Amazing! Would recommend - Best experience! Chiara was a great tour guide around Como, showing us the best places to eat. We ate some of the best pizza, pasta, and gelato we have had in our lives, and Chiara was super lovely, making the experience very special for us. It was also eaat to get to Como from Bellagio by bus.

Fantastic Food Tour in Como! - Wonderful experience for our whole family! We lucked out and had a private tour with an incredible host - Chiara! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging with our kids. We really enjoyed the entire experience, chatting with some locals, watching the sunset at the lake, and trying foods off the beaten path.

What a fun tour!! - Thank you, Fabia, for a brilliant tour - we loved how we moved in courses and learned so much about Italian ways of eating. We especially loved the wine, buckwheat polenta, rabbit and ravioli as well as learning coffee counter culture. Cheers!!

A must do and soooo much food - Chiara was our guide and she was amazing. Her local knowledge was great and all of the food stops we made presented us with incredible food. Highly recommend. Having done many food tours over the years I can safely say this tour provided the most food I have ever had on a tour. You will not leave hungry.

Great food tour in lake Como - Chiara was a fantastic guide! Our tour group was six people; 2 couples plus my teen son and myself. Despite a diverse age group the tour was really appropriate and enjoyable for everyone. We got more good/ drink than we could really eat. Chiara made great suggestions throughout and the locations were perfect choices.

Great tour with lots of food - We had the tour with Chiara today and we all liked it very much!! The locations were a good mix, there was something for everyone. Above all, there was really a lot of food, so we went home with full bellies. Chiara was an excellent guide and even gave us tips for going outside the tour (beach on Lake Como). Thanks for the great tour!

Good Food Tour - This was a really good food tour, we started with a couple of snacks and some wine, then moved into a local Osteria for a sit down meal featuring house specialties and finished with desert at a final location. Overall this was a very good experience.
