We had the absolute... - We had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day with Renzo as our guide for a Lake Como tour, and it was easily one of the most memorable highlights of our entire trip. Born in the hospital right in Como and having lived here his entire life, Renzo brings a rare depth of local knowledge and pride that shines through in every story he tells. With a university education in history, he brings the region’s past to life in a way that’s both insightful and entertaining.
Renzo curated the perfect day — a seamless blend of iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and authentic local experiences. His storytelling was captivating, his timing impeccable, and his warmth and humor made the entire experience feel personal and relaxed. We never felt like tourists — we felt like guests of a close friend who truly loves where he’s from.
If you’re planning a trip to Lake Como, do yourself a favor and book a day with Renzo. He’s a true local treasure and an extraordinary guide. Highest recommendation.

Said yes to this tour! - This was our first visit to Lake Como and Andrea, our guide, made it a fun and informative experience. The boat ride offers views of celebrity villas and a peek at life on the lake, while free time in stops like Bellagio leave plenty of time to wonder (and shop).

Great day with our own personal tour guide - Unlike some other tour companies, Your Travel Diary will run their tours no matter how many people have signed up. This was listed as a small group tour and it was small, just my husband and myself. We spent the whole day with Emilio and he was wonderful. We did have some free time for lunch on our own in Bellagio, but otherwise he was with us all the time. I think we were perhaps supposed to have some free time in Varenna, but since he realized we weren't shoppers he took us on a walking tour of the town to some historic old churches. I think my only complaint is with Viator. The tour said that the tour would end back at the train station where we started which was near our hotel. All the tours I booked in Milan were supposed to start and stop near our hotel. We found out from Emilio in the morning that the tour was going to end at the other large train station in Milan. He went above and beyond and not only helped us buy our subway tickets to get back to the original station, but he went with us on the subway to make sure we got back to where Viator said the tour ended. This cost us money for the subway tickets, but also cost Emilio his own money by taking us all the way back there. We would have been happy if all he did was to help us buy the tickets, walk us to the correct subway train, and tell us which stop to get off, but he was awesome to go all the way with us.

Wonderful day on Lake Como - We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Renzo. Due to train issues in Milan, Renzo had to go to plan B! He had us bye pass the Cardova Station and take the train from Central Station. This cost us 40 minutes. We made it to Como in time for the 10:00 boat. Renzo decided to wait for the noon boat because if the possibility of rain. We toured the beautiful town of Como. Had coffee and pizza before boarding our boat to Bellagio. Renzo explained the history of the lake and the area. He pointed out interesting sites along the lake. He walked with us in Bellagio giving us a tour before leaving us to explore on our own. Renzo explained the trains for our trip the next day through Central Station, which helped us immensely. Overall, the trip was great. I would recommend it.

Good tour! - Learning of the history of the Lake, the people and the various architecture. Probably could skip the extra time in Varenna and just get there in time to catch the train back to Milan. Bellagio more picturesque and more to see and do there
