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.
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!!
Daniele, was absolutely amazing. We toured eateries that only the locals know. A great slow walk around the market and town. Perfect.
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!
My husband and I enjoyed this tour very much. Fabia was a great guide and shared a lot of history of the Como area while we walked and enjoyed multiple stops. Have a light breakfast before the tour because there is more than enough food. We finished the tour quite satisfied. Special note, I am vegetarian and I was very happy with the options available. We would definitely recommend this!
Wonderful tour. Daniel our tour guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and spirited. In addition to being exposed to local foods and wine, we were treated to the history of Como and the lake. We were a small group of 4 which allowed personal attention. Highly recommend and would say it’s good value for money.
We boookes the Farmers Market tour and it was that and so much more. Daniele was an outstanding tour guide. He knows so much about the area and life in Como. We so enjoyed our time with him.
our guide Daniele - born in Como - was a very lively guide with a very good humor. We enjoyed the tour and had a lot of fun. - Thank you
Fabia was our tour guide and she was wonderful! The whole city tour plus food tour concept was fun and pretty relaxing considering it was a tour. I would highly recommend!!
We spent a great morning in Como exploring the market, the town and... its local flavours! First, we had a good espresso with a pastry. Then we visited the market with our guide who told us the stories of the local producers and described the products available. We also had a tasting of different local cheese at a market stall and it was just awesome. I don't think I would have ever discovered it by myself. Then we continued to a small restaurant where we had a glass of excellent wine paired to some cold cuts. And then the happy ending... a good gelato!
We spent a great time together, tasting some local food with a very good company. Daniele is an excellent guide and a good storyteller with a lot of knowledge about the town and the food. All the hosts we met along the way were welcoming and expert about food and wine. We felt like locals. Thank you guys!
A great tour to learn about the local food and the local producers. The market is frequented by locals who shop for fresh food so it is a lively and authentic place. The food we tasted in the second part of the tour was simply great. And the company, too.
We enjoyed the entire journey from the first taste of coffee to the market and lastly the wine with the meats and cheeses. Included of course was the enjoyable conversation. Although it was all wonderful we enjoyed the end relacing with the wine and intercange of conversation the best.
Don't judge a book by its cover… This market isn't a fancy place but it is really authentic. Thanks to Daniele we felt like real locals, he introduced us to the producers who told us their stories and offered some delicacies. Everything was tasty and fresh, and I bought some souvenirs for friends and family, so appreciated!!
