5.00We had such a great time on this food tour. Our guide was fun, bubbly, and instantly put everyone at ease. She really knew her stuff when it came to the local spots and shared loads of interesting bits we wouldn’t have picked up on our own. The whole experience felt relaxed and natural, never awkward, which made it even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.

5.00This was a wonderful way to experience the foods of Como that are not for tourists. Started with pizza, then cheese and wine, followed by lunch in a multigenerational family owned restaurant, then hot chocolate that was heavenly. Wonderful guide who spoke several languages and shared personal experiences as well. Highly recommend this tour, but skip breakfast so you can enjoy it all!
Great tour, great guide, yummy food and easy walk

5.00We have been to Como several times before, but this food tour was absolutely worth it. It offered a completely new perspective and introduced us to the regional cuisine in a very authentic way. We learned a lot about local culinary traditions and discovered traditional restaurants. Janis was knowledgeable and it was fun. A great way to explore the city beyond the usual sights — highly recommended!

5.00Janis was an amazing storyteller, combining short tidbits about Como’s history and art, all the different food and the people behind it, and taught us different words in Italian. Would book with her again in the future.
Good intro to Como.

5.00A delightful afternoon. We were a small group, so easy to chat and ask questions, and it was an easy walk. There were five stops and ample food. I particularly enjoyed trying to the buckwheat polenta, which was a first for me and the chestnuts and zabaglione ice cream. Janis, our guide, was friendly and very knowledgeable, providing lots of tips and recommendation for those of us staying longer.
Great insights
