        Interesting, breathtaking, friendly
        Riksja tour. My mum, sister and I went to Genoa, the most wonderfull city we’ve ever seen. The company Treecycle, standing next outside to our cruiseship, recommended a tour by riksja, a citybike that would guide us through Genoa. The girl (Erica) was very helpfull and told us that her friend Luciana would lead us that day. Genoa is a beautifull, historical, breathtaking city with narrow streets and small squares. Our guide Luciana, a warm and kind girl from Argentina, told us interesting stories about the city. Genoa is a really breathtaking city you must have seen. And if you do, please take a tour with Treecycle. It will make your trip complete.

        Great way to see Genoa!
        We thoroughly enjoyed this e-bike tour. It was a great way to see the city and enjoy a beautiful day. We were a little lost trying to find the meeting spot. The “bike shop” is litters just a roll up door. Luca was very informative and took us all over the city. This is an active tour and you need to be able to navigate through traffic and narrow streets. Highly recommend taking this tour!

        Awesome way to see hidden gems
        Amazing experience. I highly recommend this ... especially if you only have a limited amount of time. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic.

        Amazing.
        Everything was great. 1. We emailed several question prior and they were to responsive. 2. We are larger so we booked two vehicles. This was a smart move as we had more space as we were three people. Two adults and a child. 3. The guides were excellent. We had Lupe and Paloma. I am easily distracted and they kept our attentions. They made the history of the city come alive. They were really fun and interesting. 4. We did a two hour tour. We saw so much we loved going through the narrow streets. They made many stops for photos. 5. They helped us find a lunch spot which was excellent. I cannot suggest this tour enough.

        Good way to learn about Genova
        Great tour of Genova with our tour guide Renato. Even though the other 2 people did not show up, we still went on the tour (which was lovely for us because it turned into a private tour!). Renato shared the right amount of history/knowledge - not too much, not too little. The e-bikes were great…especially on the hills! Would not recommend to someone who is not confident on a bike - even though the e-bike makes the pedaling easier, you still must navigate some tight turns and bike amongst groups of people. Renato did a great job signaling to us and making us feel safe. Only small negative was he did not stop to take many pictures, but we could’ve asked for more if we wanted. Would recommend for good, quick overview of the city!

        Giovanni is the BEST.
        The guide Giovanni was great. Very knowledgeable and helpful. The e-bikes took a moment to get use to however he was extremely patient. Best part of our stay in Genoa.

        Fun, informational and relational way to see Genoa
        My husband and I loved the rickshaw tour of Genoa. It was the best way to see key parts of the old city! Paloma was an expert guide and it’s a much better experience than a recorded tour. We learned a lot about Genoa in a short time. We highly recommend this tour.

        A tour full of history
        By the time of the tour i had already been in Genoa for 3 days and had some time to take a few walks around the city. On the day of the tour everything else made much more sense because, Gavino, my tour guide explained in detail the history of the main attractions, why they were there, how people used to live in this city and made me understand in detail the culture of the genovese people. He answered all my questions and showed that he is a knowledgeable and worth it tour guide.

        A wonderfull trip
        We were a party of 6 . Straight off the boat (msc cruise) we book 3 rickshaw for 2 people. The price was fair and well worth it . The tour was a 1 hour tour in genoa and our guides were (eliza,matilda,davidov) were wondwrfull. They took us to all the plces you must see and as it turns ourt genoa got a lot of history. A must take tour in our opinion short ,energy consuming and very good for a sunny and hot days. Eliza was wonderfull and very knowladgeble on history. Plus she took us to a speciality snack bar for pesto and fucaccia .

        Great tour Highly recommend
        Wonderful experience to see the highlights of the city. We will rode down back alleys where I was interesting to see but would have been a wasted walk. David, our guide was very informative. While there were thousands of tourists walking essentially nowhere, we sailed past them. One hour was enough to see see the city. If you are not a walker this is the only way to go. I highly recommend.

        Amazing customer service, unique tour and perfect port excursion.
        I had some initials problems booking direct on their website (my fault, not theirs). I reached out via email and customer service was amazing. Then, the day of the tour, there was a weather delay, and again the company responded with up to date communication. The tour was spectacular and I really enjoyed visiting the winding alley ways that would have been inaccessible to a tour bus. Old town Genoa was amazing and I’m certain I would have gotten lost trying to navigate them by foot. The guide did a wonderful job of pointing out landmarks and stopping for photos. This is a perfect port excision, with pick up only a short walk from the cruise terminal. I only wish I had booked a longer tour.

      We had an excellent historical tour with TreeCycle Genova. We learnt so much about the city - we booked two bikes for 2 Adults and 3 Children and the kids found everything enjoyable as well. Highly recommend booking them when you visit.

      We did this tour while in port on a cruise. We had 7 people total, so our guides followed each other and they took turns at each stop to explain the history and the sites. The tour was amazing! Each of our guides was so knowledgeable, friendly and since they were also from various areas of Italy, we enjoyed their stories of both the city of Genoa as well as where they grew up. It was simply fantastic!! The office was especially helpful with the reservation as I was having trouble with making bookings for 4 rickshaws at the same time. If you have any issues, let them know - they will be happy to help! I would do this tour again!!

      Based on existing reviews we booked this tour for our cruise stop in Genoa. We had booked several (quite costly) tours at other destinations with the cruise line but this 2-hour rickshaw ride around the sites of Genoa was, by far, the absolute best tour of our cruise. Our guide Lupe/Marie was so knowledgeable about the history of Genoa, we learned so much and had a fantastic time. I would highly recommend the tour which was also excellent value for money.

      Today we have done this tour. The experience was beyond expectations. In a 2 hour ride you are shown the finer details of the centro storico of Genua. Because it is by tricycle bike we visited alleys and piazzas that are unable to reach by bus, or even by taxi. The driver is an authentic Genovese who shows his tremendous knowledge (and love) of the city. There is plenty room for questions and interaction. Although not cheap, it is very good value for money. Very recommendable!

      Hubby and I were visiting Genoa during one of our port stops on our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We had spent many days on excursions walking and touring and we were exhausted. We still wanted to explore Genoa and decided this was the best way for us to experience this beautiful city. I am so glad we made this decision. Our guide was so sweet and kind and knowledgeable! She took us to beautiful and important spots while sharing wonderful tidbits and facts and history. I appreciated that she always made a point to stop in the shade and even made time for us to see the city at a beautiful vantage point. I highly recommend this tour!

      Despite the cancellation of the French guide we had an excellent time. Our guide spoke perfect English and this allowed us (especially me, my daughter is comfortable with the language) to take a very pleasant tour of the city and surprisingly without difficulty in understanding. The young woman was adorable and this moment will remain a very beautiful memory. Thank you for the quality of the service!!!!

      Interesting and valid tour especially for those who cannot walk for long periods due to various reasons such as knee pathologies or similar. In fact, it allows you to cross the alleys and stop at the attractions that interest you. Our guide was a well-prepared boy who was tired and sleepy that day... I would tell the organization to take better care of this aspect...

      Nice but a little expensive for the service
      We paid 95 euros for two hours but the last half hour you can see that the person did not know what to show us
      Knowing that from the beginning and several times he told us that he was a little disturbed because we did not make the trip in the usual order
      Something we did not ask because on the site several pick-up places were indicated without specific information

      Our guide Sam was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history and stories of the city.
      He spoke in a way that made you hang on his every word.

      He spoke English in a calm manner which made it easy to understand.
      His tour attracted us to all the beauty of Genoa and it is definitely recommended.

      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!
