Great tour. Lots of fun - The tour was great! We started with a 1 hour boat tour around the lake which was beautiful. Then we took a walking tour around the city with the same tour guide. The trip was beautiful and very interesting! Lots of good information about the area, restaurants, good shopping, interesting history, etc. I highly recommend it!

One of the best walking tours I’ve had - Tours are good or bad depending on the guide. Giovanni/George was fantastic. He gave us a little history, a little culture, a little architecture, and some current recommendations. One of the best walking tours I’ve had. The ferry ticket is good for one round-trip ride to Syria {I recommend a stop at Cernobbi) after the tour OR later in the afternoon.

Fabulous Lake Como - Our guide was wonderful- very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We loved the walking tour, but the icing on the cake was undoubtedly the lake. Beautiful beyond compare, cute little towns nestling on the shores and on the slopes… stunning

Wanted more information during the tour - Highlight of this trip was definitely the lake cruise! I wish the tour guide had more trivias/information to be shared to the group. We felt like she didn't really elaborate and didn't really learn as much as we could from the tour. It was more of like a plain stroll around the town considering we paid good money for the tour. She was really nice but wouldn't really do it again. Sorry.
Recommendation: I would skip the city tour and just do the lake cruise.
