The walking food tour in... - The walking food tour in Lake Como, Italy, was an excellent experience. Our guide Chiara was knowledgeable about Italian food culture and provided great recommendations. We started with a wine tasting and charcuterie, followed by delicious pizza. Lunch at a local Osteria off the beaten path offered authentic Italian cuisine. After we stopped for gelato at a delicious shop and popped into an espresso bar for a great pick-me-up at the end. The portions were generous, and the tour felt personal and well-organized. This tour is a great way to explore the local food scene.

Amazing Experience! Ask for Chiara! - We had such a wonderful experience with Chiara as our tour guide, she was excellent! We were able to walk around the city and enjoy wine, a meal, authentic gelato, and an espresso! Chiara was such a fun guide and was very welcoming and friendly. She was very patient with us trying to work on our Italian with her! I would recommend this tour with Chiara 10 out of 10 times!

Food and wine tour Como - Fransesco guided us through the old town of Como and gave us taste experiences at authentic eateries. He peppered the trip with history and useful information about food and Italy. We go home a little wiser. Recommended!

Gustatory satisfaction - Chiara was friendly, personable, knowledgeable, energetic, a good listener, and knowledgeable. The tour was useful to our group for planning the rest of our visit to Como, and we visited several of the restaurants a second time during our visit. I recommend this tour.

Eating in Como - Excellent food, good company. Found interesting places to eat in Como. Not what I was expecting which is probably my fault. We were given very little information about Como which I am sure is an interesting place.
