We had spent. a wonderful day with our personal guide Oleg. He was knowledgeable, patient and flexible as we traveled with three boys ranging from age 8 to 15. Exploring the towns of Bellagio and Varenna with Oleg and experiencing the clear waters of Lake Como was amazing.

This guided tour had just the right amount of guided time and alone time. We wanted the experience of taking the train and ferries, but needed the assurance of someone else figuring out the timing for each. Our guide was knowledgable, calm, friendly, well-experienced to the point of knowing exactly where to stand for the train door before the train even arrived. The weather was not the most ideal for a summer day, but we still got some great photos! I highly recommend this tour.

Renzo was really great guide and very nice person. Especially liked Villa Carlotta and his explanations of the important art work there. Very good trip and so helpful to have someone deal with train and boat tickets and times. Thanks!!!

Truly one of the best guides I’ve ever gone on a tour with, his stories and passion really brought Lake Como to life. The set up of the tour was great, the timing and the locations chosen and modes of transportation all made sense, I had hoped to see other villas but they ended being under construction which I wouldn’t have known until it was too late if I did this on my own. Worth every cent for the experience, expertise, local knowledge, and the peace of mind. Lots of flexibility and time for private wandering and shopping and eating, and not too early a start or late a return. Highly recommend!

The 2+ hour ferry ride was interesting. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful old villas and area scenery. Our guide, Beatrice (I think that is correct) was informative and allowed us to spend time at stops along the way as we wanted. Her English was excellent!

Debbie_S

Great tour! Only one other couple. Guide was knowledgeable and pointed out out the sites. The tour gave us time to shop in Bellagio and the cruise down Lake Como was beautiful and relaxing. I would recommend this tour.

We had an excellent trip to Bellagio and the villa Carlotta. It is a beautiful area and I cannot praise our guide enough. He took really good care of us and was extremely enthusiastic and informative

Sherlene_C

This tour was amazing! I had booked it thinking it would be a small group tour but turns out we were blessed enough to be the only ones on the tour and had a private guided experience to ourselves. My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves and learnt so much during the tour. our tour guide Pietro was knowledgeably and entertaining. He shared many things about Lake como and the towns in general. We spent a very lovely day with him and we cannot recommend him and this tour enough. I strongly recommend anyone thinking about going to tour Lake Como to book this tour!! We had no regrets at all booking this tour. Thank you so much Pietro for an amazing day and for giving us your time and energy . We will always look back to our Lake Como excursion with you with much happiness! :)
