Portofino Shore Excursion - This walking tour allows you to explore one of the most famous and beautiful ports in the world. You will learn about the charming town as your guide leads you to panoramic views and the town's top sites.

Portofino has long been a capital of high society and the so-called 'jet set', but it is much more than that. It is a bay and village of astonishing beauty with an important natural pier. It offers lush Mediterranean hillside forests and a charming village loaded with history and beauty. Portofino began as a Phoenician port, then was ruled by Rome and finally served the Republic of Genoa. It is a cultural meeting point and has been loved by writers and philosophers such as Nietzsche, Maupassant and Truman Capote who all lived here.

Your walking tour of Portofino includes the Oratory of Santa Maria Assunta, where it is possible to see the traditional Cristi, a huge Crucifix that is carried through the town by the faithful during religious processions.

You will also visit the church of San Giorgio on top of the promontory, with its extraordinary view down onto the village.

You will walk to the Lighthouse, through the verdant Regional Park and up to a terrace outlook facing the tranquil Tigullio Gulf. By the time you have finished with your private guided tour you too will understand why this place is so highly regarded and famous the world over.
