How do I choose between the different boat tours?

Consider your priorities: for a comprehensive overview, opt for a longer cruise like the Coastal Highlights Cruise from Rapallo. For a romantic evening, a sunset boat tour with aperitif is ideal. If you're short on time, a compact tour to Portofino and San Fruttuoso covers the highlights efficiently.

Are there any food-focused experiences in Santa Margherita Ligure?

Yes, the Santa Margherita Food Tour offers a taste of Ligurian specialties like focaccia and pesto. It's a great way to combine sightseeing with local flavors. For a more immersive culinary experience, consider pairing it with a private sailing tour that includes onboard dining.
