Luca's tour is the best! - My lifelong friend Trish & I had the most wonderful tour in the Lake Como region with Luca as our guide. Roundtrip train fare from Milan included. Varenna to Belaggio by ferry, ferry to Menaggio for lunch, van ride along the coast with breathtaking views of the Italian Alps to Gravedona for gelato and then a surprise stop at Morbegno for a wine festival. And then for no additional fee an adventure in Italian train travel- WhenLuca delivered us to the Bellano station to head back to Milan, the display showed all trains cancelled. Total confusion. Thank goodness he had walked us inside and not just dropped us off because it turned out there had been a rockslide and no trains were running north of Lecco. But not to worry—Luca came to the rescue! He drove us 30 minutes south to the Lecco station, walked us inside, made sure we all got on the right train, and even stayed on the platform until it pulled out. Now that’s a guide who goes above and beyond! Grazie mille, Luca!

Great day - Despite having everything that could go wrong, go wrong on the day, Luca ensured we had a most enjoyable day. He has this way about him that you ensure you still have fun. On our return journey to Milan, all rail services stopped due to the high rainfall, a rail strike, flooding of the rail lines, and Riots in the city. Despite all this being out of Luca control, he went above and beyond with service. A group of 9 of us were stranded half back, so Luca chartered two minivans to get us back home. Thanks again 😃

Luca is a hero! - This is a really well-organized trip from start to finish. The guests are put first and Luca really goes out of his way to make sure everyone has a good time. The locations are of course wonderful but what really makes the trip great is how well put-together it is, and how knowledgeable and funny Luca is as a guide. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience. Above and beyond!

Excellent varied tour - Absolutely excellent tour. Raffaele was an friendly knowledgeable guide and we got to experience so much more of Lake Como than if we had tried to organise it ourselves. Particularly enjoyed the chance to see multiple parts of the lake from ferries or the Mercedes 8-seater and a chance to learn about (and try) some of the local produce. Would definitely book with this company again.

Best tour for Lake Como! - We had a lovely time with Antonella and Ivan. Antonella was super friendly and informative. We visited 5 towns and still had enough time at each location. Book this tour if you want the highlights of Lake Como.

Luca’s Amazing Tour - We loved our day to Lake Como area with Luca. From the moment we met him at the train station in Milan we felt taken care of. He made sure we all boarded the train and then shared stories with us. Sylvia met us when we got off the train and her joy and love of her area was contagious The bus ride to Varenna very pleasant We walked along the water and had time to explore but we decided to get a coffee and just enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Como Next we took a ferry to Bellagio and had time to explore before you going to Menaggio for lunch After lunch we walked around with Luca and Sylvia enjoying the shops and culture We then headed back to the train, and relaxed on our way to Milan Luca and Sylvia made each of feel very welcomed and special. They added so much more to our trip than just facts. We are looking forward to coming back to enjoythe Winter Olympics with them and Sophia too! This trip is a must!!!

Great way to see Lake Como - Luca was very personable and knowledgeable about the Lake Como area. We thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with him! During our day trip he shared some history and stories about all the towns we visited. The itinerary was excellent for the day. The stops were well timed and we had plenty of time to explore. The visit to the cheese makers made the day extra special.

Lake Como in a Day! - One of the best tours I have ever taken! Our tour was perfectly planned. No stress on where to go or how to use the ferry, etc. Luca takes care of it all. Great pace and just enough time in each location to get an overview. Luca recommended places for lunch & informed us on the local dishes. We had a local dish at a great little family owned place. I highly recommend Luca and will be using his services again the next time we are in Northern Italy!
