Experience the enchanting beauty of the Italian Riviera on a private family-friendly day tour combining culture, cuisine, and stunning seaside landscapes. Designed to delight both adults and children, this immersive experience reveals the authentic charm of Liguria—from the peaceful bays of Sestri Levante to the vibrant promenade of Rapallo. Learn to prepare traditional dishes with a local chef, explore colorful coastal towns, and enjoy a relaxed pace perfect for families seeking a taste of la dolce vita along Italy’s most captivating shoreline.
Meet your private driver and English-speaking guide at your hotel. Travel along the scenic coastal road to Sestri Levante, known for its stunning twin bays and pastel-colored houses. Stroll through the historic center or relax on the family-friendly beach while soaking up the Mediterranean atmosphere.
Join a local chef in a traditional restaurant for a hands-on cooking class. You’ll discover the secrets behind Liguria’s most iconic recipes—pesto alla genovese and golden focaccia—prepared the authentic way, just as local families have done for generations. Using a marble mortar, pestle, and the region’s finest ingredients—fragrant basil from the hills, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, and Parmigiano—you’ll learn to create pesto by hand, a true ritual of taste and tradition. After the class, enjoy a leisurely lunch featuring your homemade creations, complemented by regional specialties and wines.
In the afternoon, head to the elegant seaside town of Rapallo. Take a pleasant walk along the palm-lined promenade, explore the old town’s colorful streets, and enjoy a coffee or gelato overlooking the sea.
After a memorable day of food, fun, and coastal beauty, your driver will bring you comfortably back to your hotel.
