“Be careful of locals putting you off and drawing you away from where the meeting spot is, it's only because you're not choosing them to go with them. The meet spot is accurate so don't deter away from it. keep an eye out for the boats that's in the pictures. They turn up exactly 10 mins before your tour is due to start so stick around. The tour was great, got to see the scenery and admire the architecture of Como, though it was raining it was still a great afternoon and had the pleasure of being on the iconic Lake Como.”

“This is a beautiful full-day experience. The scenery alone was breathtaking. The shopping and eating experiences were great. Our guide, Tatiana (Tati for short) was adorable, knowledgable and I was so impressed how she slipped form one language into another. The day started out a little disorganized but Tati very quickly got us together and on our way. She was humorous, patient and could speak on a number of subjects. Tati could not have been a more delightful guide. The whole experience was A+!”

I also appreciated the pace of the tour. Sometimes tours feel rushed or crammed; here we had plenty of time (which was extra good, as my traveling companion and I were definitely novice kayakers!) and were able to enjoy the quiet of the lake and the beautiful scenery. I would do this tour again!”

They were great to work with! The day and time we originally chose was raining really hard and cloudy, but they were easy to get ahold of and work with to switch the time to when the rain stopped. Everything worked out perfectly and they were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!”

There was a group of 10 of us and everyone said what a fantastic trip this was.”

“My boyfriend and I had the most amazing experience at the Domasino wine tasting! While staying in Bellagio, we were worried about catching the last ferry back, so we messaged ahead. We had booked the 3pm tasting but arrived an hour early, and Natalina and her family were so kind in welcoming us to start early so we wouldn’t miss our boat. The whole experience felt so personal – from the detailed tour of the winery and its fascinating history to the incredible wine and food, all set against breathtaking views. It was truly the highlight of our holiday and we would love to return in the future. We honestly…”

“This was just a great experience, what a way to see Como from the water. We booked a private 2 hours trip, and our skipper Fabio was really welcoming, friendly, fun and knowledgeable. As a local, he clearly loves this area deeply, and he shared the history of the villas lining the lake, took us to the Nessa waterfalls and encouraged us to swim just of Villa Pliniana. We enjoyed a bottle of ice cold local wine, soft drinks for the kids, as we returned to the pier at Como. We would do again in a heartbeat.”
