The trip was truly amazing and our tour was incredible! Violetta was not only knowledable she was a lot of fun to be with. Very attentive to everyone and gave great recommendations for after the tour.

We had an easy walk through Como filled with interesting facts. Explanations not only covered the significant sites, but also the history of the area. We even got extracurricular tips on future places to see and eat. We took the suggestion to go to Bellinzona, Switzerland and see the three magnificent castles there. Had a good, but somewhat expensive lunch in town. Would use their services again in a heartbeat. Good fun.

What can I say about this stunning place? Breathtaking views and scenery, lovely eateries, beautiful weather, put it this way, I filled up with tears it is that beautiful. If you ever get the chance you really must visit. I will return one day to this majestic place.

Cannot recommend this tour enough. Our guide Violetta was fantastic and we had a lovely group of 7. If you want a taster of Lake Como this is a great way to start your trip. The villa was stunning and Violetta provided great information on the area and the history of lake como. She also gave us tips on how to navigate the trickiness of the ferry system and tips on other things to do during our stay. Everything was seamless and relaxing, even boarding the ferry was great as she knew how to get us the best seats on the boat. There is a fair bit of walking, I think about 15000 steps so wear comfortable shoes. 10/10

My wife and I took a tour of Lake Como and had an unforgettable experience visiting Bellagio and Villa del Balbianello. Our tour guide, Violetta, was outstanding! She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic, making the entire trip so fun. Violetta's passion for the area and her insight brought the beautiful sights to life. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lake Como. Thank you, Violetta, for a fantastic day!

This tour was the best thing during our Lake Como trip. It was a hot day and just being on the water was nice, and the towns along the lake were so beautiful. The hydrofoil boat ride was a plus (less time on the boat, more time for the tour). The Villa and Bellagio were breathtaking. Our tour guide was Violetta and she was sweet and fun, and spoke perfect English. She knew where to stop to take our photos. She reserved a table for us for lunch in Bellagio with a beautiful ocean view. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Como / Lake Como, and I hope you get Violetta. Also, it's nice to be on a tour that does not have more than 8 people so you can be close to the tour guide.

Violetta was wonderful, kind, patient, and informative. We had to re-schedule because of logistics, and she stayed in touch and was very accommodating. In this OVERLY busy season (every boat was packed) I would recommend a tour like this to help navigate the craziness. Thank you Violetta!

Valentina was knowledgeable and provided so much information and history on the area! We enjoyed her humor and information. She also provided reminder texts and meet up reminders! We highly recommend this tour!!

Wonderful small group tour with our guide Violetta who provided great insights into the Lake Como area, its culture and its people. We took a minibus to Bellagio as the fast ferry wasn’t working and this provided a different aspect going through the villages on that side of the Lake and learning more about each place. We then had a great guided tour of Bellagio which, having been there before 2 days prior, enabled us to discover parts of this beautiful small town that we hadn’t previously seen. We then went on the public ferry across the Lake to a very busy Lenno where Violetta expertly ensured that we were able to grab a quick bite to eat notwithstanding a rather formidable proprietor! We then made our way to the iconic Villa del Balbianello and Violetta provided wonderful insights into the Villa its history and how it was bequeathed to the National Trust, and of course the Star Wars and James Bond famous scenes. A 20 minute walk back into Lenno to catch the ferry to Como with Violetta ensuring that we got to see the other magnificent Villas and other places of interest along the way. We thought the tour was well paced and the time really did fly by (11.15 to 7.30pm approx.). This tour is ideal for those who are happy being on their feet and keen to get expert insights into the many sights and places along the way. In contrast, we did a larger group tour 2 days prior and whilst that was OK you were left to wander around on your own and as a consequence did not see as much as we could have done, Many thanks Violetta for a great tour

We absolutely loved Lake Como. Violeta was very professional, knowledgeable and industrious. She made sure we had a wonderful day. The bus ride to Bellagio, which happened because the fast ferries were unavailable was enjoyable and we were able to have a different view of the area. The tour is for people who love to walk medieval streets and are able to climb stairs. You will experience the villages and the villa in an authentic way .

Great tour. We enjoyed it and especially liked the cathedral and the lake. Our tour guide was very nice and knowledge about Como.

My wife & I recently took part in this guided tour of Lake Como and I can't recommend it any higher! This tour truly exceeded all my expectations and provided a truly unforgettable experience. Our guide's (Violetta) enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the area set the tone for a fantastic day. She provided insightful commentary about Lake Como’s rich history, culture, and stunning architecture -- making each stop not only beautiful but also incredibly informative. The logistics were flawless with really well timed experiences. Our guide had a master level understanding of the ferry network on Lake Como (We never waited more then 10 minutes on a line, were always one of the first people on each boat, and were always led by our guide to get the best seats). We loved the short breaks in the schedule to rest, relax, shop, eat, or explore. In addition the small group size (4 couples) allowed for a more personalized experience for each person. The entire day was thoughtfully planned, which gave us ample time to explore each location and soak in the stunning scenery without feeling rushed. Wonderful experience all around! Cannot recommend this tour (or Violetta) enough!

We went on this tour in July 2024. It was a great tour. Violetta was very informative and friendly. There is a lot of walking and it's obvoiusly hot in July but it was one our best tours in all of Italy.

Great way to get around Lake Como! By taking this tour, you get the skip ferry lines which could save you hours depending on the time of the year. The crowds can be a little overwhelming around Lake Como, so it is nice to have someone guiding you around the towns.

If you have 2 days or less in lake como, this is the best way to see it all. The villa tour is beautiful, our guide Violeta was kind, smart, and informative
