Katerina accommodated a late booking request and gave us a very nice tour of Como and Brunate. She was well informed and personal. We would recommend her to others.
Katerina was excellent and very accommodating. She worked together with us to provide the most amazing experience of the lake and the towns we visited. She was able to work in the perfect amount of history in between our many stops to take pictures. She also knows the most instagramable places!
Thank you Roberto and Mariola for being such wonderful and positive people. I hope that all the rest of your trip in Italy was just fantastic! Best wishes to you and hope to see you back soon! Katerina
