A good way to get a taste of Italy
We really enjoyed the focaccia and interesting information he had to share. This was a good activity, even in the rain.

Como.....a hidden gem
Fabia, our guide was terrific! This is the perfect tour to not only learn all about local foods and unique dishes at the Farmers Market but also the rich history of Como, the town. Walking 'inside the walls' exploring the beautiful alleys and piazzas, stopping along the way to sample the Region's food and wines......was the best! Grazie Fabia.

Amazing
Farmers market tour was amazing!!! Daniele our guide was local to como- so he knew eveything and EVERYONE!!!!!! We ran into his mom and many friends on the tour. He took us to the most amazing and authentic places and taught us so much about the history of como. We ate the most amazing food and drank incredible wine. We loved it!!

Food tour like a local in Lake Como
Daniele, was absolutely amazing. We toured eateries that only the locals know. A great slow walk around the market and town. Perfect.

What a Fun and Interesting Tour!
Outstanding! Our family group of 14 booked the "Walking Tour of Como" with Slow Lake Como. They accomodated our group size and time needs perfectly. The local experience and contacts that Daniello, Fabia and Frederico have at the marketplace and in the local cafes and shops added a whole layer of information as well as wonderful cappuccino, pastries, wine and appertivos. This is not a "cookie cutter" tour. If you want a wonderful insiders tour of Como along with whatever history information you want to know about Como and the lake...book this tour with Slow Lake Como!
Response from the operator: Dear Nicholas, we really had a good time with your funny big family! We are so happy to read that you enjoyed the tour with us. 14 hugs to all of you!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Como Food Tour and the Farmers Market: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does Como Food Tour and the Farmers Market cost?
+
Prices start at $178 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Como Food Tour and the Farmers Market take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.
Is Como Food Tour and the Farmers Market worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Como Food Tour and the Farmers Market?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Como Food Tour and the Farmers Market suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Como Food Tour and the Farmers Market?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Como Food Tour and the Farmers Market start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lake Como?
+
On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise, Small-Group Lake Como: Bellagio, Varenna, Hidden Gorge & Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lake Como?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lake Como?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
