Great start to our time in Como - We had an amazing time with Stefano on our Best of Como tour. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and took extra time to recommend local bars, restaurants, and cafes. He was able to answer all of our questions and was generally fun to be around! Would do it again for sure.

Walking Tour and Boat Cruise is Definitely Worth Doing! - Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Como as we walked through Como. The boat portion took us to a small village that we explored as well. Our guide talked about the various Villas we passed along the shore. We were planning a boat trip the next day to Bellagio, and our guide gave us very helpful information on how to managed the Ferry ride. He was also kind enough to send us several restaurant recommendations for our stay in Como.

Five star tour review - Oleg is terrific guide. Unfortunately, we took the tour on our second day rather than our first, and it would have been a great introduction. Oleg gave us restaurant and shopping recommendations and tickets to the funicular because we had already taken the boat tour that was included. He was informative, personable and funny. He deserves five star reviews.

A great tour with a great company. - We had a great day walking around Como with Stefano. He was so well versed in the history of the area and so clearly loves what he does that it was a pleasure hanging out with him. AND -he called me a couple of days before to tell me he could save our group many hundreds of dollars/euro by giving us different location to meet up with the tour. I highly recommend Stefano and Abroads Tours.

Nice and sweet experience in Como - Great experience! Stefano was very informative and fun to walk around with. We had a great time walking the streets of Como, getting into hidden places that we’d never discover on our own. And the boat ride was nice and sweet. Recommended.

Excellent Como walking tour and boat trip. - Excellent guide in Oleg. Full of useful local knowledge and advice. Interesting walk around Como followed by a “skip the enormous line” boat trip on beautiful lake Como with a stop at Cernobbio. Very enjoyable half day experience.

Don’t recommend! - I would not recommend this tour. Very expensive and not great! Just didn’t feel like it added value to our stay.. Not much to see on boat tour, only stopped in one town. Don’t waste your money!!

Skip this and save $ - I would not recommend this tour of Como. The tour guide was super nice but the tour is lacking. We didn’t see anything we could have not seen on our own walking around como and the boat ride was a waste of time- did not stop in Torino, the city we stopped in , there was nothing to see! Very expensive and not a great experience. Not the guides fault- just not a worthwhile experience. Also said in itinerary we stop for ice cream and we did not!
