Reviews of Our Milan Experiences

Our tour guide Simon was wonderful and provided us with the best day at Lake Como! Train rides to and from Lake Como were easy and simple to navigate with the help from Simon. We prefer private one on one tours over group tours and this one did not disappoint. Simon walked us around showed us everything to see and took the ferry to Bellagio. Couldn’t ask for a better day and Simon was the best tour guide ever. If you are on the fence about this tour don’t think, just book it. Well worth it!

Massimo Moruzzi on the Lake Como tour was outstanding as he was patient, took us on a great hike to a castle and a restaurant that he knew about well outside the tourist restaurants with a great view and very local food”

We booked a private experience for the day at Lake Como through City Unscripted. From the beginning both City Unscripted and Lisa, our guide for the day, were responsive and worked hard to make our dream day a reality! This personalized experience was well worth the money and I would highly recommend both City Unscripted and Lisa!

City Unscripted and our tour guide, Lisa, were both outstanding!!! Lisa made all the arrangements that I asked for to make our day personal and so we could see what we wanted to see of the lake and Bellagio! It was not a cookie cutter tour but a very personalized experience! We were able to have a ferry trip to Bellagio, explore Bellagio, have a private book tour of the lake, lunch and a tour of Varenna. Our day was perfect! I highly recommend Lisa and City Unscripted!!!
