    Vineyard tasting

    Good trip but extra cost surprised us at tasting. Understood they were included in price. Good tasting with knolegable guide.

    Response from the operator: You should learn how to read English. As it is clear in the instructions here on Viator and as even more clear in the instructions I sent you (with prices and details) it is well specified that the wine tasting of course is not included. Expecianly in your case: each of you drank 7 (seven! ) glasses of wine ! (sic!) Never seen anyithing like that in decades. So you wanted that for free ? :-))))

    Giovanni was an excellent...

    Giovanni was an excellent tour guide—he shared so much knowledge of the region. We learned so much, and his insights made the trip even more memorable. The ride to and from the valley was very comfortable. We had a wonderful day and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great experience!

    The Best Winery Tour!

    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!

    Best Tour Guide and Driver in all of Northern Italy!

    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!

    A positive experience

    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.

    Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.

    How much does Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $801 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 Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour?

    +

    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 Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour 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 Ghisallo Pilgrimage - Road and E-bike Tour, Lake Como Private Wooden Boat Tour & Italian Glamour, Small-Group Pasta and Tiramisu Class in Como with Aperitivo. 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.

    What is included in Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; On-board WiFi; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Tour Guide. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1113 listed pickup locations in and around Lake Como. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour?

    +

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Wine and Food tasting PRIVATE Guided Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
