Dreamy Time at Lake Como - This tour was wonderful. Lake Como was beautiful and the views were spectacular and breathtaking. Our tour guide, Lucca, did everything to ensure we enjoyed our time. The stop and tour of the mill was charming. I couldn't believe I was having wine and cheese in the beautiful yard of a resident of this area with great company and a view of the Italian Alps. Take a tour with Lucca and have a great time!

Beautiful day spent in Italy - A wonderful and memorable day was had with Luca! My fiancé and I had participated on this tour on Jul 31, 2023, the day exceeded our expectations. We took in the views of Lake Como, saw sone castles, visited some towns off the beaten track, had a delightful lunch and went to a vineyard. Luca is knowledgeable and informative. We truly enjoyed our day with him and would highly recommend this tour. It is berry organized with lots to see. You won’t be disappointed!

Beautiful off the beaten path visit to Lake Como - Hello- this was a wonderful day! Initially we were concerned that the hours would be long; however, they were filled with beautiful sights, history, food, and wine!
We took a train from Milano to Vernazzo, where the guide delivered us to Lucca, a long time resident of the area. In Vernazzo enjoyed the beauty of the town and the protective fort- which afforded amazing views and interesting history! We took the ferry past Bellagio to Menaggio where Lucca and an excellent driver took the five of us to a very characteristic town/ restaurant for delicious and traditional food — we then drove to the neatest winery and went into the wine caves for history, tasting. We were delivered back to a train to Milan Centrale. This tour was fully and personally guided from Milan to Milan. It was a wonderful and beautiful day. Grazie Manuela for accompanying us from Milan, grazie to Lucca per tutto il giorno, e grazie a Igor (?) our very wonderful and safe driver

Enjoyable outing With Sylvia! - Had a fun day out with Sylvia our guide and an American couple. Our group was small and intimate. Sylvia is very knowledgeable, helpful and fun to be with. Our driver (sorry can’t remember his name) is a very helpful and careful driver.

Lovely tour and wine tasting - This was a very nice tour of an area I probably never would have seen otherwise! We had a relatively small group (7 people) whom we travelled around to different villages near Lake Como. Our guide, Luca, made the tour very personal and gave great details about everything we were seeing. We went to a delicious lunch at an agriturismo (the cost of lunch isn’t included but definitely worth it) and then to a winery for a tasting. Getting to and from on the train was a breeze. If you’re interested in seeing Lake Como and especially the Valtellina wine valley north of the lake, I’d definitely recommend!

Wonderful day of cheese, wine, and great company! - Excellent day! We picked up the tour in Varenna and meet our tour guide Guilla and a wonderful couple-Zac and Rachel who toured with us. Go Buckeyes--small world. Enjoyed the day of traveling to cheese country, with lunch at an wonderful local restaurant, followed by trip to dry stone wall vineyard and winery for tour and tasting. Great fun and exceptional tour guide. Well worth the money and the day7!
