Michela was a fantastic personable and interesting Guide who engaged us throughout the whole day. She was on top of every situation making our day flawless. We were traveling as a family with a one and a half year-old. Which would have made logistics a little difficult but she made it flow perfectly. Michela was thoughtful and insightful on the area and on Italian life. Loved spending time with her. I would highly recommend her as a guide.

Our guide was amazing, contacting us before the tour, prompt for our meeting, incredibly knowledgable and honest. The trip to Verena was seemless and easy and the tour around Lake Como a perfect introduction to the area.
