Overview

The Do Eat Better Experience food tour is a walking tour around the historical center of the city. The tourist is guided by a "Foodie", a local "buddy" able to explain every detail of the selected restaurants, their preparations, and the relevant history/curiosities.

Do Eat Better Experience tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way for showing Italian culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend. This is the reason why we accept small groups only: we want to focus on a genuine exchange and give to each tourist the highest attention possible.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

During our gastronomic tours in Genoa, you can taste some of the iconic dishes of this magnificent city. Choosing the traditional tour you will discover the dishes that have made the history of the city such as the famous pasta al pesto, cheese focaccia and much more, in a tour with at least 4 stops between typical restaurants and historic take-away restaurants. Our street food tour will take you instead to the discovery of the most famous street food in the city, from the famous focaccia to the delicious fried fish cone. On the other hand, with the gourmet food tour you will discover traditional dishes in a gourmet key, in historical places but also in the most modern city bistros, discovering the Genoese culinary innovation.

Pass By: Cattedrale di San Lorenzo - Duomo di Genova, Piazza san lorenzo Piazza San Lorenzo, 16123, Genoa Italy

You can't visit Genoa without tasting typical Savoury pies: there are thousands of pies in the world, but come taste our best ones into an old Sciamadda (a typical "takeaway" from the beginning of 20thCentury).

Pass By: Piazza delle Erbe, 16123, Genoa Italy

Genoa is a harbour city with traditional seafood-based cuisine, so it's a must try!

Stockfish - cooked with pine nuts, potatoes and "Taggiasca" olives, a special recipe from Genoa!
Anchovies - freshly fished, traditionally one of the most famous fish of our Seas.

Marina was a fabulous host/guide who was very knowledgeable and foods. We had the best cone of fried foods and focaccia at the market, then went to a couple sit down restaurants where we tried 3 different delicious pasta dishes, then focaccias with different toppings in an old cistern restaurant. Then gelato and a chocolate shop. She was very helpful with the history of Genoa also.

Our tour host, Marina, was amazing. The Street food stops were all authentic Genovese and delicious. Marina, herself, was the highlight of the tour because she made the city’s history relatable. I highly recommend this tour.

Marina’s personality made the walking food tour exceptional. The history of Genoa was amazing to learn. Wish we could take her with us for the rest of our trip. The food was a real treat but Marina was the highlight.

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. Valentia was a great guide and a joy to be with. We liked tasting and learning about the local food scene and the tour met and exceeded our expectations. Perhaps my favorite stop was when we visited and sampled three different pastas and sauces at restaurant Il Tondin. We highly recommend the tour and encourage others to give it a try!

Our tour guide Beatrice, a local Genovian, made our tour extra special. The group was small, and our walk through old-town felt like being with a family member. The food included seafood, pasta, focaccia, and gelato was excellent.
