Top Lake Como Day Trips

We had an amazing time on this tour! Frencesca, the tour guide, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and personable!! We enjoyed spending the day with her immensely. The tour was small and avoided crowds and the busier places. It felt like we got a more personalized tour and appreciated her firsthand insight as someone who lives in Lake Como. She was great at giving us information but also giving us time to explore how we wanted to. The ability to swim at the beach in Lake Lugano was our favorite part of the trip!! Bring some water shoes because it's rocky, but it was stunningly beautiful. This tour was the highlight of our trip!!

I was nervous booking a solo wine tasting in Como, but I could not have had a better time! The experience was incredible and I got to meet the owner’s son and spend time tasting some of the selection they were deciding whether to sell in their store. The wines were amazing and the staff knowledgeable about the selection and very kind to me overall. It was the highlight of my holiday in Como! I will definitely be coming back.

What a gracious, detail-oriented, fun and delicious experience. We truly enjoyed being welcome to Marharita’s home and learning from her family’s legacy of authentic Italian cooking. We made pasta, meatballs and tiramisu from scratch and had wonderful time getting to know each other! Multa Benne! Thank you!

This sailing trip exceeded my expectations! We knew we would be viewing the spectacular beauty of Lake Como, but what I didn’t expect was the history lessen regarding the prominent villas on the shores of the lake! We not only learned who owned them currently or who previously owned them, but how some of them are still owned by the same families over the centuries. We also learned about 2 different villas that were used in films like Star Wars, The Devil Wears Prada and a James Bond Film! We were able to swim as well, which was refreshing due to the heat. We did sit in the shade throughout our trip, so we weren’t in the blistering sun during our ride. There, unfortunately wasn’t enough wind to open the sails, but that really wasn’t an issue. We were served beverages and small bite sandwiches for our trip, but eat prior or bring enough to eat for a 3 hour tour. We were pleased with our skipper Giacamo, from Florence, was amazing and an incredible historian of Lake Como! We highly recommend this trip, and Cristina was also very communicative leading up to our trip. 100% worth every penny we spent!

Beatrice was wonderful!!!! This was a great and fun class where we made ravioli and tagliatelle. I have never tasted better pasta and I will never buy pasta in a box again! Beatrice was a great teacher guiding us in all the recipes and techniques to make these wonderful dishes. She also shared her homemade tiramisu and gelato that was molto delizioso!!! I highly recommend this for anyone that loves to cook.

What a lovely way to enjoy the morning! Wear flip flops or barefoot is good too! Mich, was lovely and very informative. The lake is beautiful from the kayak. It was not too challenging we were in a double so my hubby did the heavy lifting but it was all good!

If you want to see more of Lake Como and Lugano, a city in Switzerland that borders Italy, in one day, this is the right choice. The guide, Adriano, was very patient and knowledgeable. You have a period where you can just explore the area on your own.

Perfect evening! Anna was a very friendly and welcoming host! She welcomed us with a nice selection of apéritives and wine and made us feel right at home. The pasta and tiramisu making process was really fun and we look forward to making them back at home! Everything was excellent and the food was so yummy! We definitely recommend it!
