This was a top notch tour from beginning to end g to end! Seemlessly run and what a beautiful interesting day Luca was prompt, a gentleman. Full of knowledge and detail. What an enjoyable and perfect day! Cannot recommend Luca and his tour any better!
Luca was amazing! He maximized our time in Lake Como to take us to all the best spots. Was so friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time with him so much. He even checked on us later that night as the train didn’t give definitive language on if it made it in. If you want an incredible tour with an amazing person, this is the tour for you!
It was very unfortunate that we had a very rainy day in Lake Como. Nonetheless, Luca made this trip memorable. Instructions were very clear from Milan to Como, and he was very easy to communicate with. Luca was very accommodating and very helpful. He had this friendly energy in him, and he was just comfortable to be around with. We went to a lot of places despite the heavy rain. If I would ever go back to Lake Como, I wouldn’t hesitate to book a tour with Luca again!
Lucas was the best tour guide we had out of all the tours we took while in Italy! He was patient, paid attention to detail, and took us to all the places we requested. We loved the winery he took us too!! Everything was just great!!I couldn’t thank him enough!
We had the best experience with Luca and his lovely team. Extremely nice, cooperative and went with the flow. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We certainly will use your services again when in Italy! Giulia was our guide and we could not have found a better , caring and extremely knowledgeable guide as she grew up in the Como lake area. Highly recommended!
Luca made the whole experience feel very customized. The van was clean and comfortable. Luca is an excellent driver as well, on the windy roads it was very comfortable. The lunch stop was off the beaten path and perfect. Every stop had enough time to immerse in the area. I could not recommend this tour more. Grazie Luca!
Luca made our Lake Como Tour Day a 10 out of 10. He was so knowledgeable about the area . Took us to many unplanned little stops based on our personal interests. His recommendations for restaurants and coffee spots along the way were spot on. My husband and I highly recommend spending a day with Luca.
We (a group of three) booked a one-day private Lake Como tour with Luca and had an incredible time—rainy weather and all! Luca is extremely knowledgeable about the area and took us to a variety of scenic spots, highlighting the best routes for sightseeing, dining, and shopping. It ended up being the highlight of our entire trip. Luca was more than just a tour guide—he truly felt like a dear friend in Italy. He spoke excellent English, was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs. Thanks to him, we captured some of the most stunning photographs in locations we never would have found on our own. At the end of the day, he even personally dropped us off at the train station and waited to ensure we boarded the correct train before saying goodbye. I frequently book private tours when traveling in Europe, and this experience with Luca ranks among the very best. If we ever return to Milan or the Como area, I would absolutely book another tour with Luca and his team!
Excellent day trip to Lake Como! Very courteous, friendly and knowledgeable guide! Would highly recommend Luca’s tours!
Wonderful day trip from Milan to Lake Como! Luca customized the trip to match our wishes. The lunch stop and winery visit exceeded our expectations .
