The Taste Genoa: Full Meal Walking Food Tour by Do Eat Better lasts about three and a half hours and covers around two kilometers through the city. The tour includes at least four stops at local eateries where participants sample traditional Genoese dishes. The first stop features the city’s famous basil pesto sauce, made with fresh local basil, pine nuts, and other traditional ingredients. Next, the tour visits a spot serving Recco-style focaccia with cheese, which consists of two thin layers of dough filled with creamy Stracchino cheese. The third stop offers classic Genoese focaccia bread, a soft, golden, and slightly salty bread commonly eaten by locals. The final stop provides a dessert to complete the meal: on the gourmet tour, this is a traditional sweet from a historic pastry shop; on other tours, participants receive artisanal ice cream made with local ingredients. The tour includes all meals, water, and alcoholic beverages. A local guide who speaks English and Italian leads the small group, sharing information about each dish and the city’s culinary traditions. The tour is conducted in small groups to maintain a personal atmosphere. Guests must be at least 18 years old to participate, and those with severe food allergies cannot join for safety reasons.
