Showed us the best spots, made the trip unforgettable - She explained everything to us clearly and in detail, showed us the most interesting places, and gave us great tips on where to stop and what to see. It was obvious she had a lot of knowledge and passion, and at the same time she created such a friendly atmosphere that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Later, she also recommended a few amazing spots which turned out to be absolutely worth visiting – real hidden gems! Thanks to her guidance we were able to discover the area better and spend our time in a truly special way. We are very satisfied and can wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone!

Highly recommend this half day tour!! - Oleg was great in communicating with a message the morning of the tour on the meeting point. Caught a train to Como at 8:30 with only a group of 11, we were a family of 6, (16, 19, 21 & 23 y/o kids). Boat cruise of Lake Como & stopped at a beautiful spot, Torno, which was simply gorgeous, very quiet without many tourists which was so beautiful. Oleg was a great communicator, knowledgeable & a lovely character. Returned at a good time approx 1:30, with the rest of the day left to explore Milan. Oleg also gave us great tips on what to do & where to eat & best gelato. Highly recommend this tour you will not be disappointed.

Lake Como Half Day Tour - The tour was excellent and planned to a tee. Everything ran smoothly, and we still had our own free time to explore, grab a coffee etc. We got to see parts we probably would’ve missed on our own and learned so much about the history and landmarks along the way. Our guide, Oleg, handled all the train times, helped us figure out where to go, and gave great tips and travel advice throughout. It made the whole experience easy, stress-free, and really enjoyable.

We had the best time! - We had the best time and that is all thanks to Chiara! She was so lovely which was comforting and made us confident to ask any questions we wanted. She made everything go so smoothly and I doubt that would’ve been the case if we done it ourselves! Would definitely recommend.
