Ended up with a private tour with Renzo- he was super informative and kind, and from the Como area so he made the experience even better. Would highly recommend!!

The tour guide was late. She was hard to understand. She walked slowly and seemed out of breath. Her English was not very good. Everyone left the tour except for one other couple. We met her back for out 6 euro boat tour to the very first stop in Como. We did not get priority admision to the boat and had to wait in the hot sun to board. I noticed other tours viator offered for the same price of 424.00 offered lunch and at least 2 stops on the lake. They were sold out. So this tour as meager as it was with such a poor guide should have been at least half the cost. We are requesting a full refund. We have been great customers of Viator and will not be returning any time soon unless u refund our money. Everyone on the tour complained of the same things. We are not difficult people. A once in a lifetime day at Lake Como fell short. When I mentioned this to the guide she made an inappropriate comment that the pri e was not too high.

We have just returned from a fantastic tour of Como and the Lake. Our guide was Renzo who was very attentive and knowledgeable and kept us entertained with the history of the area on our one hour train journey. It was fascinating to hear all the stories about the buildings and different eras of architecture in Como. The boat ride really is worth doing as you get to see such beautiful views that you wouldn't otherwise. Thank you Renzo for a special day.

The reason I am just leaving three stars is because the title is misleading. We took the train and the local ferry system that stops at the towns in the south west arm of the lake starting at Como. We only got out at Torno for lunch and returned. The views were breathtaking and absolutely worth it but I don’t think it could be called “romantic” if were always with the tour guide and so many people in the boat.

SANGEETA_S

Awesome guide, Valeria Maloni from the your travel diary was awesome, defiantly recommend this tour.

We really enjoyed our tour to Lake Como with Renzo. The ride from Milan to Lake Como went really fast because Renzo gave us a very good detail of the area and historical facts. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day. The tour of the town and cathedral was very thorough and interesting He showed us 3 places for lunch and we choose the place with the homemade pasta that the locals visit; which was very tasty. We took areal nice boat ride and visited one of the islands. I highly recommend this tour.

Richard Z

<p>This was an excellent tour. Both the city of Como and the lake are beautiful. We did a walking tour of Como, then took the boat to two stops on the lake - Cernobbio and Turno. Our tour guide, Renzo, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the area and its history and guided us to shopping and a wonderful place for lunch.</p>

Paula T

Excellent tour! The sights were beautiful with terrific photo opportunities. We visited Como and two other beautiful towns on the lake. The boat ride was delightful. We learned so much from Renzo about the history of the area, from the ancient Romans to the last century and up to the present. Renzo also recommended good places to shop and an excellent restaurant for lunch.

<p>The Lake Como description I thought I signed up for was to see the village of Como and a romantic cruise across Lake Como. To me - and with the picture of this trip - a romantic cruise would have been on the sailboat pictured with only a few people on board.<br/> We took the ferry across the Lake to visit a villa and ferried back for a walking tour of the village of Bellagio.<br/> We really enjoyed it but I felt the information about this trip was misleading or simply incorrect. I would change the description and title of this tour. <br/> Lake Como is stunningly beautiful and the shops on Bellagio are quaint and the restaurant we lunched at superb.</p>

David_R

<p>This was the best of the 3 tours we did in Milan by far - our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and the cruise out on the lake was wonderful - we really enjoyed this tour</p>
