Overview

Our 2 ½ hour Como Food Tour provides a unique food tasting and cultural experience. Our professional English-speaking guides will give you the local insider view of the history, culture and architecture of this fascinating city, while enriching the tour with delicious food stops.
Admire the principal monuments such as the Duomo, the “Broletto” and the church of San Fedele. Walk and discover more hidden corners in the medieval part of the town.
Pause to taste the flavors most appreciated by locals. Visit a local “enoteca” to sample a selection of local wines accompanied by top-quality sliced meats.
Sample high-quality extra virgin olive oil harvested in Lake Como and learn how it compares to one produced in Southern Italy. Taste delicious fruit-based barrel-aged balsamic accompanied with local cheeses, focaccia and, of course, some wine.
Before saying goodbye, our guide will stop at a local selected shop where you will end your tasting experience with a nice “cono gelato”.

What a great way to see & hear a bit about Como whilst enjoying delicious local Italian food along the way. Josephine was a great guide, very knowledgeable with an equal love for all things tasty!! Small group, intimate tastings at venues (no pressure to buy their products) & topped off by an above average pasta lunch on the waterfront. Highly recommend.

The tour was incredible, and our host Josie was so knowledgeable about both the town of Como and its history, as well as the local food scene. I would definitely recommend if you have a few hours in Como!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our time with Christina touring around Como. She was informative and very friendly. The food was delicious and we ended up taking quite a bit of goodies home with us to enjoy later with our family. Cannot recommend this tour enough!
