Very little time in bellagio considering that you have to eat The explanations of the guide during the two-hour cruise very concise with what ends up being a bit boring I suggest that being such short times for the visit in each place you should include the visit with a guide to really take advantage of the tour

This was a fantastic trip! The tour was done in Spanish, French and English but was managed well by the 2 guides. Brilliant facts throughout and you are able to visit some lovely places. My only recommendation would be to stay near the guide on the boat as the radio signal is broken if you’re too far away and you miss some information.

Cool!!! It is a beautiful excursion! Everything has been very well organized, which has meant that the time has already been used very well. It has been perfect. And our guide, Angelo, has been magnificent: super attentive, with very good explanations and a great professional. The same the driver, Luciano. Great driver and great person!! a hug to both of you from Spain

The tour which lasted for about 12 hours was well organized and had a lot of new areas in a comfortable bus. The tour advisors were very cooperative and utilized the time perfectly to let us enjoying all the time and cover a lot of amazing areas as the time was helping. The tour had covered different locations including lake como , belaguo and varena which was the best among all of them.

Honestly this tour offers so much for this price! You get a walking tour of Como, 2 bus rides (going and coming back on a different route), 2 beautiful boat rides as well and guidance and explanations from the tour guides every step of the way. The guides were friendly and gave good explanations. I recommend this tour!

The guides were extremely helpful! They made getting onto the ferries very easy, skipping the line was nice. English can be improved as there was more facts said in spanish. Unfortunately, the bud has no wifi. The areas visited are 100% worth it. I calculated doing this itinerary myself which would of saved $$ but the timing was much much better to do this tour. Worked out great!

Our tour guide was the best, it felt like a VIP tour since we choose language Spanish and my partner and I were the only ones. Very normal pace and got to discover the beautiful views and history of Lake Como. Definitely recommend and will go again when we get the chance to visit.

Unfortunately, there was a strike and we couldn't make to Bellagio and Varenna, but the agency was super helpful and offered a trip to Lugano and a boat trip in the lake. That was great... Lugano is a beautiful medieval city full of nice medieval paved paths and small stores.

It was very well organized and convenient especially being with young children. We've seen a lot in a day. The boat trip was magnificent as we enjoyed views from the Lake Como, while we also visited Bellagio & Varenna. No wifi was on board the bus not as promoted. The english language was very poorly translated but the guide did her very best to try and explain. It was a great day.

We loved this tour. Its a great way to visit outside of milan for the day and it was gorgeous weather when we went. The tour guide (i didnt catch his name) was very nice, gave us recommendations on what to do, and was overall very organized. My favourite part was verenna, which was so beautiful and definitely a must on your trip to lake como. I wish we had more time to see bellagio but we had to get linch and we didnt have enough time to sight see, so if I could change anything I would make the time longer at both this destinations (but i realize the tour guides have lives outside of this so it was okay). Overall, worth it! :)
