Reza was an amazing guide.... easy going, friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable. He tried very hard to accommodate our various requests (via WhatsApp starting several weeks before the tour) for our customized day trip from Milan to Lake Como. We managed to see Varenna, Bellagio, and Como City all in one day. We never had to wait in queue for the ferry because Reza took care of that for us. He also pointed out great views-restaurants-gelato-shops, shared great insights, and was funny. We would highly recommend City Unscripted and ask for Reza.

My tour guide was Reza, and he was absolutely amazing! Being on a solo trip in Italy for the first time, not speaking an ounce of Italian, I knew I may face a couple of challenges. So when it came to touring Lake Como, I decided to book this private tour and happy I did. I couldn’t have expected the sheer amount of crowds and chaos that we would experience, and if I would have tried to maneuver through this alone, I most likely would have turned right around and left Como. Reza had the transportation hashed out from the train, to busses and a subway, he had chosen some great landmarks to go see, and was able to think quickly and provide new suggestions when we experienced roadblocks where tickets were sold out. He was energetic, knowledgeable, and fluent in English so it helped tremendously that he was able to communicate with me and the locals seamlessly. I’m so happy I went this route, I learned a ton about the city and landmarks along the way, and took a billion pictures to remember them all.
