Traveler Reviews of Tours in Milan

Nice breeze as it was very hot. 2 drinks would of been better value.

Fantastic to see the canal area by boat - a great place to spend a day/evening.

The canal is beautiful. Lovely relaxing trip. it was very hot but there was shade on the boat.

I enjoyed the canal boat ride. The food and drink was very nice and more than I expected.

Lovely calm cruise in the Nivigli area, long enough to relax with the drink and snacks offered onboard. It was on time, staff were pleasant and professional, no issues at all. We had the later cruise so missed the sunset but was still beautiful.

We had such a beautiful evening on this canal cruise — the atmosphere was romantic, and seeing the Navigli at sunset felt straight out of a movie.

it was a very nice experience. nice smooth boat ride with aperitif and snacks. slow moving boat to enjoy scenery and enjoy a nice drink.

Excellent day trip. We didn’t sit in the official Bernina Express panoramic train, as advertised. We rode in the regular passenger train, but in a way, this turned out to be better because we were able to pull down the windows and get a real view, smell the air, and take incredible photos without the glare - something we wouldn’t have been able to do on the panoramic train. The views were spectacular and our guide was excellent - incredibly knowledgeable and humorous. The bus driver was also very skillful and cautious as he drove us down a precarious and very narrow winding road down the mountain from St. Moritz. Bring a light jacket and light sweater, as it gets chilly up in the mountains. Highly recommend!

It was a very smooth and seamless tour! The travel via bus was very safe and comfortable. The Lake como boat ride was very beautiful. The St.Moritz and Bernina Express was stunning! I am so happy and thankful that i took this tour :) The tour guide was very accommodating and looked after us very well too. It was really a very good and safe trip for a solo traveller like me. Very safe!

Overall we really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. The boat ride on Lake Como was great; fun to see all the houses and learn about the lake. St. Moritz was cool, the only downside is we were there around 1pm and most of the shops were closed for their lunch time break. The train ride was cool, it’s not the official train but you can open the windows so you can take better pictures. The tour guide highlighted any significant thing we went past. Would recommend this tour if your want to see some sights outside of Milan.

We are happy with this day trip because it includes a cool boat ride, fantastic scenic train, pick up and drop in a bus, travel all day in a comfortable bus. One can easily spend full day in this trip and it's worth the price too. The guide also was very pleasant and happily showed us around.

it was an amazing tour I really enjoyed it and I think that this is the best thing to do in a whole day. It was very interesting and very beautiful I saw a lot of amazing views we changed three modes of transport But at the same time we were never tired. It was an exciting journey

The trip was amazing & our guide was brilliant - really informative. The only minus I would say is that the bus did not have a toilet on, I think that when you are spending roughly 6 hours on a bus - it really should have a toilet, other than that - Brilliant trip .

Amazing experience, I would highly recommend it to anyone planning on going. We were told the bus would collect us from the given location at 7:15 and we were told to get there at 7:00 The bus came about 5 min late which made my family doubt the company being legit. Once we got on the bus we were greeted by our tour guide sara who was very welcoming. She helped us with multiple things throughout the journey. It was around 13 hours long and we enjoyed every moment of it. The views of the alps were simply stunning, lake como also stunned us all. The food was amazing in St moritz And the chocolates were to die for. The tour guide had provided us with all the information regarding the food at the stops. Honestly sara was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for. Overall it was a 5 star experience

We enjoyed a wonderful day visiting Lake Como and St Moritz on this group tour. It started with a few of us finding our way to the meeting spot and checking with one another to see if we were in the right place ... which we were. Once the tour started we quickly found our tour leader to be very experienced and informative in multiple languages of course. The were so many highlights and beautiful scenic panoramas along the way so collected lots of snaps to choose best ones for posts. The lake trip was a highlight not only for the scenery but some of the majestic if not historic homes of the rich and famous. The train ride over the mountains was something special. Special mention was the lunch we almost had in St Moritz when we ran out of time to wait for our meal. The waitress was not happy, but the train waits for no one! Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Great experience. Few tips. -Opt for the left hand side of the boat out the back for best views and photo opportunities. -on the red train, you can see if the carriages behind have less passengers-again easier to take pictures etc. Great tour, no up selling etc

The weather forecast was rain and we could have been warned to bring raincoats or water repellent shoes. Most of us had clothes and shoes that got wet. I managed to buy a small umbrella from a hawker, but still got wet as it was windy. I was looking forward to a hot drink but cafe was closed. You can imagine reaching very cold St Moritz with damp trousers and wet shoes. We could have been warned on email before the trip to be prepared in case of rain as it was a long walk from the bus to the boat. Tourist guide did not manage our expectations. Also the tourist guide’s English was incomprehensible and vocabulary limited. She would say something in English and switch immediately to Spanish where she was more comfortable in. You could tell she was struggling. Not enough knowledge so we missed out a lot of important facts and info. The radio to listen to her was not working.

Excellent. Even though it was raining in Como the view was spectacular. Driving through the Morjola pass was extremely scary but one of the most beautiful and scenic experience. The stop in St Moritz was a good break. I had one of the most delicious tasting hot chocolate ever and I regret not buying two of the pastries. The Bernina Express train through the Swiss Alps was everything and thanks to Andre who provided the background and history throughout the entire trip. Highly recommended.

The trip was Amazing!! The guide sara was professional, knowledgeable and a nice person. The trip started in Lake Como then we took a boat to verena and then by bus to st Mortiz in Swizerland where we took the red train where we saw a really beautiful views that felt unreal.

Value for money ,114 euro to go to 3 beautiful places , lake como at first with 2 free hours to explore then bellagio another 1 and a half hour free time and the highlight for me luggano only one hour free time but trust its enough to explore the city centre.Our Guide Jo was very helpful and waited for people that were a bit late.

The trip was marvellous, it was so well organized and according to what was mentioned in the tours details. Both guides Sonia and Valantina were excellent with their demonstrated explanation and hospitality, a very recommended tour with a lot of lovely landscapes.

The trip was a once in a lifetime experience and worth every penny! Oleg was a very resourceful and knowledgeable tour guide who knew a lot of facts about each area we visited. The tour was very well organised and very on time at each location we went to. If any questions were asked they were always answered! Just make sure to arrive on time, if you are running late by 5mins or so when arriving then you may miss the tour!

it was a road trip mostly. we couldn't have enough time on the places we visited, just 40 mins to 1h30m so I can't say I had fun but the places we have been was very great. the history and culture the guide told us along the way was informative and fun. but I wish I had more time on the cities we have been

Overall a great trip. Tour guide and bus driver were thoughtful and provided great insight to the destinations. Spent an hour in Lugano before proceeding to Lake Como. The boat ride at the end of the day was long and hot as there were limited outdoor seats, but that had nothing to do with the tour company. Easy to navigate meeting times and multiple boat transfers with the talented guide. Long day with a lot of walking but an incredible experience.

What a wonderful day trip! I highly recommend this trip. We were unable to stop in Lugano due to the city being closed for security reasons surrounding a conference that was being held regarding Ukraine recovery, but we received a partial refund. That just meant we had extra free time in both Como and Bellagio which were wondering. The boat tour portion was wonderful and relaxing with drinks on board for purchase. Fabrizzio was our guide and he was wonderful!

The day was lovely We particularly liked Lugano. Disappointed about the boat trip. I read, and was mentioned on the coach, that we would have famous houses pointed out, but the boat trip was a communal one with other travellers from Bellagio to Como, with no mention through our headsets.

Good day out - Little over an hour from Milan stopped in Lugano Switzerland for about 90 mins then back to Italy Lake Come including ferry to Bellagio - Not Las Vegas!!- No shortage of bars and restaurants - Onwards by water to town of Como and back to Milan

Best day trip I’ve ever done. Would highly recommend, packed so much into one day. Lugano, Bellagio and Lake Como are all beautiful. The guides Sonia & Valentina were great. Just the perfect amount of interaction without being over the top. They also provided some great recommendations along the way. Despite being a long day, it’s worth every minute.

Overall great experience. The boat trip on Lake Como was a bit of a let down. It was just the standard ferry that goes from city to city on the lake. We had to wear our headsets to hear any sort of information about what we were passing by. And because it was just the standard ferry some of the group had to sit on the lower deck and could barely see anything. I would still recommend doing this, purely because I imagine the logistics of planning a day trip like this would be quite the pain. The guides were great!

Sonia and Valentina were amazing tour guides, the best I've had from many tours. The driver Claudio was very capable. Tour is organised well, with ample time in Lugano and especially Bellaggio. Como cruise was also nice and informative. Boat is a bit crowded but thats expected. Overall highly recomended

Our guide Valentino was very insightful and funny. Thoroughly enjoyed this trip! There was sufficient time to walk around Lugano, Bellagio and Como. She even gave us recommendations to dine at!! (The food places she recommended were all really good!!!!) she was very funny and it made this trip really enjoyable. Thumbs up for the driver who drove us around and also our amazing guide.

This tour is worth every penny spent on it. 90 minutes packed with information and unforgettable experience. Also, time saver - we did not have to wait a single minute to enter the duomo, or the archeological site, or going up to the terrace. Our tour guide was fantastic, narrative filled with both information and attitude. That is undoubtedly the best way to visit the duomo.

The Duomo is beyond explanation; needs to be seen in person. Fast-tracking to the rooftop is the way to go. The architecture of the rooftop is breathtaking. Our guide (sorry, I don't remember her name) was very nice and so informative. However, when the group moved from place to place, it was sometimes difficult to see what direction she went (a lot of people) -- I would suggest the guides carry something bright and hold it up to help the group follow.

What a wonderful experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke very clearly. She was easy to find she took her time and was funny too. Duomo was breath taking. The detail was stunning. We were overall very impressed! I only use for traveling and highly suggest you do the same.

I'm glad I booked the Fast-Track Milan Cathedral and Terraces Guided Tour. Our meeting point was very easy to find, security check was smooth, and literally went inside with no waiting time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and super sweet. At the end of the tour, we were left on our own to explore the rooftop and it was beautiful! On our way up there, we had access to the elevator and had a short climb. On our way back down, we took the stairs but it was not as bad as I thought.

This was a great tour! The tour guide (I forgot her name, but she was so nice) was easy to find and I loved that we were able to beat the lines. I wish I remembered our guide's name because she was just full of knowledge about the most obscure things in the duomo - I loved it! We were able to go underground and obviously to the terraces. Fair warning, even though we take a lift to the terraces, it only takes you partly there. There are still some stairs, so be aware of that! Gorgeous views, knowledgable tour guide, and interesting facts. What more could you ask for!?

The tour was good - not the best but not bad either. There were quite a few people and little ability to ask questions. Though the guide’s English was very good, I did have trouble understanding her meaning from time to time. The line to get the elevator to the roof was so long that we skipped going altogether.

My friend and I arrived to late to take the tour with the group. However, they saved our tickets and we were easily able to see the same sites with the special entrance admission. It was such a relief to immediately find helpful and knowledgeable ppl at the check-in desk.

This was an excellent tour for two of us ably led by Catio. We enjoyed learning so much about the history of the building and of course the religious aspects. The archaeological visit under the building presented a good appreciation of what had been before. We concluded the tour with a trip to the roof via escalator and some stairs. Wonderful!

The guided tour was excellent and worth the money. Despite being a busy area of Milan we were able to find our meeting point quickly and easily, then the guide made sure the party was kept together throughout. The Duomo “Milan Cathedral and Terraces Guided Tour” is stunning, and having the expertise and knowledgeable guide made it even better. The walk across the Terraces is well worth it, the views across Milan out amazing and you can see the fine detail and effort made building the Duomo.

Very nice and a lot of information given by the guide. We are glad we took it so we can understand all the different things that we were seen. Also going to the terrace was great to see the city from above as well as all the intricate construction and gargoyles that surround the building. With the guide we got a fast pass to the elevators to get to the top. Going down was fun but narrow passage. You could take elevator down but you had to wait in line. It is always easy to go down than up the stairs. It is worth the price plus you get a very nice explanation of the cathedral as well as the sculptures in the area. Saint Bartholomew sculpture is very impressive with details as well as the story given by the guide. We took pictures of everything as the cathedral is one of the biggest and it shows. Close to shopping, if you are into high end merchandise, and the food was exquisite no matter where you go

The tour was fabulous and our guide was terrific. The meeting point was not clear. We were early and walked around to several locations that we thought "might" be the location and we were not correct. no one answered the phone at the number we were provided. Luckily the tour provider called us 10 minutes after the scheduled tour time wondering where we were, so we did connect. the tour meets on the South side of the building toward the center and does not meet at the main entrance of the Duomo.

Meeting point was very easy to find, security check was smooth, and literally went inside with no waiting time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and super sweet. At the end of the tour, we got to skip the line for the rooftop! On our way up there, we had access to the elevator and had a short climb, before being rewarded with a really nice view! On our way back down, we took the stairs but it was not as bad as I thought. Too bad the rooftop of the Duomo was under renovations when we were there (August 2022)

Franko our guide was friendly and informative. Very good manner. Disappointing that our “ English” spoken tour that i choose ended up being combined with a Spanish speaking tour. It meant that the guide has to be economical with information to then be able to say the same in Spanish. Not ok. I did receive Email the day before informing me that it might happen…. But it shouldn’t happen.

We had a very good experience, everything went smoothly. The guide was brilliant, she had stories to tell about every part of the journey, both historical details and more pop stuff - eg G Clooney villa etc. She spoke in English and Spanish and gave clear instructions on when/where to meet. Also suggested where to eat etc. The driver was excellent too, plus comfy coach. And the places themselves - the Lake, the villages, Como - all lovely. Would recommend!

Excellent tour guide; i.e., knowledgeable, helpful, extremely pleasant. Everything was on time. Comfortable transportation. The scenery both to and from and at our destinations was breathtaking. The historical centre of Como was a highlight of the trip. The boat ride provided beautiful views of the mountains and homes, plus it was a beautiful, warm October day. Ending our excursion in Varenna topped a fabulous tour!!

Overall the tour is well planned and the guide with us was very helpful and informative. However, I wish there was more time to spend in Bellagio which was the best part of the tour. The tour was ruined due to heavy rain and mist which was understandably beyond the control of the tour operator.

The overall trip was really good - included a boat ride across Lake Como and the bus was good too. Our guide was an elder gentleman whose name I can't recall unfortunately but he was just awesome. He gave us good facts and was approachable for any information and presented well. The improvement area could be on the time allocation. The stop for lunch was at Bellagio where most of our time was spent just having lunch because of the crowds and wait time. If we had 30 mins more would have been perfect. While reducing some time at the last stop Como would have balanced this out. Not too much walking was involved but would still recommend wearing comfortable shoes as some areas are a bit steep.

Had the most amazing time. Sonya - our tour guide - was absolutely amazing (as well as Luca, our driver), she kept us laughing all day, and was so knowledgeable. A really organised trip, had short tours with the group but got a lot of free time which we loved. Kept the whole trip entertaining and interesting. Would highly recommend. Definitely worth the price rather than trying to navigate it all ourselves!

It's really worth the money! We never do guided tours since we prefer to have full control of our touristic schedules. That's why we wanted to plan this trip by our own, but decided to try the tour thanks to some reviews here. It was surprising to realize during the tour how difficult it could had been to recreate the same experience by our own. Specially because of the transportation logistics. The tour helps you seize the time way much better, since it's personalized and private. The only thing we didn't love was the time spent at Como. Even though we visited an important building, the free time there was basically worth it only if you wanted to do shopping. We would had deeply preferred to spend more time at Varenna, since we got there at lunch time and had to spent almost the entire free time at a restaurant. This was due to a logistic change: the tour was supposed to visit Como first, but in our experience we traveled in the opposite order, arriving Varenna first and Como last.

Great trip, excellent guide (experienced and very knowledgeable) and coach driver (especially around the narrow Italian roads!) - the day was well paced, with enough time in each location without feeling rushed. The boat cruise was nice and relaxing, with lots of interesting sights to see. My partner and I would definitely recommend this day trip out of Milan.

Absolutely fantastic. Worth every penny. Our tour guide Franco was very friendly and very knowledgeable. We also accidentally booked on the wrong day and asked to move to the correct day. The change was corrected without opposition but a €20 each penalty which we thought was fair. If you want to visit verenna, bellagio and como and see the sights along the lake then book this trip.

It's hard to find a boat or ferry to move around Lake Como during winter. This day tour provides the private ferry service to cater to winter season. My guide, Franco, was good in explaining the various attractions. It was an enjoyable trip cover Como, Bellagio & Varenna from 8.45am to 6.15pm.

The trip was well organized and we saw a lot over the day (I doubt we would be able replicate this trip on own own). Everything was well organized andwe saw beutiful places. The only thing I would change is spending less time in Como and more time in Bellagio and Varenna (beautiful towns)

Getting to see the entire area, several villages and touring the lake via water taxi was fantastic. Lunch in Bellagio was really nice. Our guide was super knowledgeable and did a great job. My only issue was the lack of places to have a "bio break". LOL

The tour began in Milan, and included a walking tour of Como and guided boat ride on Lake Como and a stop at beautiful Bellagio., with free time in Como and Bellagio. It was a great trip, lasted about 10 1/2 hours. Our native Guide Simona was excellent. The trip was worth the price

The trip was excellent. Worth every penny. I realized once I got there that Lake Como is a large area and it would have taken a lot of time to explore myself. Probably multiple days. The beauty of joining a tour like this one is they take you to all the most important spots and explain to you the history of each spot. We got a lot of time to explore in como and Bellagio. Didn’t feel rushed at all. Our guide was excellent and kind. I highly recommend this tour.

A really well organised tour of lake como. The tour guide, stephano was friendly and helpful. It was a small group on the tour, and he interacted with everyone, making us all feel included. He gave us useful local information, showed us loads of fantastic sites and views, and historical facts from start to finish. A really great day, despite the constant rain.

This tour is absolutely worth it! Stefano was the best guide. He is so knowledgeable about the local history and can tell you everything you need to know to have an awesome experience and learn about the history of the area. We got to get onto the boat without a long wait in line. He knew the best restaurants and places to shop. He took us to the local places of interest. Also, he was really funny! Our bus driver was amazing and gave us each a bottle of water, which was needed on the hot day! 10/10 definitely worth it!

I had the best tour guide Oleg! He was so knowledgeable and made the tour amazing. He pointed out some amazing food places and was truly a great guy. I needed help getting a train back from Milan and he sat and helped me pick the right train so I would make it on time! Overall an amazing experience! Highly recommend checking the weather to pack accordingly

Great time with Simona! The trip was me, my mother in law, my 2 year old, and my 7 month old, along with a big double stroller. It was a long day for the girls, but it was well worth it! Tours aren’t my kind of traveling, but this was an excellent way to see a lot in a short amount of time, especially not knowing whether we will be back or not. Simona was super fun and very knowledgeable. She helped me with the girls with getting on and off the boat, which was lifesaving.

We really enjoyed this tour but just know it's a long day. Our tour guide was fantastic and gave us lots of information about the area. She made sure we were lined up for the boat tour early enough to get seats. That's very important and try to get a seat by the railing for the best views. Como and Bellagio are worth the trip.

My friend and I had such a great time on this trip! Our guide Andrea was very knowledgeable and friendly and we had the perfect amount of time with him and then alone to explore. We learnt plenty about the history of the area without it being like a lecture and the boat ride was incredible, thank you!

Pro's: Simona was an excellent guide - fun, informative and effecient. Antonio was a great driver. Skipping the queue was glorious and being allowed on the ferry first and being guided to the best seats was wonderful. Cons: Despite booking in advance and arriving early our names weren't on the list and we had a stressful 30 minutes of not knowing if we were on the tour. Even worse is that there was not enough sound receivers so I did not get one, my husbands was not charged or working so we missed all of the info given by Simona on the ferry trip and quite a hit on the walking trip if we weren't able to stand right next to her. VERY disappointing for us.

This was one of my favorite excursions during our two weeks in Italy. Our guide, Andrea, was fabulous, telling us all types of stories during our bus ride from Milan to Como with a great sense of humor. During each stop of the day, he gave us a quick tour of the city, and then we had free time to explore and get coffee or lunch. And the grand finale was the boat ride on beautiful Lake Como. We highly recommend this tour!

The combination of small bus and 2-hour cruise on the lake and 2+ hours of free time in Bellagio made for a wonderful day. Our guide, Simona, was by far the best of any tour guide I have engaged in Europe. Her love of Italy, knowledge of history and passion for sharing with her customers was superior.

If you are trying to find the right company to go to the Como lake, dont search anymore - this is the best choice! The guide was very charizmatic, honest, interesting story teller. He's origin is from the Como region so who can tell the true and interesting stories better than he? The driver was super too. We loved this tour so much! Greetings from Lithuania! We hope to back some day...

I really enjoyed the activity, the lake is awesome and the boat is too, loved the entire staff attention and experience itself, I will come back 100%. They explained very well the limits, rules, etc and how to guide the boat, very clearly, and in a direct meaning.

Amazing experience!! ✨ We booked one hour and we regretted not booking more. Instructions were provided easily and the staff was so friendly.

Boating on Lake Como is a must-do activity. But you need to rent it for 3 hours or more.

The guide is totally disorganized We were on time and didn't know who to look for. In the end, he was at the bar and didn't have any rental contracts... Basically, the activity itself was great, but the organization clearly needs a review. Not a word when we got off the boat... we were just there to pay!

We had so much fun. Really good communication from the provider. The boat was beautiful and all went really smoothly.

The guy who helped us was kind and thoughtful. To find to place was easy. It was a great experience. If you make your reservation online its cheapet and you dont have to wait a lot.

a great way to see the lake with your own privacy. friendly and helpful host. highly recommend

The guide was very helpful. It was totally worth the money the view was amazing the boat works great would definitely recommend.

Very easy process, a quick demonstration from a member of their staff to show us how to drive the boat then off we went!

Loved the experience. The guide explained how to drive in a few mins and gave me loads of confidence even though I was a little anxious. Overall a delightful experience full with adrenaline rush when some waves hit the boat.

the trip met our expectations. The guide was perfectly prepared, a real enthusiast of what she does.

Excellent guided tour of the cathedral, underground, exterior and terraces. Two pleasant and informative hours. The guide was very prepared, he talked to us with passion about the cathedral and Milan in general, providing us with directions for the evening.

Cathedral is a must for every Milan visitor. Incredible building. German speaking guide was great and had a lot of interesting things to tell. At the elevator to the roof we could go straight past the queue. I can only recommend it to everyone. Meeting place was not easy to find. Plan a little more time and read the meeting point carefully on the tickets.

Nice guide (Laura) conveyed the history of the cathedral very well. The cathedral is definitely worth a visit.

Our tour guide Stephanie was at the meeting place 15 minutes before and was waiting for us. She was excellent - very knowledgeable! We had an incredible tour of the Duomo. Highly recommend this tour. We started by visiting the terrace at the top, then made our way to the inside and ended at the basement. No lineups.

Simon was an outstanding tour guide, he is very knowledgeable about the Duomo’s history and pointed out the different views of the city from the rooftop. I would definitely use him again!

Our experience has been that the best time for guided tours is early in the morning. At this time not so many visitors are out and about.

We were able to visit the Duomo accompanied by Lorella who turned out to be very professional and gave us a very complete visit in which she provided a lot of very valuable information. Thank you!

We had a very friendly, good German-speaking tourist guide (studied historian), who was well versed in historical questions about Milan Cathedral. The subsequent visit to the cathedral terraces and the roof in the evening sun were the absolute highlight! Highly recommended!

Very good in-depth guidance. Guide had a lot of background knowledge and perfect language skills.

The tour is definitely worth it. Punctual start, we didn't queue anywhere, top priority, the guide explained very well and in detail. Nice from start to finish !!! I advise!!

Guide very interesting, lots of details. Due to the weather, we were not able to go to the Duomo platform and the tour ended 1/2 hour earlier than planned

A very pleasant visit to Milan, Valeria is a very cultured guide who helps you discover many little-known aspects of the city. I recommend ++

Very reliable, competent and friendly guide. It was three very interesting hours in which some secrets about Milan were revealed to us. The time flew by. A must-do for those interested in history and culture. Highly recommended!

She was very knowledgeable and gave deep cultural references and historical tidbits making it a very interesting tour

Our tour guide, Marco, was very knowledgeable and informative. He was a great company, we enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about Milan’s history and neighborhoods. If you enjoy guided tours I would highly recommend this.

Massimo was an excellent guide. We were able to experience the history and beauty of Milan in a condensed and entertaining way. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Milano for a short trip. The guide has lots of great history and humor to share

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.

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 beautiful, I'd recommend standing at the back of the boat rather than sitting to make the most of the view (if you're OK with standing for that long!) Its a long day and quite tiring, and a whistle-stop tour of each town, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I was glad I did this tour with Varenna included as well as its very pretty. Overall this is a great trip that really made my holiday, and well worth doing if you're in Milan!

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.

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!

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! :)

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

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.

An incredible experience and I feel like I saw so much of the Lake Como area! Both guides were super friendly and helpful! You get free time to walk around and take photos but also sit down and eat. The bus was clean and had ac! One of the best days ever for me! Would highly recommend this trip to everyone and want to go again!

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.

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 original trip to lugano and cuomo was cancelled, but was swapped out for a trip to lake como and bellagio. Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately our boat tour was cut short a bit due to some issues, but our bus was able to save the day! We lost time in bellagio due to it, and with the cancellation that’s why its a 4/5 for me. If not, it would be an easy 5 stars

This day trip was beyond amazing. Our tour guide Guissepina was very patient, calm and knowledgeable. She really took care of us. We met at the meeting point at about 8.50 am and got handed our audio materials. At 9am we set off for Como on the very comfortable coach. We arrived Como after an hour and had a guided tour of the beautiful city. Then we were left to wander on our own for about 30 mins. We met up again and headed to the port to wait for our boat to take us across the lake. The views were amazing! Breathtaking! The cruise lasted an hour and we came back to land. We went straight to have lunch and rested for about half an hour. We met up again at about 2pm to join the coach taking us to Lugano. We got to Lugano after about 50 mins, our passports didn’t get checked at the border but I have heard it gets checked randomly. We had a guided tour of Lugano then left to wander on our own for about 1.5 hours. We met again at about 5.30pm to take the train back to Milan. Wonderful!!!

I cant thank enough Salvatore our tourist guide who made everything to make us happy during the trip

We had Inna as our tour guide, she really took care of me yesterday. I was the only one who had disability and she made sure that I was safe and comfortable and able to catch up with the group. We had the Como and Lugano tour and they are both beautiful places, especially Como.

The guides were excellent and extremely helpful. We started on time and enjoyed the day.

The trip along Lake Como was spectacular, undoubtedly to be redone. Incredible landscapes and fantastic cities. Thanks to the guide Eddy I enjoyed the tour like I have never done. Congratulations to the Zani agency and see you soon.

We really liked our bus driver Domenico and our guide was amazing! She provided lots of great details, and was engaging. The one improvement would be to lessen the time in Lugano to 1.5 hours and increase the time touring around Lake Como.

The trip was amazing bus was very comfortable. It’s a must for all visitors. Our tour guide was excellent. Como lake it’s like a dream. And our second stop to Lugano was unique. Many Thanks

Bit average as just went straight up canal & back the same way. Sat outside to get best view but no commentary could be heard

Very scenic little trip down the canals! You can get drinks onboard for good value and it’s a good amount of time for seeing Milan via the canals! Would do again!

The boat trip was prefer from start to finish for a relaxing view of the canal. Not too crowded and the staff were friendly and lovely

It was a great activity to visit Milano’s chanel. I really recommend it.

Really lovely journey on the canal. The staff were polite and helpful. The boat was immaculate. Gorgeous day.

bring Bluetooth headphone as the guide is shared via Qr code on your phone so no physical guide. no toilet on board. lovely route and interesting points to learn more about.

I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and the time was perfect with the beautiful sunset to top it off,

Overall it was a relaxing experience and another way to explore the district.

A beautiful golden hour and lovely cruise. Not crowded. Audio guide worked great

Very informative audio guide, relaxing cruise on the canal, lovely shops and buildings to see and lots of shopping.

Excellent in every way! Jean Luke was awesome ans Beatrice was great in accomodating our family.

The Highlight of Our Trip! Our Lake Como boat tour with Josh was absolutely incredible, and we can’t thank him enough for making our first experience on the lake so special. From start to finish, he went above and beyond – he was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and truly made us feel welcome and relaxed. We had a special request to have his dog Tokyo join us on the boat, and we’re so glad Josh said yes. Tokyo was the highlight of the tour – such a lovely, calm, and extremely well-behaved dog. He added a heartwarming and unforgettable touch to our tour. Josh was simply being kind and accommodating, and it made the entire tour even more memorable. Thank you, Josh (and Tokyo!), for giving us a beautiful memory that we’ll never forget. We’ll be recommending you to everyone visiting Lake Como.

Lovely experience with an amazing host Josh explaining about the river and various history behind it - even took some pics for me thank you so much .

Federico was amazing! Very nice and very informative. We booked the 2 hour tour and it was the right amount of time. We even asked our guide if he can arrive a few minutes earlier back to the port because we were tight with time to catch the ferry and he was quick and efficient. The office was very responsive when we called. We highly recommend!

It was a perfect experience, the captain was very experienced and took care of our experience and helped us take pictures, my friend even got to drive the boat, it was so exciting! I love Komo! Love Italy! This will be my beautiful memory forever!

Such a beautiful boat ride experience. Our guide was so engaging, friendly and knowledgeable about the landmark. he showed us alot stories and beautiful villas around. Also, offered to take photos of us in front of various beautiful places. Definitely a must-do in Lake Como!

It was great,the captain was very informative and didn’t over do it,gives you plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the scenery! Deffo book again

The guide was very friendly and knowledgable about the most famous Villa’s by the lake. The improvement I would recommend is to stick to the time for the tour, it was 1 hour but actually lasted 50minutes.

Captain Josh was very kind, helpful & made sure our experience was tailored to our needs & wants. It was well worth the money paid to do a private charter around Lake Como.

We loved our boat trip! Our host Luca was very friendly. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great for us, however they rearranged our trip for the next day which worked out better as it was a nicer day. We will definitely book again for our next trip to Como!

Tour guide was great and trip around the lake was as expected but we got on the boat late and got off on time. It was a lot to pay for 50 minutes.

Luca was excellent guide and 2 hours was perfect amount to tour the key highlights.

Great trip! There were just the three of us, and the skipper gave interesting commentary while showing us the villas. We saw a lot for just one hour. Highly recommend this company!

A delightful boat tour around Lake Como offering stunning views and interesting insights into the beautiful villas along the shore. A peaceful and informative way to experience the lake’s charm. Highly recommended!

The tour is amazing, the guide takes it easy so we can enjoy the view, and explains the villages along the way. I highly recommend it!

The operators were very pleasant, the water can be choppy though that’s not a fault of the operators. Just be prepared, it all felt like a dream seeing it at sunset.

It was a lovely boat ride the boat was nice and guide very informative. Great way to see Lake Como. Recommend Wooden Boat Tours!

The tour was great and the captain was very gentleman🩷🩷🩷I recommend the wooden boat tour

It was really great Just right time - more would have been too long in the heat Matteo our boat master and guide was friendly and informative And the trip was great value for money Thank you!

Excellent boat ride with beautiful views of surrounding landscape and beautiful villas. Very interesting and informative on the various villas. Prompt and well communicated service was vey much appreciated. A very enjoyable experience! One side-note, we just needed the music to be turned down a little to hear the information our guide was sharing.

A very nice one-hour tour with stops at different villas, then a stop to feed the swans! We were lucky to be the only two on the boat! Professional team. I would definitely recommend it.

It was a great experience for me and my boyfriend. The tour guide was friendly and told us a lot about the different buildings. The view was beautiful. I might not do it again for this price, but I would recommend it as a one-time experience.

Nice staff at ponton and in the boat Wonderful villas or Hotels Worth doing it So lucky to be alone in the wooden boat Highly recommended

Great boat tour on Lake Como! There were five of us in the end and there was enough space for everyone on board. The wooden boat is beautiful, and our skipper immediately created the right atmosphere: Italian music in the background, good vibes, and a relaxed trip. Everyone had the opportunity to take the helm themselves – a real highlight! A little tip: bring a bottle of champagne with you; there are plastic glasses on board, so you can enjoy the trip even more. A great atmosphere, fantastic views, and excellent photo opportunities are guaranteed here!

Everything was great and exactly as described ❤️ Our guide was super helpful, the wooden boat as beautiful as in the pictures and there was even free parking for the car available.

David was a great guide and boat driver. Enjoyed our experience from beginning to end.

We really enjoyed the 2-hour boat tour. We probably should have done 3 or 4 hours. Because we wanted to see the bridge/waterfalls, we covered too much area and so David had to drive fast and we didn’t really get to talk to him. He was very nice and took us where we requested.

Gabrielle was amazing tour guide anyone would enjoy the beautiful day and lake but as a local his information about everything and knowledge growing up in the area made the tour special not just facts but real information!! Bellísimo thank you Gabrielle!

Provider met us before our allotted time to give us an update and was more than happy for us to wait for our photographer to arrive. He listened to what we wanted and made it happen. Perfect, thank you

A huge thank you for the wonderful tour of Lake Como! 🌊 It was incredibly beautiful and fascinating, with breathtaking views all around. Special thanks to our guide — such an engaging storyteller, it was a real pleasure to listen. Truly unforgettable experience! ✨

Miguel was amazing! He truly saved the day when we had trouble finding a taxi late at night

Perfect weather. Interesting tour, but it would have been nice to visit Bellagio. A cold drink or a small gift upon arrival or departure would have been nice for the price.

Our driver captured our proposal with video, took us to a breathtaking background and setup two other opportunities for photo ops. This has been the height of our lives. Thank you for making it perfect!!!

Our guide was amazing. Friendly and informative. He took us to some great spots and took us to a brilliant swimming spot. It was fun, relaxing and very romantic.

Amazing! Great guide and information, right on time, delicious prosecco!

Superb activity, a magnificent boat and a very friendly captain for a perfect tour

Excellent tour, gave us all the historical information about the buildings around Lake Como.

It was a very beautiful tour with Mr. David He tried his beat to give us a knowledgeable information and he always smiling and start to answer the questions. Thank you for this tour . All the best

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The crew was friendly, the boat was clean, and the views were amazing. Highly recommend!

I wish it was longer! But it was lovely. Just make sure you use the bathroom beforehand. No bathroom in board.

Beautiful walk, well organized, very friendly companion Beautiful villas to discover! Recommend

This experience is incredible. The boat is chic and comfortable. The 1 hour ride was the perfect amount of time to take in some beautiful sites. The audio guide was great. Highly recommend! 10/10

Well-structured and well explained tour also thanks to the help of audio guides. The captain was very kind and always available. To try again.

This 1 hour tour on a classic wooden motorboat was absolutely unforgettable! While cruising across the glittering waters we admired many stunning villas and charming villages along the way. The highlight was stopping in front of George Clooney’s villa! The boat itself was beautiful, and the audioguide talked about the fascinating history of the lake and its landmarks. It was the perfect way to check out the beauty of Lake Como in style! I highly recommend it to anyone!

Great experience, all very professional and kind, high standard boat. It was a great choice to see the most beautiful part of the lake in a short time. Recommended!

The tour was really nice, we saw many villas from the boat with also an audio guide that explains the history of the lake and villas. The staff was so polite and the landscape amazing.

Just WOW! Amazing experience! Boat is incredible and the feel of the lake is something you must try!!! Our Gimbus was MARIUS!!!! Never seen a guy with that passion! He was on fireeee!!! Top level service! I will come back for sure

This tour is mostly audio. Although the tour guide chimes in at times, you mainly Listened to a recorded tour. The boat ride itself is beautiful!

Very polite stuff, excellent views and amazing boat! 100% recommend the boat tour if you have 1 hour in Como.

Giovanni, the staff guy, was very helpfull to show us where the villas were located during the audioguide explaination, all great

Top top top. Great Experience. Thanks Pietro and Angelo for the best boat tour on Lake Como. Very special and Exclusive boat !

Wonderful experience with Anton. Showed us some wonderful sites and was overall satisfying. He was very patient with us even though we were a little late!

Our guide was great. However our 60 min trip was cut short by 10 min because guide before late. It was annoying

We had such an incredible time! Our captain, Thomas was the best! We were stuck in Cernobbio and couldn't get a taxi to Como without being late for our departure time, and the company was quick to reply on WhatsApp and ultimately offered to have Thomas pick us up at the ferry dock in Cernobbio! It was so kind and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable! We felt like we were in a movie zipping around the lake, drinking prosecco and learning all about the villas and their histories. Would absolutely recommend this activity to friends and family when they are in Lake Como.

Elanea met us at the top of the pier 15m before our departure time and explained next steps. She was then our pilot on a gorgeous boat with comfortable seating. We enjoyed beautiful scenery during our 1hr tour of the west side of the lake. We went by Versace’s former estate and Elanea gave us information on the various small towns surrounding the water. We enjoyed a complementary bottle of prosecco and got wonderful pictures. Note: Even with no wind the water was very choppy so if you get seasick take necessary precautions.

Thomas was the best! We loved the whole experience. Started cloudy but we took the top off once it cleared up. Just amazing!!!

Perfect two hours on beautiful Lake Como. Our guide Aston was fun, super informative and flexible in arranging the different stops. He relayed much history and local stories about Como and made great suggestions - we had an amazing time with him! Also - a pristine and stunning boat! Can’t wait to return!

Great boat for touring with comfort. Great sound system as well. The tour guide was very friendly. We all really enjoyed the lake como tour. Highly recommend.

It was a beautiful experience. The boat was on time, in perfect condition and our captain Andrea was excellent.

Great experience. Beautiful weather and a great tour guide in Andrea. Very accommodating as we toured the lake and the Prosecco was a nice surprise.

Our wooden boat ride experience of Lake Como was wonderful. Our guide Thomas was friendly, informative and well versed. The setting is spectacular, and the small towns are charming.

Beautiful views of the lake. The boat was very comfortable and guide knowledgeable. We enjoyed seeing the architecture around the lake

Our boat was an impeccable classic wooden boat, perfect for Lake Como. Our Captain / Guide Austin was knowledgeable, friendly and took excellent care of us.

Boat tour very pleasant, you had to listen a little to grasp the explanations, a microphone would perhaps be a plus.

Walk short enough but enough to discover the lake near Como. Good boat, skipper okay. No Prosecco!

Great experience, great guide fun & relaxing even with a toddler. Jack was the tour guide he did great

Great experience, great guide fun & relaxing even with a toddler. Jack was the tour guide he did great

"The ride was beautiful. One hour tour was to have included glass of prosecco or soft drink. The included beverage was never offered. The “guided” tour was practically non existent. The captain/tour guide could not be heard, failed to project his voice."

Was a good boat tour! Beautiful boat, saw some lovely villas with an extremely knowledgeable captain!

The whole experience from beginning to end was awesome. Instructions were very clear of where to meet, boat was super nice and comfortable. The blankets and prosecco were great. Our guide David was so kind, and even gave us a great lunch recommendation! We were so glad this last minute booking really worked out!

Fantastic boat ride. Beautiful scenery and the guide was wealth of knowledge! Glass of Prosecco was icing on the cake!

We got to see them beautiful Villas and hotels. High light was George Clooney’s Villa. Great if you want to do a short trip and experience to lake. Starts / End in Como City where you can grab a drink.

We did the 1 hour tour around lake Como. Amazing! My friends and I loved the tour and the guide was lovely.

Short Trip around the lago di como. You can have an interesting experience and get a little insight into the surroundings from the lake side.

Amazing Private Boat Tour – A Must-Do Experience! We did the 1-hour private boat tour and absolutely loved it! It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Cruising through the water with stunning views all around was an unforgettable experience. The scenery is truly breathtaking — definitely a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a peaceful and scenic escape!

Captain Alessandro and team were Aces! From the woman that met us at the dock to the boat driver and Alessandro- we arrived a few days after mudslides and weather was iffy - when they saw a window of decent weather they contacted us and we had a delightful lake tour- we laughed sang and they played fun music - history shared along the way- thanks for giving a great experience even under the weather conditions

"Alessandro was the best captain and tour guide! We had a fun time checking out the famous houses and sites along the lake. He came prepared with slideshows showcasing the popular properties too! Mulled wine and prosecco were a great touch. 5 stars all around. We booked for late November so make sure you do a day time ride before the sun goes down if you do the off season because it can get a little chilly. There’s also a few restaurants right across from the dock to have lunch. It was a good little day trip to Como from Milan."

Great way to spend an hour on the lake learning about the amazing properties further up the lake. Como itself is quite ordinary compared to areas further up the lake. Slight language barrier with tour guide on the boat but overall worthwhile doing.

It was a lovely hour cruising on Lake Como with our gorgeous driver. He was charming and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend this experience.

Fantastic little excursion and lovely way to explore the lake. Mario, our guide was very good! I would recommend

Travelling around Lake Como was an incredibly enriching, educational and fulfilling experience for a first time traveler at Como. Our driver (Alessandro) was full of great knowledge of the locations and added a touch of novelty and class to the occasion. It was absolutely freezing but my goodness, this took nothing away from the beauty of the occasion and location. Congratulations Alessandro, you are a fine product of grand quality!

I had a great experience with the shalimar boat tour. Our instructor was Alessandro. He made jokes and made the tour very safe and fun. I will definitely recommend this to every friemd of mine. As a solo traveller its good to do this.

Winter boat tours cold be cold, dress appropriately. The boat seat could be wet so be prepared. Xxxxx

Really enjoyed the boat trip. It was a great way to see Lake Como! Special mention to our skipper, Mario! He made it extra fun. Highly recommend! Easy to find meet-up point, made it convenient!

Very helpful nothing is too much trouble.our quide mario is very attentive and very knowlegable abour the lake

A wonderful day on the boat on Lake Como. Captain Alessandro made the experience with his knowledge and great sense of humour. A superb experience which I couldn't recommend any higher

The Lake Como boat tour was an unforgettable experience. The views of the lake and surrounding villas were absolutely stunning, especially during the evening cruise just before sunset. Our tour guide was exceptional—offering insightful commentary that blended historical context with current local knowledge. The boat itself was very comfortable, with ample seating that made the journey relaxing and enjoyable. To top it off, the onboard sparkling wine was delicious and added a touch of elegance to the whole experience. A perfect way to explore the beauty and charm of Lake Como.
