Portofino Cruise Reviews

1.45 hour amble from tender drop off in Santa Marguerita to Portofino along the coast and a little in land at the end. Ferry back. Very enjoyable. ...

Portofino is picturesque but this was my least favorite stop probably because it was preceded by 2 larger ports. I just didn't find a lot to do here after walking around for a few hours. The boat was here all day but we ended up back on the boat by mid afternoon. We probably should have booked an excursion. I am glad to have visited but couldn't think of a reason to return. ...

Lovely town. Be sure to see Castello Brown. Santa Margherita was charming and authentic without the throngs of tourist. It is a short ferry from Portofino and worth the slight effort to get there. Highly recommend. ...

We tendered at Santa Margherita, wandered through the quaint town and rode the ferry to Portofino. Such a charming place! Walked up the paths to higher elevations and incredible views, had lunch back by the water, and walked the 3 miles back to Santa Margherita. What beautiful scenery and the walk was on flat road (we are in our early 60s:)! ...

Portofino is beautiful. Very much an extension of Cinqueterra which we thoroughly enjoyed. Visited Santa Margherita on our way to Genoa. Although it was interesting to visit Genoa, we would have enjoyed spending the time in Santa Margherita and the beach area in Portofino. ...

Enjoyed our time walking around the town and up,to,the castle. A hard slog but worth it. ...

Ended up in Genoa - not much going on there. ...

not much to see or do here unless you go out of town on an excursion ...

Walked around and shopped ...

Fell in LOVE with this port. Ate in local restaurant. My first time on Italian soil. Discovery event visit to Villa Durazzo - Santa Margherita. Fabulous !!!!!! ...
