Memorable and one of the Best tours! - I wanted to share my wonderful experience from the Lake Como – Bellagio, Varenna & Falls tour that I booked via Viator. Amato was our delightful guide for the day, and I couldn't be happier with how everything went. The day before the tour, I received a helpful text with all the information and clear pictures showing exactly where to meet, which made things so much easier. On the morning of the tour, Amato even called to confirm I knew the location, which I really appreciated. Throughout the day, Amato was clear and thorough with his instructions, and he provided excellent information at each stop. The small group setting made the tour feel personal and comfortable, and the itinerary was thoughtfully planned to include a variety of places. The highlight for me was the hidden gem at the end—an enchanting waterfall that capped off the experience perfectly. Amato is a diligent, friendly, and enthusiastic guide who truly enjoys sharing his knowledge and passion for the area. I will gladly recommend this tour agent and Amato to anyone considering a trip. The whole experience was memorable and truly wonderful, and I’m grateful for the attention to detail and the care Amato showed to each guest. Thank you again for such a fantastic tour!

Amazing Small-Group Lake Como Tour - We had a fantastic Lake Como tour with Monica. Our group of seven joined two others for a small group tour starting from the train station in Milan, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The company had all the trains and boats arranged in advance, which made the day completely seamless. Monica was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, funny, and very easy to understand. She shared lots of interesting history and little details about each place that made the experience much more meaningful. She also gave great local recommendations, both during the tour and for the rest of our stay in Milan. One thing we really appreciated was the stop in Bellano, which felt off the beaten path and much calmer than the typical tourist spots. We also loved Bellagio for the variety of things to see and do, and the amount of free time in each location was just right. Overall it felt like Monica went above and beyond to make the day enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Lake Como area.
