It couldn't have been better. Oleg is knowledgeable and has clearly done his homework in order to deliver the most exciting, but relaxing, days out I've ever had in the area. He's absolutely right - an informative one-hour journey on a train (rather than sitting for 2 hours on a coach with the guide having to say the same thing in 4 languages) with the sights of the Italian countryside to accompany us. He avoided the hordes of tourists and overcrowding which dog the area.

His knowledge of Balbianello was extensive and I was impressed that immediately he was able to reference the films which used the setting as a backdrop. Again, the ferries he used were not overcrowded and throughout the journey he was able to explain the history both recent and past.

And there were those things which are important to some and not others. Where to buy the best ice cream (Varenna), the best value cafe (Balbianello) and where to find a clean toilet!

This man has the right attitude of a tour guide and listens to his customers.

And finally - what great value! Thank you, Oleg.

We had a great time touring Alba and Barolo with our guide. Even though we were with a small group of non-Italians, the places we visited felt very authentic. We had lunch as a couple at a great restaurant in Alba recommended by the guide, which we probably never would have found otherwise.

It was a great mixture of guided touring with helpful information as well as unstructured time to explore around. Delicious food and wine, beautiful views, and nice people!

This small group tour was a perfect walk and sightseeing. The views were perfect from Bellagio, Varenna and Bellano Gorge. The guide was helpful and knowledgeable who made this tour even better with little tid-bits about the place. The travel path was easy and the locations were wonderful. Everyone should experience this tour.

Fantastic day tour when you’re in Milan! Our guide was Stefano who was so nice and took the time the get to know everyone. The smaller tour with 10 people was so much better than a big tour because you were able to interact with everyone and the tour was more personal. Definitely an unforgettable experience that was breathtaking. The small village Torno was great because there were no other tour groups, and you got a little taste of what the locals’ lives were like. 100% recommend

First, let me say that I had little expectations for this tour. I wrongly thought that a trip to the lake regions would be boring. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Our tour guide Monica was outstanding. She pointed out points of interest in addition to giving recommendations in all the towns we visited.

Lake Como was by far my favorite. It has a very upscale environment yet manages to keep its laid back culture.

The small tour group size was great. We were able to share our common experiences as a group.

I booked this tour last minute, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences I had.
Monica was an excellent guide, always willing to explain the historical context behind the places we visited, as well as offering great food recommendations.
It was definitely a small group tour that took us far beyond the typical tourist spots.
I would say it’s a tour that takes you to visit hidden gems.

The trip was a small group of 12 which started in the train station in Milan and went to Lake Como, Torno and Lugano, Switzerland. The trip via train to Lake Como was completely guided by our excellent guide, Oleg. Upon arriving in Como, we had a walking tour before taking a boat ride (boat had both enclosed and outdoor seating) along Lake Como to Torno. After a walking tour there, we returned to Lake Como for free time and lunch on our own. Oleg provided several good alternatives for lunch. Afterwards we boarded the train to Lugano for a chocolate tasting and once again, had ample free time for exploring the beautiful city. Lugano is incredible for its natural beauty. We returned to Milan by train. Overall, was a wonderful day exploring from Milan. I highly recommend this trip.

Oleg was simply fantastic. Great communicator and was a wealth of knowledge. Loved the small group (we had 12) and seemed like the perfect size. We had plenty of free time and plenty of educational time. Couldn’t have been any better and loved we went to less touristy places.
