You'll see the main highlights in the city including UNESCO heritage sites, through the eyes of Antonella Cama, a local who loves to share not only the popular but also the authentic and believes that a tour must be more than dates and figures: She'll take you by the hand into "her" Genova!

• Stories of the inhabitants of the opulent medieval residences
• The interiors of Genoa’s richest church

Great way to explore a new city. The audio was clear and the timing and pace were perfect. Really got a great sense of the history of Genoa.

A good tour for an excellent price. I didn't realize that a group could use the same code/purchase so we each paid.
It takes a while to download the app but was straightforward. Overall it was an interesting tour.
