Ciao!
Lake Como has long been a destination filled with endless inspiration and romance. For La Dolce Guida’s founders, Federico and Brittany Pigorini, their love affair with Lake Como started long, long ago. And it eventually became something even more — a place to call home.
GET TO KNOW US
With an eye for beautiful designs and the impeccable ability to create meaningful moments, Brittany spent over 16 years crafting unforgettable experiences for her corporate & bridal clients. Amidst the fast pace of luxurious events and grand celebrations, Brittany found herself yearning for a deeper connection — to her work, her clients, and the world. She couldn’t shake her dream of slowing down...
Throughout their annual trips to visit Federico’s family in Italy, Brittany became captivated by the country’s timeless charm and serene lifestyle. After thoughtful consideration, their family relocated to Lake Como in 2021. Alongside their two young children, they quickly started immersing themselves in the rich culture and slow rhythms of life in Italy.
Each tour is thoughtfully designed, combining local expertise, creativity, and a true passion for Italian heritage—offering an experience that feels both authentic and unforgettable.
Federico takes great joy in sharing the beauty of his homeland with travelers from around the world. With his warm personality, sharp sense of humor, and insider knowledge of Lake Como, he brings each tour to life in a way that's engaging and genuinely memorable. A dull tour simply isn’t in his nature!
As you travel in the charming vintage Fiat 500, you’ll discover hidden gems, experience the local culture, and enjoy scenic views that only a curated car tour can offer. And of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to stop and capture photos of your magical time on Lake Como.
Our name translates to "The Sweet Drive," capturing the essence of what we offer — thoughtful, personal, and beautifully designed travel experiences that guide you toward the sweetest moments during your time in Lake Como.
While boat trips are a quintessential part of the Lake Como experience, we offer a unique alternative that allows you to go deeper. Many of the lake’s most iconic sights and hidden gems are difficult to access without the right logistical knowledge. With La Dolce Guida, you’ll experience the best of both worlds — unparalleled access by land and the flexibility to explore the less traveled paths.
As locals, we bring unparalleled knowledge and passion to every tour, ensuring you experience Lake Como as more than a destination — but as a living story. From the tucked-away trattorias to the chefs who carry on centuries-old traditions, we help you uncover the heart and soul of Italy in a way that resonates deeply. We design tours that emphasize authenticity, iconic landmarks, and the unique allure of Lake Como.
