2.Food Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 150 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $93

Sample Como specialties on a 3.5-hour guided walk with wine, pizza, polenta, gelato, and espresso near Piazza Duomo.

“Janis is warm & informative!! It’s obvious she loves what she does!! The first stop was a wine stop, unfortunately you only get to pick one beverage. It would be great if they provided small samples of each. The pizza place was good. The lunch place provided an array of food, it was nice to try a sample of each. The gelato was yummy as was our coffee stop. All in all Janis did an excellent job showing the group local hot spots. I recommend this tour, especially if you only have a few days in Como. Thank you Janis for your passion, your enthusiasm was very much appreciated! 🙏🏽”

“This was our first time in Italy, and booking a food tour and Villa Balbianello tour with Elena on our first day in Bellagio was a stroke of good fortune. She was an amazing tour guide, the food was incredible, the boat ride bellisimo, Elena is as knowledgeable as she is personable. Would recommend this to anyone who wants a tour from someone who loves her job and loves food. Wear good walking shoes and an appetite, you will need them.”

Taste cheeses, pastries, and pasta on an e-bike ride from farms to lake viewpoints in Bellagio, with lunch and hot drinks included.

“Group of 5 riders all physically fit but not experienced bikers. The views and the stops were exceptional but we were not given sufficient instructions for the bikes and most of the ride is up hill! the description for this tour should explain the level of biking experience needed and the incline of the terrain. The first 20 minutes is straight up hill, very difficult if bike is not operating correctly. Too difficult for many but worth the effort if informed of the skills needed.”

“Sabrina was great and very knowledgeable. We felt the name of the tour was misleading- there were only 2 food stops and previous food tours we have been on included a lot more food. Also it was very long due to travel logistics and long waits. Still we felt we learned a lot about Bellagio and history of the area.”
