    Stunning Villa and Gardens.
    The Villa and gardens were stunning. Truly magical. The only negative was all of the wedding and fashion photoshoots, we needed to move out of the way. Being on a tour we had limited time and weren't able to completely immerse ourselves in the moment.

    Fun way to see Bellagio
    Our favorite day in Lake Como. The bikes were great and made going up the hills if Bellagio a breeze. We saw so much of the town, from the touristy areas to some back roads, farms and the fields. Our guides were great, very fun and personable guides for a great morning. We ended at a little hotel for a private lunch of local meats, cheeses and wine. If you can ride a bike this is a perfect excursion.

    A must do Lake Como tour!
    This is a must do if you are visiting Lake Como! You get to learn some of the history, eat yummy local food and drinks and get to tour two well known (and incredibly stunning) villas on the lake. Our tour guide, Martina, was delightful! She had great information and it was lovely to spend the day with her as our guide. It is wonderful to be in such a small group and it is a good way to see a lot without having to stress over the details. I would absolutely book this again!

    Fun tour of Bellagio!!
    We had a fun morning touring Bellagio with Athos! I was a bit apprehensive about the hills and tiny roads but the e-bikes were fantastic and made the hills a breeze. We had 2 families including young adults. We had a few minor technical issues adapting to the e-bikes but Athos took good care of us. It was definitely a leisurely tour with a bonus wine and charcuterie at the top of Bellagio. The young adults were looking for a bit more riding and a little less stopping - so if you are looking for more of a long distance you may choose a different route - but overall highly recommend.

    Lake Como dream tour
    Our guide Pietro was incredibly knowledgeable and personable; we absolutely enjoyed this tour, lots of variety and worth the spend. Actually a dream way to see and learn about Lake Como in all its beauty and glory. We had great weather and there were only 4 of us and our guide, so it felt like a private tour. Most definitely the highlight of our visit to Lake Como.

    Lake Como full-day tour and Bernina Express St Moritz tour.
    My husband and I took the private full day lake como boat and villa your. Our guide and skipper were wonderful. They were able to tailor the tour around our activity level. The weather was not the best, but it did not hamper the tour at all. Alessandra was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about every place we went. Our skipper was wonderful and had a great sense of humor. They both were great! Could not ha e asked for a better day. Laura and Barbara organized this and the Bernina Express to St Moritz tour (which was also great!) thank you to everyone involved in both of our tours! Our driver/guide for St. Moritz could not have been nicer!!

    Julie spoke to us like human being. Think it's missing personal touch. She was very friendly and made us feel comfortable

    Amazing Tour of Varenna and Bellagio
    Wonderful experience. Really exceeded our expectations. Our guide Pietro was wonderful, very informative and funny. It was a small tour group of just 12 people. The tour started in Varenna and ended in Bellavia. It included an olive oil mill and tasting with wine, salami and cheeses. Also included a really nice lunch with a fish or meat menu option and unlimited wine overlooking the lake. The food was delicious. This tour was like three experiences in one. The girls enjoyed the private boat ride to visit 2 Villas and amazing gardens. Would highly recommend this tour.

    Spectacular View
    Got off to a bit of a bumpy start as we got stuck in bad traffic on the way to Como. Laura was exceptional in communicating and accommodating our tardiness. She provided an alternate pick up and redirected our boat pilot, Claudia, to the new location. We were fortunate to have been the only couple on the tour this evening so the delay was not impactful to a larger group. Once underway, the cruise was exceptional. Claudia was very knowledgeable of the notable villas and other locations on the lake. The weather was perfect and we took in a beautiful sunset and spectacular views of the villas and surrounding mountains. Claudia then dropped us at Ristorante Imperialino for a fabulous, upscale dinner. The staff at Ristorante Imperialino was first rate--attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. A truly exquisite dining experience. The entire tour was wonderful and I would recommend if you're in Como. Please note, however, that the tour does NOT come full circle. The boat picks you up in the town of Como and leaves you at Ristorante Imperialino in Maltrasio--a good half hour away by car. I was not aware of this and it did create some logistical challenges the next day. Fortunately we were staying a mere 0.5 km from the restaurant so were able to walk back that evening but needed to get a taxi the next day to retrieve our automobile. This logistical glitch is the reason for only 4 out 5 rating. If the boat took us back to the pier after dinner this would be 5 out of 5.

    Wonderful experience
    It was a wonderful experience on this special tour in Lake Como. Tour guide Margaret was very attentive and the tour was very informative. We really had a wonderful time at Carlotta. The water cruise afterward was also the highlight of the tour. Since we were the only couple on this tour, it felt like a private tour in the end. Highly recommend this to those who are 1st timer in Lake Como. A great way to get to know more about history and background of the city.

    Unexpected
    The scenery was breath taking and the guide was knowledgeable. I am a novice and this was above my fitness level. However, with the guidance provided, I did finish the return up hill ride. Part way back, my legs gave out from fatigue and when I stopped to walk up hill, I fell over. I was not injured except for some scratches.

Boat arrived 45 minutes late and I had to call the tour operator since they didn’t call me. The boat ride was good and so was the restaurant.
