Como.....a hidden gem
Fabia, our guide was terrific! This is the perfect tour to not only learn all about local foods and unique dishes at the Farmers Market but also the rich history of Como, the town. Walking 'inside the walls' exploring the beautiful alleys and piazzas, stopping along the way to sample the Region's food and wines......was the best! Grazie Fabia.

Amazing
Farmers market tour was amazing!!! Daniele our guide was local to como- so he knew eveything and EVERYONE!!!!!! We ran into his mom and many friends on the tour. He took us to the most amazing and authentic places and taught us so much about the history of como. We ate the most amazing food and drank incredible wine. We loved it!!

Food tour like a local in Lake Como
Daniele, was absolutely amazing. We toured eateries that only the locals know. A great slow walk around the market and town. Perfect.

What a Fun and Interesting Tour!
Outstanding! Our family group of 14 booked the "Walking Tour of Como" with Slow Lake Como. They accomodated our group size and time needs perfectly. The local experience and contacts that Daniello, Fabia and Frederico have at the marketplace and in the local cafes and shops added a whole layer of information as well as wonderful cappuccino, pastries, wine and appertivos. This is not a "cookie cutter" tour. If you want a wonderful insiders tour of Como along with whatever history information you want to know about Como and the lake...book this tour with Slow Lake Como!

Great Food and History
My husband and I enjoyed this tour very much. Fabia was a great guide and shared a lot of history of the Como area while we walked and enjoyed multiple stops. Have a light breakfast before the tour because there is more than enough food. We finished the tour quite satisfied. Special note, I am vegetarian and I was very happy with the options available. We would definitely recommend this!

Slow Lake Como Food Tour - do it
Wonderful tour. Daniel our tour guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and spirited. In addition to being exposed to local foods and wine, we were treated to the history of Como and the lake. We were a small group of 4 which allowed personal attention. Highly recommend and would say it’s good value for money.
