Visited on a perfect winters day and Como did not disappoint. The weather was perfect. Had some great food and wine at Lantica Riva and a lovely boat trip around the lake. Well worth the short drive from Milan for a lovely day excursion

WordlyTraveler44

Definitely worth a visit. We drove. You must be a good driver to negotiate the roads. Both are beautiful cities. The reasonable ferries are excellent.

Best tour we have done in Italy! Giovanni was so knowledgeable and passionate about the beautiful Lake Como area.

Victoria was our guide and she was excellent. She was a native of Como and very personable and engaging. I didn’t know anything about either village that we visited but learned a lot. The lunch that was included was excellent as well. Victoria went the extra mile when the taxi strike happened during our tour by recommending a private car service that was able to take us to the airport early the next morning taking a lot of stress off so we could enjoy the tour. Five stars!

After some initial confusion, as to what was included, the trip was exactly as described. Our guide, Sarah was excellent. She was educated, informative, polite, and energetic. It was enough structured touring, as well as self directed downtime. The restaurant on Verano was excellent.

Really great tour! Giovanni is a very good guide- knowledgable, interesting and easy going. He made the experience lots of fun. We’d definitely recommend this tour.

The tour price ONLY covers the guides and one brief slow ferry ride. After paying for this tour, they stop for gelato (you pay), a mediocre moderately priced lunch at a place they choose (you pay), plus the extra 35 for the hydrofoil. Your "tour of Como" is told to you while you wait on line for the ferry. You have a brief 45 min-1 hour max time in Varenna and you see lovers lane, a church and a square because you are waiting more time for the group to get gelato. Then back to the ferry line to get to Bellagio where lunch takes over one hour -- walking tour of Bellagio maybe 45 min max. Very very pricey for what it was. Would NOT recommend. Was so difficult to sit with a huge group at a lunch for another hour when we had seen almost nothing to speak of... Guides were lovely, kind and knowledgable. BUT Don't do this. Most expensive tour of our trip and we did a private truffle hunting tour with a cooking class, food tours, private Uffizi tours and visited cheese farms with lunch, the Bernina train into the Alps and tasting as well as vineyards. This was so much more costly, with very little in its experience factor...

Bellagio was very lovely and the risotto ossobuco at Seta was as good as Giovanni said. Much too long a wait for the ferry at Como n it cut short the time we had. Varenna was way too rushed. If not for a entertaining guide, I’d have given this a below average rating

Holly_R

Giovanni was an excellent passionate tour guide. His love of Italian history showed in the details of his explanations of each stop. The high speed ferry was late and Giovanni was able shift and cover all spots included in the tour. Great thinking on your feet Giovanni!!
