About us

Our slogan is “not a guide but your friend!” Luca, the founder of the Tour Operator was born and raised in the region of Lake Como, studied in Milan and have had a variety of work experiences, including study and work in the travel field in the USA. Luca is a licensed driver/guide and since 2014 he has been hosting excursions in his region! Now we are a team of guides and drivers that put in the strongest effort to be professional and friendly as much as possible. On our tours we show visitors around the places we grew up in and/or are familiar with, telling stories of the areas and cultures we know about and sharing the passion for those special spots while disclosing also possibly some “real” italian life! Tours are only made of small groups (max approximately 16 people) and we do our best to provide not rushed, off-the- beaten path and authentic excursions.

One of our best excursions ever! Just WOW! This ranks as one of our best excursions ever. The countryside is AMAZING, the wine and food delicious, and the tour guides professional, fun, and engaging. Luca and Sylvia handled everything from door-to-door. Luca kept in touch with us before the trip, providing detailed instructions (and a picture) of where and whom to meet in the train station. Our guide, Silvia, met us on the train, and Luca met us at our first stop to take another group on a tour and say hello. Silvia spoke excellent English, was vivacious, very knowledgeable about the region, and just a lot of fun to spend the day with. She took us to her favorite, off-the-beaten path panoramic views (GORGEOUS). The food and wine that she introduced us to were fantastic. She also handled two transportation problems along the way with professionalism and grace, not impacting our itinerary at all. Thank you Luca and Silvia for a day that we'll never forget and an exceptionally well-run tour.

Fantastic Lake Como and Alps Experience This was an awesome tour! We went in late November so got to experience snow up in the Alps and St. Moritz. Lake Como and all the stops on the tour were fantastic. Luca was knowledgeable and communicated well. He really cared about making sure the experience was enjoyable and everything we could have expected. The transport from Milan was perfect and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! I definitely recommend this tour.

fabulous! What I loved was that the tour was small group which alowed us more personal attention. Luca and Manuela were terrific guides with lots of interesting information, friendly, and spoke great english. we were met at Milano Centrale train station by Manuela to start our journey which was great as the station is a bit intimidating. She got us on the correct train and away we went for the first leg of the trip. we then transferred to an extremely spacious and comfortable van. we stopped at a lovely winery for a tour, tasting and nibbles and onto the departure point for the Bernina Express. Great trip through the Alps! Beautiful! the upside to traveling low season is that the 5 of us on the group had the entire car to ourselves so we could move from side to side to take photos through openable windows. we were met at a station by the driver, went into St Moritz for a little walking around and then returned to Milan by regular train.
There was just a little difference in price between this small group, personal tour and the cattle bus (50+ people) tours and the little extra is really worth it. As I wrote previously, Luca and Manuela were great guides, personable and intelligent. you could tell they really love sharing thier knowledge and making this tour relevant to you.

Fabulous Trip! Truly a wonderful experience! Paolo could not have been a more terrific and knowledgeable guide. She went out of her way to make sure we all had a good time. Day was well planned and of course the Bernina train ride was spectacular. We were advised in advance that it would be a long day and required some walking which was helpful. Chose this particular trip because the # of people is limited. Would highly recommend. Thank you Paolo and Luca.

Amazing Our day with Luca was wonderful. My friend and i had an amazing time exploring Milan and St Moritz.the train rode OMG!!! So many beautiful lakes in the mountains. Just WOW!!Luca was very friendly, funny, respectful and very thorough with the details of the tour. If i could grade above 5 star i would. From the meeting point, he was no longer our tour guide,he became our friend.
Amazing time,Delicious food and wine. Great spots for pictures, beautiful waterfall,detailed history of mansions, towns, cathedrals etc…
You cant go wrong with this tour. I will book it again if i am ever in the Milan area in the future with a special request for Luca.

The best tour I have been on Luca's tour is in my top 3 travel experiences. It was so much fun, Luca made everyone feel comfortable and seen. He knew lovely spots and the tour is really nicely put together. It was nice
that it wasn't the kind of tour where you just follow
the guide around in a group like in school, you get
to look around on your own a little bit too. Driving
around in the car feels like a roadtrip with friends,
loved it!

Informative, fun, delicious, insider adventure to Como area Mara had great inside knowledge to the surrounding area with regards to history, food, culture and geography. Went with two other couples, and we all had big smiles and full belly’s from start to finish.

Excellent adventure! Luca and Giulia were the key to making this an excellent adventure! Luca was so helpful in our planning as we worked through the details of our trip. We were able to join this tour in Varenna with our luggage, and travel with the tour group to St. Moritz. We stayed for two nights on our own, and joined to the tour (different group) at the end of the second day in St. Moritz to travel back to Milan. What a great way to spend some time in St. Moritz without the hassle of traveling on our own. Giulia was a fantastic and friendly guide. She was friendly and informative as a guide, and personally made sure that our transition was smooth. Highly recommend!
