10/10 experience - Violetta & Francesca were amazing! We had a wonderful time exploring bellagio & villa balbianello and learned so much history during the tour. Violetta had great energy and kept the tour very entertaining throughout the day. Even though it is a full day tour it went by so fast!

A tour is a must for an... - A tour is a must for an easy experience visiting various parts of Como (the boats sell out very quickly if you try to navigate on your own). This was a great tour combing the top town to visit and famous sites. Ricardo was full of fun facts and an expert at navigating each area. This is a walking tour, plan for 10k+ steps!

Best Tour Ever!! - We had such an amazing tour with Violetta. She was friendly, knowledgeable, funny while at the same time being very professional and inclusive with everyone on the tour. I have to say it was one of the best tours we have ever been on. Well organized with no delays. I would highly recommend this tour. We ran into Violetta on the train the next day on our way to Lugano. She sat with us, pointed out things of interest on the 40-minute ride and also gave us some hints of places to go and things to see. That is going above and beyond! Thanks Violetta for such a wonderful time. Karen & Mark

Fantastic guided tour - Cinzia was a knowledgeable and dedicated guide who conveyed the history and surroundings in a clear and interesting way. Villa del Balbianello was impressive with its unique location and rich history, and Bellagio was just as charming as we had hoped. Everything was well organized and the trip exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.

Fantastic day on the lake - Our guide Ricardo was accommodating and informative. Provided options for all the different group members and made sure all our needs were met. The tour went smoothly with only the inconsistent ferries to challenge us. The fast ferry up to Lenno was smooth and we saw all the famous villas. The walk to the Balbionnello Villa was a little longer than expected and could be challenging for some. A boat ride back was an option for those that didn’t want to walk. The Villa is spectacular and we were well informed of the history and stories about the owner. Time for a gelato and then boat ride to Bellagio where we had a well selected lunch location. Followed by a short walking tour of Bellagio. It was an informative tour and worth not having to be stressed about ferries and tickets and times. Besides seeing the beautiful lake and surrounding towns.
