“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 tour gave us an overall familiarity with the various locales on the lake, included an awesome lunch in a beautiful upscale hotel restaurant, as well as an informative tour of Villa Balbianello, not only the beautifully landscaped grounds, but the extremely interesting story of the owner who built it. We were provided transportation from our ferry drop off point as well as useful recommendations as to which boat to take in order to make the tour on time. Worth the price.”

“Violeta is a great guide. She has a true love for Como in particular and Italy in general. We felt like we were walking around this beautiful town with a friend who was showing us around rather than on a tour. She has a wealth of information, she wasn't looking at her watch and we went a bit over the two hours just because she wanted to make sure we say a lot. She even pointed out where we could buy some silk goods and get some high quality gelato. I recommend any tour she runs.”

“You get a link to an app which guides you from site to site via google maps and you press the audio tour once there. It works well and you can stop to eat, shop, or chill, or skip and go out of order. Flexible app to utilize at your own pace and you can ditch the expens tour guides. I can't wait to use it in other cities!”

“This tour is a great way to learn about the history of Como. Our guide Nick was brilliant. The 2 hrs flew by.”
