Excellent Tour of the Castle and Insights on Como History - Excellent tour. It was extremely informative and Daniele was a great guide. It was the only official tour we took in Como and it provided a lot background on the castle and the city itself. Highly recommend.

Great Castle Tour - My wife and I had a great time with Fabia, trekking up to the castle, exploring around, hearing all the great history related to the area, and checking out the stunning views of the city from the top of the castle. She was extremely knowledgeable, and great company! We'd highly recommend this tour!

Magic walk in the woods with 360 view on Lake Como! - After a lovely stroll in the woods to reach the top of the hill we enjoyed a 360 view over Lake Como from the top of the tower of a medieval castle! The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a an excellent understanding of the area. It was a fun tour that put together culture, nature and a stunning landscape view! Strongly recommended.

Wonderful tour off the beaten path - A truly unexpected little adventure. It’s not only fun and interesting but it’s different from all the other activities you could do in town, living the unique experience of a private visit of the Castle with a friendly guide and enjoying the incredible view from the top of the Tower. I would recommend this experience to anyone.

Welcome to the most beautiful viewpoint of Como! - Unforgettable view from the top of the Castle. The walk in the Park was fun, chatting with the guide and listening to stories and curiosities of the city. A little bit of exercise rewarded by a glass of wine, good food and a unique panorama!
