Genoa Highlights e-Bike Private Tour — Caruggi, Boccadasse & Via Garibaldi
Pedal through Genoa’s narrow Caruggi, sweep down to the painted fishing houses of Boccadasse, and roll past the palaces of Via Garibaldi on this private 2.5-hour e‑bike tour. A local guide, e‑bike and bottled water are included — ideal for first-time visitors who want fast context and easy climbs.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy shoes
Closed-toe shoes with good grip will help on cobblestones and short stair sections; the e‑bike stops can be on uneven pavement.
Keep your phone charged
Bring a small power bank — mapping apps and photo use drain batteries during a city tour.
Watch for cobbles and tram tracks
Ride defensively in the Caruggi and near tram lines; slow down on wet stones to avoid slips.
Start early in summer
Morning departures avoid peak heat and offer cleaner light for photos at Boccadasse and the harbor.
