Hassle-free and enjoyable - Violetta was an amazing guide giving a lot of historical and societal facts about Lake Como, Villa Balbianello and Bellagio. Having someone handle the tickets to villa gardens and the fast ferry made my day trip hassle free and enjoyable.

A tour is only as good as it's tour guide... - A tour is only as good as it's tour guide... That alone speaks volumes. Violetta was exceptional. Kind, considerate, talented, just a few words that truly do not encapsulate the level of amazing that shes been. She had so many facts ready and lined up for us. She took us to hot points of interest. She allowed for time for exploration. She was very considerate of multiple factors and truly made our experience amazing. She even took the time to help people within the tour book transportation if needed after. She was open to sharing information which made the experience of being in a foreign country so calming. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone. Having her as a guide has made this trip memorable.

A must do, especially if it’s your first time in Como Lago - We had a wonderful time on this you. All the areas we visited were breathtaking with some rich history. The tour was also well paced and it never felt rushed or as if it was lagging. The lunch time allowed for a relaxed meal and then closed the tour with a few more areas to cover.

Day on the lake - Wonderful tour, Elena was excellent. The villa was beautiful and we enjoyed the short walk to it from the village of Lenno. Definitely recommend taking a boat to or from the villa to get the full effect of it.

A great experience despite the wind - Our guide Violetta was amazing. She was very knowledgeable of the area. Even though we were not able to see the original villa due to high winds. Our guide was very adaptable and we changed the tour to see Varenna for a short tour. The overall experience was great, primarily to Violetta’s positivity and genuine desire to give a good tour. We would highly recommend booking the tour.

Excellent tour - Violetta was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and informative. Fast ferry and skip the lines is the way to go! Unfortunate to only spend a little time in Bellagio due to the ferry schedule on a very windy day. Visit to Villa Del Balbianello was a highlight on our 30th Anniversary trip to Italy. Highly recommend this tour.
