Excellent Private tour

Michael_T, Aug 2025
Giovanni was an excellent tour guide. He customized the experience based on our interests, gave us choices, and he was extremely courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable about history, regional information, culture, etc. I highly recommend booking a private tour with him.

Great guide, great experience

Jon_T, Jul 2021
My wife and I were treated to a wonderful day at Lago di Como in July, 2021. Giovanni, a local to Como, knows everything about the area, Italian history and more. A consummate professional, Giovanni was truly engaged with us during our tour and answered all of our questions with a depth of knowledge. Unique and excellent experience. Grazie mille, Giovanni!!

Lake Como Guided Tour

Thomas_C, Mar 2019
Giovanni was our tour guide. He was absolutely wonderful. He gave us lots of insights on Lake Como. He took us to places that we wold never visited on our own. He also work tirelessly and our tour lasted almost 8.5 hours. If you only have a few days visiting Lake Como, I strongly recommend a guided tour and a hydrofoil tour to different cities around the lake.
