Stop At: La Casa di Colombo, Via di Porta Soprana, 16121, Genoa Italy
The so-called Columbus' House is located not far from the gate of Porta Soprana, just outside the medieval walls. It is probably an 18th century reconstruction of the original medieval building, where the discoverer of the Americas spent his youth. The house was likely destroyed during the bombing by the French fleet of King Louis XIV that hit Genoa in 1684. The building has two floors: the ground floor was used as a workshop by his father, Domenico Columbus, who dealt in wool weaving and trade; the home of the family was upstairs. According to written sources, the navigator must have lived here between 1455 and 1470.

Stop At: Piazza Banchi, Genoa Italy
Located just off one of the most important docks in the city, this was once the site of Genoa’s old grain market, and was known as piazza "dei banchi" in the 12th century due to the money-changers' stalls located under the porticoes of the various buildings.

The most important church in Genoa is the Cattedrale di San Lorenzo. The Genoese cathedral and the artistic representations on its walls gave rise to many legends and curiosities.
Thanks to the relocation of the cathedral and the construction of the walls, the area of San Lorenzo became the heart of the city, which grew and changed: in a city without squares, the parvis of San lorenzo offered a fundamental stage for the social and political life during the Middle Ages.

Covered a lot of ground and the guide gave interesting commentary throughout. So, even though we had already walked some of these streets we really enjoyed the tour.

This tricycle tour was really great, more than we expected. Our guide Lupe was very well educated, kind and polite, explaining us about Genova’s historical power in the past. And a lot details about Genovese people through the history. My sister and I was with her son, 4 years old, but even he was interested in all parts of tour because it is made with great sense of interest dinamic.
So, I recommend to everyone to try this guided tour experience with Lupe and TripAdvisor.

Our tour guide was extremely pleasant and knowledgable. My sister and I are both well over 50 and learnt so much from this young lady. For example the origin of the words Jeans and Denim 😄 as well as lots of litte secrets about this awe-inspiring city we could never have learnt from any book. So in the spirit of ESC I say: TreeCycle Tour…..ten points!

We booked this tour and it was great. We had 4 rickshaws, 8 people.
It was fun and a great way to see the city. We had Luca, Fran, Raul and 4th rider (name escapes me).
The were very knowledgeable about the area, funny and safe on the streets.
We definitely would ride again. My 80 year old mom felt comfortable and it gave your feet a break.
Good job

This 2hour historical tour of Genoa was worth brilliant. We were taken to places we’d probably never have seen, if by ourselves. We were also given marvellous insights into the amazing history, culture and character of this fabulous city - thanks to Lupe, our extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide.
We thought the tour was money well spent.

Perfect tour of Genoa. Guide Lupe was excellent and informative. Couldn’t have booked anything more enjoyable in Genoa as this takes you on tour with back streets and places you won’t see by car or bus.

Annalisa was an excellent tour guide and she was able to get us to many memorable sites. I think this is the best way to see Genoa in a short amount of time and without doing a lot of walking.

You cancelled two bookings in a row. Very disappointing. I have nothing more to add since the rides were cancelled by you.
