour, although I did not understand one task. I made many interesting discoveries by browsing the streets of Genova, so I recommend solving the tasks over several days and following your spontaneous intuition. It can be paused. Please point out that you absolutely have to have a battery with you (GPS on, through the whole day). Tour recommendation: -port area (old wooden ship, museum/globe/bigo -outside, so no obligation to buy); Ship tour-> Discover the Lanterna area; ->Elevators such as Balbi, Righi, Observatory, etc.

The guide is very knowledgeable and conveys his enthusiasm and love for his city. For my first time in Genoa it was an excellent idea to take advantage of the guided tour to be able to enjoy the city more.
