We were the only 2 booked for the tour to Lake Como on the day we visited so, by default, this turned into an unexpected private tour. Lucca is exceptionally organized and ensures that all instructions for meeting tour guides are detailed and understood prior to departure. That made for a very smooth tour. The tour itself was also exceptional. Sylvia was our tour guide for the day and we had a driver (Andre?) and his new Mercedes at our disposal for the tour. Sylvia was a great tour guide, very friendly, energetic and informative, who spoke fluent English. She ensured that the itinerary was customized to our liking and pace. Varenna, the ferry ride across to Menaggio, the drive up the lake shore and the restaurant for lunch, were all highlights of a truly memorable day. Spectacular scenery on a warm spring day with Sylvia providing informative commentary along the way. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Northern Italy.

Luca and Silvia were wonderful hosts. We had a great day seeing Varenna and Menaggio. We made a special request to go for a hike and they took us to Val di Mello which had fantastic glaciers and hiking trails. Thank you for a truly unforgettable day during our short trip to Milan. Thanks for making a special hiking trip just for us!

This was a great trip. We were a relatively small group which made it more personal. The group was great as were the guides. From meeting Flavia at the train station to being met by Luca it ran really well. We wasn’t blessed with the weather but it didn’t impact the day at all, you see so much and are given so much information and history. The lunch stop was great and I would highly recommend the barely soup. Divine! The whole day was fabulous and the whole group including Luca and his team kept each entertained for the whole day.! If you are looking to see Lake Como this is the one to book, small group, great guides, what more do you need.!

Our experience with Paola as our guide was simply outstanding! With her local expertise, she showed us hidden gems we would've missed otherwise. The tour logistics were smooth, with clear directions to the meeting point provided upfront. We started with a lovely train ride, setting the tone for the day. Our driver then took us to explore Lake Como's wonders. Throughout the day, we enjoyed breathtaking views and explored a medieval castle. A relaxing ferry ride gave us a new perspective of the lake. Lunch at a local spot was a highlight, with delicious regional dishes. After, we had a nice walk arund the city. We visited local farmer and had a wine and food tasting. Also Paola took us to an amazing shop with hidden wine and cheese basements. Big thanks to Paola and our driver for making our day memorable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lake Como!

Wonderful tour of Lake Como. We weren’t expecting it to be this good! Got the train there and meet our guide, Sylvia, on the train. She was brilliant! She lives there so has a great deal of knowledge. Met our driver, Fabio, at the station. Again, he lives in the area so knows the roads very well. Got taken on a little tour of the area and up to a castle to take in some amazing views. Then on to a ferry to cross over the lake and driven to a local restaurant. One of those places the locals use but the tourists won’t get to. The views were amazing. Photos never do it justice. We made our way to a very old shop (family business for four generations) where they have wine cellars and age cheese and many other bits. That was really interesting. Good opportunity to get some gifts for people back home. There’s more to the day than you would believe. Just a really enjoyable day tour, really well put together by Luca. He was wonderful at helping us and getting us sorted out. Thoroughly recommend using this team. It’s five star.
