Portofino Walking Tour & Rapallo Pesto Experience
In the morning (around 9 am), you will be picked up from the hotel by a private car or minivan
and transferred to Portofino, where you will meet your
professional English-speaking tour guide. The day begins with a guided walking tour of this beautiful village,
considered the pearl of the Tigullio’s area and a renowned VIP location.
Stroll past the colorfully painted fisherman’s houses that now host elegant boutiques and bars,
and enjoy a scenic hike up to the church of San Giorgio and the Brown Castle,
a fortress dating back to around the year 1000 and later used in Napoleonic times.
After the visit, you will continue by private transfer along the stunning coastline to Rapallo.
In Rapallo, a charming seaside town, you will immerse yourself in Ligurian traditions with a
