I had an absolutely wonderful experience on this hike with my guide Andrey! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the scenery was stunning. Andrey was outstanding - knowledgeable about the area and the trails while also being friendly and attentive. I had a great time talking with him about various hikes we have both done. The hike itself exceeded all my expectations and I came away with a fantastic memories of my time in Lecco. I highly recommend this company and especially any tour with Andrey as your guide!
We did the hiking tour with Andrey today and it was so great! I took my 60 year old mom with me so I requested an easy/ beginner friendly hike and he delivered perfectly! It was a nice and easy walk but still with the most beautiful views! He picked us up in Varenna and we enjoyed the car ride up the mountain as much as we did the hike! At the top he served the most delicious lunch spread with meats, cheeses and freshly baked croissants (Brioche in this region) that he picked up right before the hike. 10/10 recommend. Was a great experience, beautiful views and a great way to get out of the busy city for an afternoon.
We went for another amazing hike near Lake Como — our second one! This time it was a new trail with stunning panoramic views, peaceful nature, and that same incredible atmosphere we loved the first time. Can’t wait for the next adventure!
Andrey was a knowledgeable and patient guide. He was accommodating and good to talk with and the trail is very picturesque. Worth it.
It was wonderful easy hike with mind blowing views on top! The weather was perfect, everything was well organized. Recommend to everyone who loves hikes and nature!
A really enjoyable private tour. Andrey was an excellent guide. He picked us up in Como and we drove for about 30min followed by about 90min of hiking. We chose moderate exertion, but there was also a more mild and flat option. Beautiful scenery and views. A great way to experience Lake Como while getting some exercise. Loved it!
wow! this is well worth the trip. my mom was very adamant about doing a hike near lake como while I pushed for a boat tour. the hike ended up winning and to my surprise, it ended up being one of my favorite parts of our whole week in Italy. Andrey was AMAZING. super genuine, patient & passionate about what he does. it felt like we were visiting an old friend. we all felt very safe and taken care of throughout the whole experience. needless to say, the views were absolutely stunning! highly recommend!!
Hike was stunning, amazing scenery, beautiful weather, and the guide Andrey was amazing! Very informative about the area and you were able to go at your own pace!
At first we were hesitant to go on our hike due to the heat wave in Como. Our guide, Andrey, communicated well with us & tailored our hike to suit the warm weather. He was very pleasant & motivated to ensure our family had a great hike. The views of Lake Como & surrounding areas were simply stunning. I highly recommend Andrey. Our family felt it has a new friend in Italy.
Our hike with Andrey was wonderful! He was great company and very knowledgeable about the area. He gave us a choice between two routes—one around 3 miles with minimal elevation and another around 5 miles with a bit more elevation gain. We chose the 5-mile option and loved the beautiful views and peaceful countryside scenery. For the last half of the hike, we were joined by a butterfly that stuck with us from the top viewpoint all the way down—we named it Mari (short for Marbled White Butterfly). Nature is truly amazing!
