Hike tour with andrey

5.00We did the hiking tour with Andrey today and it was so great! I took my 60 year old mom with me so I requested an easy/ beginner friendly hike and he delivered perfectly! It was a nice and easy walk but still with the most beautiful views! He picked us up in Varenna and we enjoyed the car ride up the mountain as much as we did the hike! At the top he served the most delicious lunch spread with meats, cheeses and freshly baked croissants (Brioche in this region) that he picked up right before the hike. 10/10 recommend. Was a great experience, beautiful views and a great way to get out of the busy city for an afternoon.
Stunning views! Thank you very much indeed!

5.00A really enjoyable private tour. Andrey was an excellent guide. He picked us up in Como and we drove for about 30min followed by about 90min of hiking. We chose moderate exertion, but there was also a more mild and flat option. Beautiful scenery and views. A great way to experience Lake Como while getting some exercise. Loved it!
Worth it!! For a Lake Como hike, look no further!!

Andrey was AMAZING. super genuine, patient & passionate about what he does. it felt like we were visiting an old friend. we all felt very safe and taken care of throughout the whole experience. needless to say, the views were absolutely stunning! highly recommend!!

5.00At first we were hesitant to go on our hike due to the heat wave in Como. Our guide, Andrey, communicated well with us & tailored our hike to suit the warm weather. He was very pleasant & motivated to ensure our family had a great hike. The views of Lake Como & surrounding areas were simply stunning. I highly recommend Andrey. Our family felt it has a new friend in Italy.
Hiking with Scenic Views, Great Company, and a Butterfly Named Mari

5.00Our hike with Andrey was wonderful! He was great company and very knowledgeable about the area. He gave us a choice between two routes—one around 3 miles with minimal elevation and another around 5 miles with a bit more elevation gain. We chose the 5-mile option and loved the beautiful views and peaceful countryside scenery. For the last half of the hike, we were joined by a butterfly that stuck with us from the top viewpoint all the way down—we named it Mari (short for Marbled White Butterfly). Nature is truly amazing!
