Amazing!

This Bellagio and Varenna tour was a dream! The private boat ride on Lake Como was stunning, and both towns were charming and picturesque. The guide was friendly and informative, making the day enjoyable. I only wish there was a bit more flexibility to spend extra time in certain spots. Still, a fantastic experience—highly recommend for solo travelers!

Amazing!

We really enjoyed Michael’s walking tour of Varenna which included St.George and waterfront area. His background information on the history provided a great perspective. My group of 6 universally said Michael was by far the best tour guide we ever had. His interest in each member of our group was very apparent. He is a keeper!

Amazing!

This was an excellent day tour! The tour operators were kind enough to pick us up at a stop along the way, so we didn't have to make the hour drive to Como. Elena was very knowledgeable and made an interesting tour for us. The lunch was delicious and we had a great table for nice views of Bellagio! I would definitely recommend this one - but plan for all day - it is truly a 7-8 hour event!

Amazing!

Our guide was awesome. She took time before boarding the ferry to walk us around part of Como and offer tips and good info. Once onboard, she pointed out things of interest. Arriving at Varenna, she led us on a great walk around town. Varenna was the highlight of the day. At Bellagio, we had a great lunch with our co-travelers, and then a good, but brief walk around town. Unfortunately, the ‘fast’ ferry for late day was canceled, so it limited our time in Bellagio. Not in the tour guide’s control. Still, she provided lots of good info on villas and villages during the cruise back to Como. It was a really fun day.
