Beautiful day out! - Absolutely fantastic! Maria, our guide was full of information and took us to a lovely location with breathtaking views. The food was abundant, fresh and delicious and wine scrumptious! We were very lucky with the weather, we had a great day. Highly recommend this tour.

Great people to work with! - The weather was questionable, and they worked with me. I really wanted to take this excursion, so they offered a different day and even offered a different location in Bellagio. In the end, the rain won out and I had to cancel. They promptly sent the refund.

I met wonderful people—ate/drank delicious cheeses, breads, fruit & experienced a five minute romance w/the local baker. - The intoxicating air—the wind and trees choiring together were hypnotizing as we meandered 4000 feet towards heaven.

Loved it! - Just back from this amazing trip! We had a wonderful time amidst chilly and strong winds, winding roads and none of it mattered because the time was so well-spent! I agree with all of the reviews; Maria and "Romeo" were perfect guides and worked well together as well as our wonderful driver. The views are hard to describe and we're just happy we experienced them. Our group was fast friends which made it even more fun! The meal was a beautiful spread of simple and delicious food in the middle of the foothills of the Italian Alps.

An awesome tour giving lifetime memories. - Maria was marvellous! Not only did she offer a fabulous, friendly and professional service even down to assistance with minor matters, such as help with car parking and even how to pay for this!! She was very knowledgeable about the area and filled our time with informative facts and local information. Then we come to the picnic.... Well what can I say! Again Maria had excelled, chosing foods and wines of the area and the seazon. The spread was not only beautifully presented but equally delicious. There were bountiful spoils...I'm sure I won't need to eat again for days!! 😂 Then there were the views to accompany the food. All just jaw dropping. The location was perfect, I could have sat there all day...and all night! All in all we are so pleased we chose to do this tour and were luck to have chosen Maria to provide it. Well done Maria, you did us proud.

Picnic in the foothills of the Alps - We had a little hiccup with meeting Maria, but she was very communicative and telling us how to get around the roadblock. Once we met with her, she was lovely and very knowledgeable about the area. The food was fantastic and the scenery stunning

Picnic in paradise - This picnic and short hike were amazing with spectacular views of Lake Como. Maria our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She served us a variety of meats, cheeses, fresh fruit, vegetables, and bread that tasted like it was baked that morning. The wine was as delicious the meal it complemented. The setting for our picnic was private and comfortable….and did I mention the view?? I would highly recommend this activity to anyone who visits Varenna.
