The hostess was very nice and helpful. It would have been better if busses ran more frequently and views were better. Also, what stop you were approaching wasn’t always mentioned. I feel like it is overpriced.

Very little of interest to see and do there. Also the stops were not near actual sites. Better on your own if going to Genoa or skip the destination all together.

We have done several of these but so far Rome has had the best one. Genoa was a little underwhelming. We actually found things by just walking around.

This was a great experience that allowed us to see Genoa and decide when to get off the bus to visit something in the city. The bus is really useful especially because I was traveling with my elderly parents that can't walk for too long! The service was great and on time even though it was summer.

Excellent way to get a great introduction to the city and it's sights. We took the first day to see all the options, then the second day we took our time and visited every stop in detail. Even walked to Boccadasse along the coast from stop 4 Caravelle to Fiera di Genova then left along Corsa Italia. Great place to have lunch and a great tour with Viator. Highly recommended!

An excellent way to see Genoa. Go around the loop once and figure out where you want to stop and then hop off and on again after seeing those sites. We were in town all day on a cruise ship so we spent the whole day seeing the city. This was an excellent way to figure out our way around Genoa!

Richard G

This was the perfect way to spend the afternoon seeing Genoa, after a morning in Portofino. As it was a little rainy, didn't get off at the stops but decided just to ride the full 90 minute tour for the extremely reasonable price Great recorded narration with individual headsets. Pick up right at the cruise terminal and return just steps away from reboarding the ship. Would recommend, and if a nice day, to enjoy the stops.

I did not like this tour. The audio portion was way too fast for the bus and I did not feel I got a good sense of the city. I have used the hop-on hop-off tour in other cities within Europe and have been very pleased. If you can find a walking tour, I would personally recommend that instead.

Pretty useless. It was about to stop when I arrived at 1530, so I walked the city seeing all I could see. When I did get on it the next day, there was nothing left to see or do. I took the loop drive since I already had the ticket. But there wasn't much to see and the commentary was sadly lacking in information.
