Myself, daughter and my daughter-in-law went on the lake Como day tour with our personal guide Shaine. Each place he took us to was beautiful. We never felt rushed at any of the stops. He was very patient to let us walk around and enjoy the town At Lake Como Shaine recommended we take a hike up to the lighthouse to see the whole city. He warned us. It was a strenuous hike and he was right. We all had a good laugh out of it as we stopped a couple times to catch our breath, but it was a beautiful view. I would highly recommend the hike. . Shane went above and beyond for us. Being that we were three girls by ourselves two of them in their mid-20s he wanted to make sure that we were safe and made it back to Milan without a problem. My daughter and daughter-in-law wanted to stay longer at Como so Shaine stayed with us to escort us back to the hotel even canceling his plans with his friends, so we weren’t left alone. I would not only recommend this tour, but I would recommend Shaine as your guide.

Response from Host, Jun 2026
We’re so glad you had such a wonderful experience and enjoyed exploring the city with Michela! It’s lovely to hear everything felt seamless, informative, and engaging from start to finish — thank you for your recommendation.
A great time - seeing Lake Como, being out on the lake in a boat, and also stopping at a small town port on Lake Como to go visit that town, see an old church, and have lunch with a great view of the lake and experience a wonderful example of what small town life is like living on Lake Como. Also, our tour guide Andrea was excellent and new a lot of information - not just about Italy but also many countries and took us for a wonderful personalized tour that was extremely worthwhile and a great time for our family.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Exploring the lake by boat, visiting a charming town, enjoying a scenic lunch, and experiencing the beauty of local life all sound like the perfect day. We're especially glad to hear that Andrea made the tour so special with his extensive knowledge and personal touch. It’s always wonderful to know our hosts are creating meaningful, tailored experiences for families like yours. Thank you again for choosing to explore with us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. And thank you so much for sharing your experience!
My tour guide was Reza, and he was absolutely amazing! Being on a solo trip in Italy for the first time, not speaking an ounce of Italian, I knew I may face a couple of challenges. So when it came to touring Lake Como, I decided to book this private tour and happy I did. I couldn’t have expected the sheer amount of crowds and chaos that we would experience, and if I would have tried to maneuver through this alone, I most likely would have turned right around and left Como.
Reza had the transportation hashed out from the train, to busses and a subway, he had chosen some great landmarks to go see, and was able to think quickly and provide new suggestions when we experienced roadblocks where tickets were sold out. He was energetic, knowledgeable, and fluent in English so it helped tremendously that he was able to communicate with me and the locals seamlessly. I’m so happy I went this route, I learned a ton about the city and landmarks along the way, and took a billion pictures to remember them all.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Reza helped turn what could have been a stressful day into a smooth, enriching, and memorable experience in Lake Como. His energy, quick thinking, and local expertise truly make all the difference, especially for solo travelers. We’re so glad you were able to enjoy the city fully and come away with great memories (and photos!).
If there’s anything else we can do to help with future adventures, just let us know!
We had a very pleasant experience with our guide Marco. We learned much history of Como and were take to a beautiful authentic restaurant with a view of the lake for lunch. Would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thrilled you enjoyed a lovely day with Teo, creating delightful memories and capturing lots of nice pictures!
Great way to see Lake Como if you can spare one day of your vacation. Nice introduction to that area. Marco, our tour guide, was very informative and fun to be around.
Illy our your guide was exceptional. It felt like we visitors Lake Como with a friend. She was so knowledgeable and helpful. We saw places that a normal tourist would not have even thought to explore. She even helped us navigate the transportation strike that was pending for our trip to Venice. Highly recommend this trip.
Marco was absolutely amazing! Very kind and incredibly knowledgeable about everything we could have wanted to know. We got to see all kinds of wonderful things and ate the absolute best food. Marco listened to to our needs a definitely catered to them. We will even stay in touch with him! Couldn’t have been better

Great experience. First time visitor to Lake Como and Massimo was a great guide sharing his insights and local area knowledge as we made our way on the lake and when we had certain stoppages. Have collected great memories from a brilliant day and will return one day. Highly recommend.
What an amazing day! My husband and I had the most wonderful experience with our guide, Sergei. He was informative, friendly, funny and overall an exceptional guide who took us throughout Lake Como for the day. Even with some train derailments, he kept calm under the pressure and figured out a new route for us, getting us home safely. The sights were beyond beautiful. We will definitely be returning.
Fabulous day with our guide Marco Michel. The Como lake is beautiful Quiet and paceful day! To do absolutely. Fabuleuse journée avec notre guide Marco Michel, qui nous en a appris beaucoup sur cette superbe région. Journée calme et paisible. A faire à tout prix!
