Laura was a local expert who walked us through the highlights of Como! She had a very relaxed presentation style and answered all our questions. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour with my family and would highly recommend!

Great way to see Como and learn about its history. Our guide was really knowledgeable and from Como.
Violeta was great. Nice tour!
Violetta was a brilliant tour guide. She was really knowledgeable about the local area and informative
On our first day in Como we took the walking city tour. Our tour guide met us at our meeting spot right on time. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Como and guided through the town seamlessly. She was friendly and charming and gave us a wonderful appreciation of the city, its culture and history. If you want to really appreciate Como this is the tour for you. It’s a great introduction to an amazing place and its people!
Violeta was a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide. It was our first full day in Como and we really enjoyed our walking tour and learned so much from her. It’s nice to walk the city, but even better with an historian who can point out the details and answer questions. We would highly recommend her tour!!
What a great way to learn about Como while walking around the city. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and offered helpful tips for the remainder of our stay. We would recommend this tour to others!
Violetta was so lovely and knowledgeable about the history of Como. She was very friendly and easy to talk to - overall a great experience! We booked this for our last day of the trip but wish we had done this on our first day as Violetta had lot of great insights and recommendations.
Violetta was so lovely and knowledgeable about the history of the city. She was very friendly and easy to chat to, and the tour was very personable. We booked the tour at the end of holiday but should have booked at the beginning with Violettas insight of where to go & what to do
Great walking tour of Como city. Nothing like learning about Como's history and culture. Violetta, our tour guide was informative and interesting.
