Como Tour Review - Stefano was great! Very pleasant and informative tour with a small group away from all the tourists. Skip the line for the ferry.

Excellent & relaxed walking and boat tour - We had a fantastic tour with Stefano. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and we learned a lot about como. It was great to see the history and the quieter/ non touristy sides to como. The boat trip was great as we got to skip the queue to the ferry and had the best seats for all the views. It was really great having such a small group for the tour and reciving all the recommendations for the rest of our stay. Highly recommend!

Perfect all-in-one in Como - Sympathetic guide Stefano, great and relaxed tour of the city of Como. Packed with lots of info, quizzes and entertainment it was great fun with the small group (10 people). For both Como and Milan, how many got tips (restaurants, sightseeing, bars, cafes, culture) - also as a file via Whatsapp 👍🏼 On the boat trip over the lake (with a view of the flight school, former Versace Villa and Villa d’Este) there was also a lot to see and learn. A small stopover in Torno was included as well as some beautiful views and photo spots. Group size is ideal, so is the combination of city and lake - the price-performance ratio is just as reasonable!

Very nice combo city & lake - I did a very nice tour with Stefano who is passionate about history and shared a lot of interesting facts with us. We were in a small group, learned a lot about Como and then could go on the boat tour without queuing which was a big advantage. Communication was easy and he shared a lot of tips of things to do and places to go for food, drinks and ice cream.

Small Group, no touristy places, ample free time, not rushed itinerary, great food suggestions, awesome TourGuide - The tour with Stefano was really informative and entertaining. We were a small group and visited beautiful places in Como, and we also went to Torno, a cute little place that wasn't so touristy. We arrived there on a small ship and had a little free time there. Stefano provided us with plenty of cool food spots, which we tried out straight away after the tour. We recommend the tour to anyone who wants to get a good overview of Como and also wants to see a small, authentic (non-touristy) village on Lake Como. We enjoyed it a lot. 🤌🏻🤩 Michelle&Marco

Fantastic - Fantastic tour guide! So informative and showed us some of his favorite local spots in Como. It was a small group tour (9 people) much better than the bigger tours we saw with 30+ people. Also provided a list of must see sites around como and Milan via WhatsApp which is great to use to explore on your own after the tour.

VIP tour treatment! - Oleg was a fantastic guide and showed us all the important highlights of Como and the southern part of the lake. We loved the combination of walk and ferry boat ride. He kept the tour at our pace and offered local tips for shopping as well as for a lovely restaurant on Torno where we had lunch when the tour was complete.

Tour guide was great, but the description was misleading - The tour was fine, and the guide was pleasant. However the description/itinerary was misleading; suggesting that Piazza Alessandro Volta was both the start and end point. The 3.5 hours is only for a short walking tour of como and the ferry ride to Bellagio. You are on your own to get back to Como (2 hour ferry ride or 1.5 hour bus ride).

I do not know where to... - I do not know where to begin. Our tour guide was great, but the tour is not as advertised. The tour said it would be a 90 minute historical tour of como and it was 30 minutes. The ferry ride to Belagio is two hours and with 700 people. You are also responsible for your own way back which is a two hour ferry again, bus or speed boat which doesn’t always run. The advertisement says the tour ends where it begins which isnt true and you are stuck finding a way back. Everyone on the tour was very confused.
