Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Elisa was great. Friendly and helpful. She is very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend her for Milan tours. "
"Our tour guide, Francesco, tried his best to entertain us, but I think that the tour itself should be modified. Yes, the tour did include all of the items stated in the offering for 6 hrs. Seems like adequate time, but we took 2 hrs to ride the train from Milan to Como and back. Francesco did his best to tell us about some history. The hour boat tour was the highlight. Other than that, we ate a good lunch. I would suggest modifying to include the funicular to have a great view, visit to villa made famous in movies, Bellagio, hiking/strolling in nice areas. If the hours are not enough, then extend the tour hours or start the tour at Como. The current tour format is just OK."
"Tanja is a lovely person and a brilliant guide. She knows the Como area so well she seems to do the tour effortlessly. It was like I was being shown around by a friend. Her choice of restaurant for lunch was excellent! The food was very tasty and everything was cooked to perfection."
"We had a great day with Tanja! She really did give us the local, insider view of life on como. We stayed away from crowds, had a delicious meal, and good conversations. She is great company and engaged with our cranky 8-year-old, making it fun for her. I highly recommend her tour. "
"We had a wonderful guided tour of Lake Como with Tanja! She was calm like the lake, and took us to nice spots away from the crowded touristy areas to be able to enjoy the beautiful area. Tanja was flexible with our kids’ last minute request for a swim in the lake, and she made it happen!"
"We only had one day to see Lake Como and wanted to maximize our time. Massimo created a perfect itinerary and managed to show us Varenna, Bellagio, Tremezzo, and Como, all the while making plenty of stops to eat, drink, and shop. He knows the area well and is extremely organized. We had a fantastic experience."
"We had a great time on our tour with Massimo - Como is beautiful and it was the last day of our honeymoon, so a relaxing day on the lake was exactly what we were looking for. Massimo also went above and beyond in helping me set up a surprise bouquet of flowers at a great lunch spot (he found the place, made the reservation, and set everything up). Very happy with the tour!"
"I asked for modifications to the original tour and Massimo was very accommodating. He made great suggestion for local authentic restaurant for lunch in bellagio as well. "
"Massimo is an excellent guide. He went above and beyond for my family and I to make my birthday very special in Lake Como. I’ve requested a private pick up, a private boat tour of the lake, and a delicious restaurant out of the way of the main touristy area. He exceeded my expectations! Although it was raining, we had a gorgeous tour of the lake which dropped us off in front of the tastiest Michelin guided restaurant. We ate a delightful meal and had the chef prepare a delicious birthday cake for me! Thanks Massimo for making my 40th such a memorable experience. Highly recommend!"
"My day with Tanja was amazing. She is cheerleader and a one-woman promotional machine for her city. Her enthusiasm and passion is contagious. When selecting a tour, I had a few requirements. I wanted something small, I wanted to see more than one village and to take a ferry. This tour was all that and more! In addition to exploring Como and Torno, we stopped at the most magical place for a food and wine tasting. I honestly can’t say enough about Tanja and this tour. I loved it and I loved the lake! Do yourself a favor and take this tour!"

Lake Como's history stretches back to Roman times. Pliny the Younger, a Roman author, had villas here. The area later became part of the Duchy of Milan and saw conflicts between various powers including the Spanish, French, and Austrians.
The region around Lake Como boasts stunning scenery, charming villages, and elegant architecture. The area is popular for its boat tours and water sports activities. Como is a popular town for its cathedral, historic city center, and beautiful waterfront.
Lake Como is known for its delicious cuisine. Local specialties include risotto with perch, polenta, and missoltini (sun-dried shad). Local culinary traditions revolve around freshwater fish from the lake.
Alessandro Volta, the inventor of the electric battery, was born in Como. The Volta Temple, a museum dedicated to his work, is located near the lake and is a testament to his ingenuity.
