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.
