This was a perfect way to start our visit to Como. Nick did an amazing job orienting us to all the major points within the ancient part of the city including recommendations for shops, bars, and dining. His personal knowledge and experiences made the tour engaging and fun without being pretentious. We can't wait to use all his suggestions for investigating other parts of the city and beyond. The tour company was easy to connect with and quickly responsive to all questions. It was a worthwhile investment!

Disgusting the tour guide operator didn’t turn up! Ruined our whole Como experience! Still waiting for a company representative to contact me! The number they provide is not in service!!!!!!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We are sorry that you were disappointed with your experience. However, we must clarify that our guide was at the meeting point at the scheduled time.
We personally attempted to contact you several times using the phone number provided in the booking, and our guide did the same. Unfortunately, none of the calls were answered, and we never received a callback. We can provide screenshots of the outgoing calls as evidence.
We always do our best to reach guests who are not present at the meeting point, and in this case multiple attempts were made to contact you without success. For this reason, we respectfully disagree with the statement that nobody showed up or tried to contact you.

Greg_Y, Sep 2024
Absolutely awful experience, poor customer service and tour was a total waste of useless information. Do not go on this tour you will regret it, anything else is better.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Hello, we are sorry to read about this review because we have proof that you met with our tour guide and refused to do the tour with him. The tour guide did not even start the tour, you just left him at the meeting point after he greeted you, so how can you say it was useless information? The tour guide did not have a chance to give any information at all! This review has been reported to Viator.
