Good to Know

The tour lasts approximately 6 hours total, with 3 hours of free time in Portofino. Meet at the departure point in Genoa - no hotel pickup is provided. Arrive 15 minutes early and bring valid photo ID for ticket verification. The bus is not wheelchair accessible.

Food and drinks are not included, so bring snacks or plan to dine in Portofino's restaurants. Dress appropriately for walking on uneven coastal paths and check the weather forecast. The open-top bus provides excellent photo opportunities but can be exposed to the elements.

If you're planning to explore more of the Italian Riviera, consider combining this trip with other coastal excursions. Genoa itself offers plenty to discover with its hop-on hop-off bus tours covering the city's palaces and historic squares. For a different perspective of the Ligurian coast, Cinque Terre day trips from Genoa showcase the region's famous clifftop villages and hiking trails.
