Valeriya K.
Greetings from Milan and Northern Italy ! I am Valeriya, a proud Milanese resident for 27 wonderful years. Originally from Ukraine, Milan has embraced me as its own, and I couldn't imagine calling any other place home. My journey began with a degree in Linguistic Sciences from the esteemed Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, igniting my passion for languages and all things Italian. For a decade now, I have been a licensed tourist guide, specializing in City Sightseeing tours, historical expeditions, and mouthwatering wine & food adventures across Northern Italy. From enchanting Lombardy to the captivating Veneto and Piedmont regions, I craft unforgettable journeys for my guests. Customized tours are my specialty, tailored to meet your every desire. Italy's vibrant culture, rich history, and mesmerizing art have stolen my heart. However, my deepest love lies with Italian cuisine – its flavors are a symphony of delight. Exploring, cooking, and indulging in the country's culinary wonders bring me immense joy. Beyond the city's charm, I find solace and thrill amidst Lombardy's breathtaking nature. The stunning Como and Maggiore lakes, along with the serene Valtellina area, are my cherished getaways. Additionally, my certification as an Italian Sommelier allows me to make the world of Italian wines accessible and enjoyable to all. Guiding you through Italy's captivating past, cultural gems, and exquisite flavors is an honor for me. I strive to ensure your experience is not only informative but also immensely enjoyable and fun. Fluent in English, Italian, and Ukrainian, seamless communication is guaranteed throughout our journey together. So, if you're eager to uncover the wonders of Milan and its surroundings, allow me to be your trusted guide. Together, we'll revel in the magic of Italy, savor its culinary masterpieces, and create cherished memories that will stay with you forever. Let the adventure begin!

It was a real pleasure spending the day with you around Lake Como, I mean Villa Carlotta, Bellagio, Varenna, and Villa d’Este, the best options, we've shared nice moments there. I really enjoyed our time together and hope you keep great memories of the trip!

“Considerate, informed, and helpful ”
Ignacio made our long excursion from Milan and around Lake Como fun, seamless and trouble-free from start to finish. He arranged the taxi to collect us in the city, and his instructions for our train trip and meetup in Como city, with our ferry tickets in hand, were flawless. He's personable and his grasp of his subject, from the history of must-see Villa Carlotta (often overlooked on standard lake tours) to George Clooney's lakefront house, impressed us. This tour is well worth your time and is a great value for anyone wanting an affordable private tour.
Ignacio R.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a true pleasure to spend the day with you. We had such a great time together, and I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. Honestly, I wish all my clients were as wonderful and fun as you were. Looking forward to welcoming you back on another adventure around Lake Como. Arrivederci!
