Easy to use and fun - Very well organized and easy to use. Como is beautiful and this guide helped us gain a better appreciation for it! My wife and I loved exploring everything that makes Como special at our own pace.

Nice “do it yourself” walking tour with good explanation. - Fine and original walk through Como with clear explanation. The tour can be followed via your mobile phone and you can also follow the facts via text.

Loved seeing the city through the eyes of a local guide - My husband and I decided to take the ferry to Como for the day, knowing nothing about the city. We loved the walking tour guide that moved us through the historical part with walking commentary. We are so glad that we did it - so worth the money!

Great introduction to Lake Como - A simple and easy to use introductory guide to Lake Como. It allows travellers to simply get their bearings and an overview of Como. Both written and audio guides allow flexibility for a diversity of users. The added bonus of a local’s personal insights adds clarity and authenticity. Highly recommend.

Como self guided tour - The self guided tour was very useful especially with family, you could stop and start at your own leisure. Very well informed information to either read or listen to. Would I recommend……YES

Convenient and interesting way to visit Como - I purchased this tour because I wasn’t sure at what time we would get to Como (so couldn’t book a guide) but still wanted to hear the history of this beautiful city. This tour was a great find! First, I was contacted by Matteo who helped me navigate the download (it was very easy) then when we got to Como, we just started the tour based on his recommended first step. It was extremely easy to use and very informative (but not long and boring) with a lot of added stories and information. I was a bit skeptical at first but it was perfect. I would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting the ease and convenience of going at your own pace (we stopped for lunch and restarted afterwards) and wants to hear the history as well as fun facts about Como.

A pleasant and well-organized tour experience - I want to thank Matteo for his availability and for solving my doubts before starting the tour. This type of tour with audio and text, even if it does not involve a Guide in person, offers many advantages: you can go at your own pace, stop whenever you want to rest and, if something is not clear to you, you can listen to the information again, which is consistent and explained very well. Congratulations on the excellent work, it was a really pleasant experience.
