Nicollet was great. Very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. We learned a lot and how to make what is now known as Robbie's Best Pesto!

We had an amazing time with Cristina yesterday touring portofino while on our honeymoon! We got lucky and it was just my wife and I on the tour because it’s towards the end of the season but regardless the group can only be 8 max! Cristina was so fun, welcoming and informative and I highly recommend doing this experience rather than just going to portofino in your own!!

Christina was awesome, highly recommend! We took ferry from Santa Margarita to Portifino. We enjoyed seeing the sights in Portifino and making pesto was a blast, and tasty too!

We had an excellent experience on our Portofino tour. He was an outstanding guide, and took us to all the important locations and agve us plenty of time for pictures, etc. The Pesto lunch was incredible in a floating restaurant in the middle of the Portofino Bay. Great drinks, great food, great location. Definitely a must-see tour.

What a fantastic experience and Francesca is truly one of a kind! She is so knowledgeable and made the tour so much fun for our family. Our girls (ages 13 & 16) loved making the pesto and all of the cool places Francesca pointed out along the way. Absolutely a perfect way to see Portofino with a lovely guide! So glad we did it. Don't miss this tour!
