Our host, Valerie was very friendly, accommodating, informative and communicated well. Because the 6 people in our group were the only ones on the tour, she was able to customize our meeting location and time to fit our schedule. We made an extra stop and took us to the Villa del Balbianello which is a must see destination! This was an excellent tour that I would recommend to anyone in Lake Como for a few days.
We had a wonderful, fun filled day with Valeriya exploring southern lake Como and Bellagio. She is a wealth of knowledge and a great guide. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your very nice revew
The entire tour was fantastic. My husband and I went just after the new year and there was no crowds. The tour guide took us to many famous places and we enjoyed a delicious traditional como lake fish dish at a very good restaurant in Bellagio.
Dear Terry thank you for a nice review! Come back to Italy soon!
