Traveler Reviews of Tours in Milan

Giulia was a wonderful guide. She was detailed and thorough in all of her explanations and descriptions of the Duomo; Features, characteristics, and history of the Duomo! What a magnificent church! We are so happy we got a chance to see it with such a wonderful guide.

The tour is amazing! The guide was very gentle and tried to keep the group together to explain everything. However, when she distanced herself from the last people, the sound was broken. The ticket also gives you a tour to 2 other attractions, but you have to keep the ticket to do it. Even though the original ticket was a QR Code in the app, the entrance to the tour is on paper (easy to lose it). They should consider to use the app, so this wouldn´t be a problem.

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

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.

Excellent experience and must do in Milan. The history of Duomo and the way our guide explained was very interesting. Only thing is the meeting point location should change since it is now near the tickets booth. Infoarea is different and I thought I almost missed it though I came half an hour early.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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)

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.

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!!

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.

A wonderful day trip! Our guide Sara was so lovely! And our driver too! We were so lucky with the weather. The day was planned very well so we really got to see Lake Como in a day, something that would have been very complicated for us to do on our own!

I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was friendly and knowledge and the coach was comfortable and clean although the WiFi wasn’t working that day. The only thing I would change is to have a bit more time in Varenna so it is not as rushed and get back to Milan at the 11 hour mark. I highly recommend the tour. The boat rides on Lake Como were my favorite part.

This trip was fantastic. Our guide, an older Italian gentleman, whom I cannot remember his name now, with a dry sense of humor that I appreciated, did a great job switching between English and Spanish throughout the day. Our driver, Lucca, was also terrific and I applaud his skill in maneuvering on some of the windy, narrow roads. Each town was unique and enjoyable to walk around and explore. Have a cappuccino and pastry in Como, lunch in Bellagio, and cafe & gelato in Varenna. Grazie mille for the tours and wonderful memories!

It was amazing experience .. the tour guide was very informative about each and single monumental records of Italy. The first stop was como village we spent around 75 minutes looking around the village then we went to villa Olmo we spent around 20 minutes in the park of the palace in front of the lake .. later we spent an hour in a private boat to go to Bellagio village, in bellagio we spent two amazing hours going around the village (shops, restaurant, church and the park) then we left in a public boat to Varrena we stayed for one hour .. the view was stunning and breathtaking.

This trip was absolutely perfect for myself and my partner. Our guide Sonja was great and was really friendly. This tour is perfect if you want to experience each place and enjoy the free time. It’s convenient to get from place to place, learn about each place and you’re able to enjoy your time there away from being in a large group which you may usually experience on guided tours. Our guide would tell us all of the history of the places whilst we were being transported so that as soon as we were on land we were able to experience the places properly. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone as it gives you a real taste of the lake and areas. Our driver Luca was also great!

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

This was a fantastic tour. The itinerary was excellent. We saw so much of Lake Como, more than anticipated. The stop in Como was wonderful because despite being fall/winter it was a lively place with lots of open stores. The drive around the lake was fantastic and filled with lots of informative details, including a view of George Clooney's house from the road! The boat ride was also awesome where we saw lots of famous and beautiful villas. Bellagio and Varenna were beautiful and worthy stops despite many stores being closed for the season. Claudia was an excellent tour guide who not only provided seamless sightseeing information for Lake Como in both English and Spanish, but also a lot of great information for Milan. Giorgio was a great driver and ensured we got to/from our destinations safely. This was a highlight of our time in Milan and Europe. Will definitely want to return to Lake Como for a longer trip thanks to this visit. Highly recommend!

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.

This is a perfect day trip. Straight to the point and deliver what we are here to experience: 3 unique small towns and a short sightseeing in boating trip. The weather was a bit gloomy and lots of rain, but otherwise it was short, sweet, and efficient. Our tour guide and driver were excellent. Small tips, don't forget to spare cash to tip the staffs (if you want). Digital tipping is not yet accepted.

A very well organised trip. There's a lot of sitting involved (coach, boat, train) but you get beautiful and scenic views as promised. St Moritz was a bit of a disappointment, would rather explore Como area for a bit longer but understand it would have been difficult to manage timewise. All in all, worth both your time and price - would definitely do it again.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

The overall package was a good experience. Make sure to pack a snack if you aren't able to get breakfast before leaving; there is several hours before you stop for a meal break. A lot of time on the bus but the train ride back from St Moritz is beautiful.

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.

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

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 .

What an experience! This trip is our something special to remember from our visit to N. Italy! The lake cruise was so beautiful, the trip from Como to St. Moritz by bus was so thrilling, the St. Moritz views are breathtaking, and of course the Bernina train experience just WOW. 100% recommended. Special thanks to Giada, our guide, who is such a sweet person, for giving us every little detail to make this experience even more unique! And hats off to Santo, our driver, who made 6+ hours on the bus feel like nothing.

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

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.

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.

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!

Tour and tour guide were terrific. However, I paid for the tour twice by mistake. Once on Sept 22 USD 116.61 on Amex ending...5005 and on Sept 24 USD 112.31 on Master Charge ending....5650. Please credit payment to my Master Charge A/C for USD 123.31 and confirm. I brought the duplicate payment issue to the attention of the tour guide and she made a note that there was only one participant on the tour Sunday, Sept 25. Thank you. Francis Bruno

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!

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

The tour was very informative and we got to visit beautiful places! The time in each area was perfect for free time to explore on your own. The Lake Como boat tour was an added bonus too and even got to see where some famous people have lived! Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone. Easy location to meet the group and I was always kept informed throughout the journey of meeting times and whereabouts.

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.

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

This was a beautiful excursion and quite the value! Finding our guide at the meeting spot was simple as he was clearly identifiable. Simone was very pleasant, funny and informative! The bus driver was incredible as he navigated the treacherous twists and turns of the roads. The sites were stunning!!!! It was a great combination of bus touring, self touring, guided touring and boat touring. I highly recommend this excursion!!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!!

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

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 ++

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

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

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!

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.

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! :)

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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

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 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.

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

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

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

Beautiful location. The stop at Como was a bit too short and unfortunately we went on a day that happened to be a holiday so we weren’t able to visit the churches. The cruise was a bit too long and too focused on the lives of the rich and famous. But the scenery is stunning. Bellagio is a bit touristy with boats dropping people off every 30 minutes. Beautiful views of the lake and the mountains. Our tour guide was well organized but could have done a better job explaining things and providing more history.

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.

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.

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

A great day out from Milan to Lake Como and Bellagio. Our guide, Stefan was informative and fun and really engaged with the whole group. We had enough time to enjoy the day and the highlight was being able to have lunch in Bellagio enjoying the amazing views with time to explore the town after. Great value for the money. Highlight of a trip to Milan was this trip,

Our travel guide Andreas was so knowledgeable about everywhere we were going and made sure to give us great recommendations for things like shopping, food, and sights to see. We learned a lot about the history of Como and Bellagio, and saw so many beautiful things! It was such a wonderful day and I would highly recommend Andreas as a travel guide! He was so personable and easy to get along with, we were all friends by the end of our tour!! Thanks so much for making our trip so memorable!!

This tour is just so amazing! It was only a small group. We were less than 10 people so it wasn’t much hassle to keep on track with the activity schedule. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day with enough time and Stefano (our tour guide) is just the best. He’s very cool and very knowledgeable about the places in the Lake and he just knows where to take us to the most instagrammable spots! We have our own transport bus that took us to and from the Lake, very convenient! This tour is highly recommended! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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.

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...

One hour drive from Milan, you are already in a beautiful countryside!!!!! The bus was very comfortable, the guide and the driver were extremely welcoming and lovely. We really enjoyed our little trip. The little town Bellagio is so pretty, and also you get to see the breathtaking view of the mountains over the lake. Definitely worth the visit!

It was a trip to heaven! The whole booking process was very easy and fast. The guide lady was so energetic and funny and caring and informative. The bus was confortable. The ship was clean. Como stop was short but sweet. Lake tour was spectacular, the views were out of this world. Bellagio stop was 2 Hours time, had enough time to enjoy a meal overlooking the lake and take some nice pictures and buy some souvenirs. Book this trip don’t think twice !!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Ignacio our Skipper was amazing! We did the 2pm slot to celebrate our wedding anniversary on a gorgeous afternoon on Lake Como. He offered us cold sparkling water& the views were spectacular. A must do on a wooden boat!!!!! Pricelss!!! Memorable experience of a lifetime!!! Book it assp!! Life is too short ! Highly recommended !!!

Beautiful day on the lake, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend

Fantastic activity, well worth the trip from lecco. Very good captain with interesting information. Would recommend Thanks

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

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!

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

Our experience was great!Josh was excellent driver 👍 and very polite too!!!

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 .

We got engaged on this boat! Beautiful boat ride, we are allowed to bring our own prosecco and snacks and were invited to play whatever music we wanted on the boats speakers. Our guide was so friendly and offered to take photos of us in front of various beautiful villas. He was very knowledgeable, giving us detailed descriptions of the buildings we stopped alongside and their histories, and was even able to answer lots of our questions! A must-do in Lake Como

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.

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!

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!

The boat trip on Lake Como was a real highlight The elegant wooden boat gives the trip a special charm and feels like a little time travel. Gliding on the sparkling water of the lake while the sun makes the mountains and idyllic villages shine was just fantastic The vibe on board was chill and personal, and the team was super warm and attentive. You can tell right away that there's a real passion for the experience on the water here. A totally perfect excursion for anyone who wants to experience Lake Como at its best. Highly recommended

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

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.

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.

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!

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

They were very professional, kind and fun! The skipper was very polite and gave us an unforgettable experience! I totally recommend!

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

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.

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

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!!!

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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! ✨

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

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

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

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

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

Great day with an experienced guide excellent commentary with details of both sides of the lake. Would recommend to anyone cheers.

Absolutely brilliant. It’s the best way to see the lake and our guide (Antonio I believe) was wonderful. He answered all our questions and showed us some wonderful parts of the lake. The bottle of fizz was a nice touch too. Would definitely use them again

Antonio was an amazing captain and tour guide. Helped with everything. He picked us up and dropped us off at a custom location and time, was knowledgeable and fun.

A wonderful and memorable experience for my wife and I. Ours was a very last minute (same day few hours notice) booking. Antonio was simply fantastic - a very lively person, kind and made sure we got the best out of our time. The boat too was fantastic. A very private and exclusive experience for us.. Many thanks to Antonio and team!!

Thank you so much for the best time on the boat. Luca made our day, everything is perfect. He told us many interesting facts about villas in como, put beautiful music on. We spent a lovely time

Lovely boat trip to see some of the sights of Lake Como. Given it is only an hour you don’t get very far up the lake but that is to be expected. Boat was beautiful, really lovely experience.

Terrific experience. The weather started off a bit iffy but cleared enough to thoroughly enjoy the experience. Our guide Antonio, was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of insight about the region - all with a great sense of humor.

Luca is a great guide, he is very knowledgeable, attentive, and fun. Definitely need to see the lake.

Great afternoon tour of the lakeside villages of Como province. Antonio was a knowledgeable tour guide offering the history of the villages and excellent captain!!

What an amazing experience and our captain was so friendly and knowledgeable! It’s the best way to tour the lake for sure!

Our guide was very accommodating and the views are spectacular! Unique experience to see sights from the boat. Many highlights and would like more history and facts about the lake. Please add more information to the tour!

Very positive experience, much more than I expected! Beautiful tour on the lake. Top organization, experienced staff, kind, easygoing. To be repeated absolutely!

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!

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

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

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.

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

Friendly guide, lovely boat. Great little tour. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the beauty of the lake.

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!

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

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

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

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

We completed a 2 hour tour with Alberto. He was amazing. Very informative and great way to see the lake and the villas. We would highly recommend. 2 hour tour was perfect

Alberto was awesome wonderful tour! We could have stayed double the time! Alberto needs to come to Colorado for a visit!

Amazing! Alberto was very friendly and helpful. I did the tour with my husband and 3 kids, my 10 year old said it was her favorite part of our entire trip, and was probably mine as well. Very nice boat. Overall a lovely, lovely experience. Zero complaints.

Alberto was a fantastic tour guide. We had so much fun learning about Lake Como and enjoying the beautiful scenery!

Amazing!! we got very late there by deciding to drive there, and they accommodated it and they still gave us a full ride, so thank you so much for that! 💛💛💛 Totally worth every penny! Super friendly stuff! We had Alice and she was super nice and extremely friendly, definitely a huge highlight for our trip. Will book with her next time once we are back to Como. Also, she recommended us few local restaurant, we tried one, and it was really good! Thank you!

Great experience! Two hours was just perfect. Alberto or captain was outstanding. He grew up in the Lake Como area where his family still lives. Great local knowledge and cool stories. Highly recommend. Ask for Alberto if you can.

Quick overview of the lake areas close to Como. Alberto was very hospitable and helpful. But the ride was a bit too choppy to take good photos.

This was a highlight of the trip. We left out of lake como and returned to the same spot. Alberto was charming and very knowledgeable about the lake and its history and the people that lived there. So so beautiful and truly, if you can, ask for Alberto. Thank you for a great trip.

We opted for the 2 hour tour and really enjoyed it. Our captain/guide was super knowledgeable- a lifetime local. He was very accommodating and we would definitely hire them again.

Alberto was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable & professional! Definitely recommend tge trip to anyone who wants to see the lake & hear about its amazing history 👌

Very well run and informative cruise on lake Como. Alberto was an excellent guide with great little bits of information about the towns villas and history of the lake. I would highly recommend it.

Captain Stefano was fantastic! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great information the whole way. He made our Lake Como boat tour such a memorable experience — highly recommend!

Mario was our captain and he was fantastic. We booked this tour last second and we were very lucky to do so. Mario was very informative and fun. We could not have had a better experience.

mario was a great tour guide! lots of interesting information and the most beautiful sights of lake como !

Absolutely awesome tour. The guide was very knowledgeable of the area. Definitely worth doing. Wish we had done the longer tour but we were time poor unfortunately.

Sebastian V Sebastian Is a very knowledgeable tour guide, very entertaining tour guide, we really enjoyed the tour of villas along the lake. And enjoyed hearing about the people who owned them.

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

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

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.

Fantastic experience, would recommend to anyone coming to Como. Tour guide Sebastian was very knowledgeable and provided excellent service.

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

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

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!

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.
