About this tour
This call points out a handful of small squares and chapels hidden within Genoa's caruggi, easy to miss without knowing exactly where to look. Andrea, who studied the quarter's urban history, uses shared photos to show details a passing walk would miss entirely. It stays focused on specific, easy-to-miss spots rather than a general overview.
The call opens with a shared map, and Andrea points out each spot in turn. He answers questions throughout and sends a short list of locations afterward.
This suits anyone planning to explore the caruggi on their own and wanting a list of specific spots first. It also works well after the fuller alleys session.

- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
