Irina Prokopenko – Guide in Genoa

Who knows a city better than a local—especially when it comes to hidden gems and “secret” spots that tourists often miss? I moved to Genoa 11 years ago and fell in love with it at first sight! Since then, I’ve learned a great deal about its traditions and daily life, and I’m excited to share the most worthwhile corners of this city with travelers from around the world. I'm happy to have the chance to help people make their trips more memorable—because even the same city can feel completely different depending on who you explore it with. Genoa is a complex city that doesn’t reveal itself easily. To truly discover it, you need a sharp eye and curiosity, as many of its charms are hidden from plain sight. I’ll show you Genoa as I would a close friend. I can help with accommodation, plan personalized itineraries, recommend must-see places, and make you feel like a local here. I’ll also introduce you to the Italian Riviera and its most beautiful spots—Camogli, Portofino, and the Cinque Terre.
