Unforgettable Experience

This tour was very comprehensive, covering the main parts of Lake Como and the beautiful Lake Lugano. It was a short bus journey from Milan (1hour) so plenty of time able to be spent in Bellagio, Lugano and Como. It didn’t feel rushed at all. The scenery was spectacular. Our tour guide, Anna, was enthusiastic and very attentive to our needs. She was great , as was our driver Donata who was able to get around some pretty tight corners and narrow streets. Highly recommend anyone to book this tour for an unforgettable experience.

Lake Como Tour

This tour was very clear and concise thanks to Gabriel and Paolo, they were very direct with the importance of being punctual so we didn’t miss any Ferry’s or buses and also made sure no one was left behind. They also gave a very light and positive experience during the whole tour making everyone feel welcomed, their English and Spanish were exceptional!Also, Davide’s driving were phenomenal, honestly don’t know how he drove such a big bus in really tight spaces. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who is travelling to Italy.

Lake Como with Bellagio from Milan

We got moved to the Lake Como with Bellagio trip due to not enough participants. The Lake Como tour was great! Our guides Micheal and Sarah were superb in communicating what we would see and as we were a small group of 27, we also got to stop at Como in addition to Bellagio. Even though it was over cast and rainy, our leader’s spirits were high and the trip was fun. They pointed out famous villas on the lake and explained the area with some history and gave fantastic recommendations for a delicious lunch! A long day but so filled with great memories!

Horrible Tour Company

If you are reading this, it is your sign not to book this tour. The tour is a scammed. They included on the voucher that Switzerland was included, but we did not go to Switzerland and did not get some of our fees since Switzerland was not part of the tour.
