          Como’s private guide and driver
          We used Giovanni’s services for (1) transfer from Malpensa airport to Como (2) tour Como (3) transfer from Como to Milan Central station. Communication was smooth all the way from queries prior to booking to post travel with Giovanni. It was most unfortunate for Giovanni and us that his car ended up in the workshop just the day before our tour of Como. Not to disappoint us, Giovanni rented a vehicle to continue with the tour of Lake Como and Bellagio. Giovanni was informative and travelling around with him was like enjoyable like touring with a friend. We had another tour of his tour booked to see St Moritz which had to sadly be cancelled because of his car issue. Giovanni gave us an alternative suggestion of touring Varenna on our own, which we did and had a nice day hiking there. Clearly a responsible guide, Giovanni also arranged for someone to transfer us to Milan Central station given his car was stuck in the workshop over the New Year holidays. Given Giovanni’s personalised service and great personality, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a private guide who is also a licensed private driver.

          Fabulous day trip. Cannot recommend enough. Giovanni was awesome.
          Fabulous day trip from Como, to St. Moritz via The Bernina Express. Giovanni was awesome, he went above and beyond to ensure that the day ran smoothly and that we all had an amazing day. Cannot recommend this trip with Giovanni enough. He was extremely knowledgeable and always on hand to make sure that we were ok.

          Lovely day at Lake Como
          We spent a lovely day with Giovanni. He took very good care of our family and took us to many lovely viewing spots around. It was an uncharacteristically windy day and the ferry wasn’t working. Giovanni improvised and ensured that we didn’t miss out. We had informative and interesting commentary all through the day. We highly recommend this tour and Giovanni as a guide. Thank you Giovanni for the memorable experience.

          Five stars all the way!
          We had a very pleasant experience with Giovanni! He is local to the Como region and an expert on all there is to see and do in the area. He is a fantastic guide and we felt very safe with his driving along narrow and winding mountain roads. We opted to take a tour of the different coasts along Lake Como and we boarded several car ferries which made it easy for us to hop from one coast to the next. You are able to customize the tour to your desires, so don’t hesitate to speak up and tell Giovanni what you want to see! Traveling with him is like having a historian, driver and companion all in one—you will learn more and see more with him than you could ever do on your own. Can’t recommend this tour enough—book it without hesitation! Grazie Giovanni!

          Lake Como Private Tour Review
          Having traveled to Italy many times and using a private guide I can state that Giovanni the owner of Lake Como Private Tours is the best, most interesting, informative, and personable guide we have every used in Italy. We spent a day with Giovanni in a remarkable tour around Lake Como and a day in St Moritz. Having traveled extensively throughout the world and using private guide companies, Lake Como Private Tours in my opinion is in the top 1% of all private companies and Giovanni is a 5+ star guide. If you are interested in one of the best tours of the Lake Como region or the surrounding areas then Giovanni and his company is the only company to use.

          Outstanding!
          Giovanni was absolutely amazing!! He is so knowledgeable and accommodating! He drove us to the train station and then put us on the best car making sure the windows worked. He then picked us up at the St. Moritz train station and then showed us around. It was raining when we got there so he went and got umbrellas for the entire group. Pick up and drop off in front of our accommodation. Absolutely the best tour we took the entire time in Italy. Thank you Giovanni!

          The best day of our trip so far!
          Our day with Giovanni today was spectacular. We were so impressed with what we were able to see and do from the car - so much more than we expected! Waterfalls, castles, the best views. The lake was so much more impressive from the higher viewpoints only accessible by car than from down below (even though it was beautiful from below as well). Thanks for being great with the kids (7 and 11) as well as us adults.

          Amazing experience!
          My wife and I booked a full day private tour with Giovanni, starting in Bellagio and going to various attractions in different towns (Castello Di Vezio, Torrente Pioverna, Colico (Forte Montecchio Nord), Domaso, Tremezzo… Giovanni was not only an incredible resource of information but also a great person to be around, with a great sense of humor, always ready to adjust the day schedule to our interests and physical fitness… My wife and I are avid travelers and prefer private tours and I have to say this was one of the best we’ve had in 15+ years. Highly recommended!

          Fun day exploring Lake Como area
          We had the best time on this tour! Giovanni is so knowledgeable about the area! He walked us around the towns and gave us time on our own! Took water taxi to villa! Ate one of the best meals we’ve had where he suggested and he pick us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Milan! Learned a lot but so much more to see, when we come back we will definitely have him take us on another adventure!!!

          Absolutely AMAZING day!!!
          Giovanni was very knowledgeable and provided both factual and fun information. He was very friendly and had a great sense of humour which made us feel at ease to relax and enjoy the experience. The vehicle was immaculate and Giovanni was a very safe driver. He made us feel like VIP’s and the whole day was incredible. This is a MUST DO experience.

          Two days with Giovanni
          We spent two days with Giovanni. His is simply the best tour quide we have ever been with. He is a great and safe driver. He has incredible knowledge and insight into the Lake Como area. Giovanni knows all the best areas to go. He is always enthusiastic, and is also very flexible in changing the itenary. He puts all his effort into every minute of the day. Anybody would be extremely lucky to have a tour with Giovanni.

          Wonderful Tour Lake Como
          We had a wonderful tour with Giovanni. We spent the day with him and learned so much about Lake Como and all the towns around it. We loved the fountain of historical information he provided as well as the incredibly beautiful places all around the Lake he showed us during our tour. Such a knowledgeable guide with a great personality and a lot of fun! Highly recommend!

          Waterfall, lunch with a view, Lake Como!
          Giovanni was a great tour guide! He picked us up at our hotel in Milan in a very comfortable van for our group of five. We only had one day but we were able to go to all the top places we wanted to see! Bellissimo!

        We had the best time on this tour! Giovanni was so knowledgeable and explained everything very well. The winery was amazing and all of the wine tasted delicious. He also took us to a castle in the area, Castel Grumello, which was beautiful and to a local restaurant called Da Silvio. We wouldn’t have had as near as good of a time had we had a different tour guide. We will definitely recommend this to others that come to the area!

        Giovanni is a super guide. He is very personable with excellent English, a comfortable vehicle and very knowledgeable. On our tour he offered an alternative to the schedule which proved to be excellent guidance on the day. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

        If you go to Lake Como or Milan I definitely recommend using Giovanni Menna who owns and operates Private Guided Tours. Giovanni is both a tour guide and professional driver. He goes all over Lake Como area and surroundings, Milan, Northern Italy, Switzerland and beyond. He will customize your tours and fill your entire 8 hour day going to many interesting places! Even if tour plans don’t work out, he has great back up tour ideas. Giovanni knows the best restaurants, places to visit and is fluent in English and Italian which makes traveling so much easier!

        Any trip or tour with Giovanni is a 10/10. If we go back will be using Giovanni again and we definitely go on his bike 🚴 tour! I thought I would write an appreciation post for Giovanni because he was just over the top and phenomenal!
