Ornella (Guide) and Fabrizio (Driver) made a great team and kept us on track throughout the day. We took 3 young children with us (ages 8, 5 and 3) and we all had an amazing day - THANKYOU
It’s a well organized and affordable way to see some of the main attractions of Lake Como. The air conditioned minibus assembled a versatile, yet cultured and well behaved group of strangers. The bus ride was smooth, Ricardo the travel leader was full of knowledge, which he shared with us on an entertaining and charming way. He had good insights and extraordinary communication skills.
Didi and Maria Cristina were amazing tour guides especially in the hot weather! They did a good job with keeping track of everyone and helping us feel included. It’s very impressive with how many languages they speak. They were so accommodating and our bus driver was amazing as well! Even with a delayed ferry, they still made sure that we had enough time to view Varenna and got us there safe and sound! Didi was so knowledgeable and had a lot of history facts to share. Would definitely book again!
Tour guide very friendly and nicely

Really easy guide plenty of free time. Tour guide alejandro very helpful and easy to understand
What a fun day trip to Lake Como. Our driver Enzo made sure our trip was a smooth ride to and from the lake. Chaira was a pleasant guide throughout our day. We took a public ferry which was comfortable given how windy and choppy the water was that day. And had just enough time to explore and have a bite to eat in Varenna and Bellagio. Chaira gave a great run down of things to do and see as we walked through the main parts of town and then let us explore and do what we chose to do. This was a really well paced tour!
