We had such a wonderful time with Marco on our trip to Lake Como. He was very communicative prior to the trip about what we wanted to do and timing. He had several options depending on our interests so it was great that it was personalized to us. It was myself and my mother in law for the day and he organized the train travel and ferry schedules. He was very knowledgeable about the cities around Lake Como and had some great stories but was also so easy to talk to to pass the time on the train rides. He gave us some great recommendations for dinner and shopping we took advantage of! Would very much recommend Marco and this private experience.
