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.

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.
