Guide's explanations...

The guide's explanations were very minimal. So, I would describe the excursion as a trip with a guide who gives us instructions for meeting points and getting back on the bus. Nothing in French.

False promises and too expensive.

It was completely inadequate that the entire trip was in Italian and English. I had specifically booked a more expensive version to get a German audio guide. Nothing at all was available in German. Furthermore, transportation to and from our hotel was promised. After the trip, we were dropped off in the middle of Milan. I am requesting a 50 Euro discount.

Disappointing experience

This was the worst trip I have ever been on from start to finish. There was no direction or commentary during the coach transfers. Health and safety was negligible getting off and on the boats and the timings were dreadful- to late for breakfast and too early for lunch or not enough time in Varenna and too much in Como. They also left 6 people behind as they did not count the customers onto the coach. I feel really let down as I have been using Viator for over 20 years.

Not a well run tour - but Lake Como was terrific to see

This was an early Sunday morning tour from Milan to Lake Como. We found the bus near Centrale. However, it took another hour to exit Milan as the bus picked up people elsewhere in Milan. That also meant we were delayed being dropped back at the end of a tiring day. The bus had a broken seat that caused issues in front of us and there was a constantly rattling metal cage near the exit door. So the bus was a bad experience. It was a crowded tour and the guides did their best. But the scenery was terrific. I think we wasted too much time in Como, and were dropped off to find our own entertainment. Volta's statue was the highlight. Bellagio was terrific. I can only give this tour 3/5.
