About this tour
This evening session covers the caruggi's bars, a side of Genoa's medieval alleys that daytime walks never quite show. You see a stretch of alley lined with small bars and a square where an evening crowd gathers outside the busiest ones. Elisa, who also covers the daytime hillside terrace, compares this livelier scene with the calmer city she usually guides.
She walks the alley as the evening builds, pointing out how the same streets change character after dark. She answers questions about specific bars and the district's evening life throughout.
This suits anyone who wants to see Genoa's livelier evening side. It works best booked for the evening, when the alleys are properly active.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Rome time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 11 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Genoa, showing you Alley Bar Row and Small Square Gathering live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
How it works
- You get one join link after booking.
- Join from any device: phone, tablet or laptop.
- We connect on Google Meet using the link from your booking. I keep the phone at eye level through the alleys, so the evening feels genuine on screen.

How reviews work
Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
