Great Tour and a terrific Tour Guide. One of the highlights of our trip! Do not miss the opportunity if you go to Varenna while in Lake Como!

Nadia was a wonderful tour guide who added context and history for what was in front of us. She grew up in the town, so she could also tell us how things have changed. We enjoyed delicious meats and cheeses while Stefano shared his extensive knowledge of three local wines. I recommend this trip, preferably the first day of your arrival.

We met Nadia in the square in Varenna. She was friendly and welcoming. We visited churches, a romantic beach and heard stories about people and life in Varenna. Nadia was so knowledgeable and happy to share her stories. We then visited a local wine shop for a wine tasting. The sommelier was so professional and shared 3 delicious wines and local meats and cheeses with us. Such a great way to enjoy the beautiful Varenna.
