5Lake Como Luca
This was a top notch tour from beginning to end g to end! Seemlessly run and what a beautiful interesting day Luca was prompt, a gentleman. Full of knowledge and detail. What an enjoyable and perfect day! Cannot recommend Luca and his tour any better!
5Incredible way to see lake como for the day! Don’t miss!
Luca was amazing! He maximized our time in Lake Como to take us to all the best spots. Was so friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time with him so much. He even checked on us later that night as the train didn’t give definitive language on if it made it in. If you want an incredible tour with an amazing person, this is the tour for you!
5Luca was the best!!
It was very unfortunate that we had a very rainy day in Lake Como. Nonetheless, Luca made this trip memorable. Instructions were very clear from Milan to Como, and he was very easy to communicate with. Luca was very accommodating and very helpful. He had this friendly energy in him, and he was just comfortable to be around with. We went to a lot of places despite the heavy rain. If I would ever go back to Lake Como, I wouldn’t hesitate to book a tour with Luca again!
5You must do this tour with Luca!
Lucas was the best tour guide we had out of all the tours we took while in Italy! He was patient, paid attention to detail, and took us to all the places we requested. We loved the winery he took us too!! Everything was just great!!I couldn’t thank him enough!
5Great experience!
We had the best experience with Luca and his lovely team. Extremely nice, cooperative and went with the flow. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We certainly will use your services again when in Italy! Giulia was our guide and we could not have found a better , caring and extremely knowledgeable guide as she grew up in the Como lake area. Highly recommended!
5Wonderful tour and guide!
Luca made the whole experience feel very customized. The van was clean and comfortable. Luca is an excellent driver as well, on the windy roads it was very comfortable. The lunch stop was off the beaten path and perfect. Every stop had enough time to immerse in the area. I could not recommend this tour more. Grazie Luca!

About Milan
Milan is Italy's stylish northern powerhouse of fashion and design, with a soaring Gothic cathedral, Leonardo's Last Supper and canal-side evenings.
The Duomo, a forest of white marble spires and statues that took centuries to complete, dominates the city centre, and its roof terraces put you among the pinnacles. Beside it, the glass-roofed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II leads to La Scala opera house, and the Sforza Castle holds museums including Michelangelo's final sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà.
Top-ranked sights in Milan: Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), Da Vinci's Last Supper (Il Cenacolo), La Scala (Teatro alla Scala).
