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

This was an excellent trip! Como, Bellagio and Varenna are all so beautiful, they're well worth a visit for the stunning scenery. The tour was very well organised and the guides gave interesting information, as well as practical information on the best way to find toilets, when there would be chance to eat etc. There was 1-1.5 hours free time in each location, so enough to see the main views but not to explore each town fully. The boat ride from Como to Bellagio is 2 hours. The view is beauti...

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.

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!

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 t...

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.

The tour was conducted in both Spanish and English. The Spanish speaking guide spoke three times as much as our English speaking guide, so I felt we missed a great deal. Guide was not very good at giving directions. The lake and the places visited are amazing and I’m so glad that I was able to visit here; however, guides do make a difference and our guide was a disappointment.

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.

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.

A well organised trip, from pick up to back to Milan. Thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip on Lake Como with the commentary, although at times could not hear the Rep. She would seek us out and explain the sights, so we didn't feel we missed out. Walking tour in Como was very useful for getting your bearings. Definitely would return to Como. Bellagio was beautiful, had a great meal here. A trip that i would recommend
