Guided tours

The Màr offers a wide range of guided tours, carried out by the scientific staff: these include the museum route, the Monumental Complex and the underground passages of the Fortress. Our tour routes can be adapted and modified according to the needs of visitors.

Tours on request can be conducted in English, French and German.

The new programme of guided tours of the Civico Museo Archeologico e della Città di Savona is structured to allow visitors to choose their own way of enjoying the routes and to adapt them to their own preferences.

Short modules and in-depth tours can be added to the basic modules. The short modules can also be done individually or in addition to an in-depth study.
