Traveler Reviews of Tours in Milan

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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)

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!?

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 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!

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 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!

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!!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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 .

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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

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 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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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! :)

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.

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!

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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!!!

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.

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

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!

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 was the best tour I have done in Italy, our guide, Stefano made the whole experience amazing. The places you visit are incredible, you have plenty of time at each stop, and Stefano have lots of interesting information during the tour sections. You also get free time if you want to get lunch, go shopping, go swimming etc. it's up to you which is perfect. Stefano also took us up to the mountains for an amazing view, it's worth it to go on this as you won't be able to get to those views if you visit Como independently by bus. Highly recommend.

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!

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.

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!

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...

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

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!!

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,

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 .

Fabulous tour of the lake by boat, even better than expected. Gianluca was a great captain and shared just the right amount of info along the way. Highly recommend.

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 !!!

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.

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!

Overall, it was a very good experience and definitely one of the highlights of my holiday. I would recommend it, but there are a few things that could be improved. We weren’t offered the drinks mentioned in the description, and I expected a bit more information during the trip as our guide didn’t speak much. The pricing was also a little unclear — we paid 198 initially and were later asked to pay an additional 50, so I’m not entirely sure what the first payment covered. The boat also looked quite different in person compared to the photos online. Despite these points, I still enjoyed it and would recommend it, but I think the company could address these issues to make the experience even better. Thank you.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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 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 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!

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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! ✨

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!!

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!!

Stefano provided us with an amazing 1 hour experience. We should have absolutely booked a longer trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the lake and all of the beautiful buildings. I highly recommend him and his tour!

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.

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.

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.

We took a private tour with Alberto, also known as Albi. It was a perfect sunny day in October and Alberto could not have been more perfect as a guide. He was informative knowledgeable into a history beyond textbooks because he grew up on the lake and continues to live on the lake.

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

Alberto was the perfect guide! He was delightful and we had a wonderful afternoon. Highly recommend!

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!

This was such an amazing experience, my husband and I booked this for our honeymoon and it was just so great to get to know the lake this way! Our guide took us to a lot of beautiful spots and explained everything very well! He was very polite and nice and we just had a great time with him! It was breathtaking to look and explore Lake Como with a glass of prosecco! Book this asappp

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.

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

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.

"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."

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

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.

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

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!

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

It was a lovely experience riding around on a great speedboat on Lake Como. Giacomo was very knowledgeable on all the sites that we were seeing. It also helped that they had blankets to cover up with when it got a little breezy and rainy.

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

Very good, had good time viewing the lake, it was also informationL. The guide was nice and told us many interesting facts about the villas around.

Beautiful walk on the Lake in love. Very nice skipper/guide, good mood music and interesting explanations about the villas along the Lake.

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

Mario was wonderful and made the best of the experience despite it being cold! The tour was awesome overall & the Prosecco was great!

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 views and boat were amazing, and Frederico was a such a fun captain. Definitely recommend! They even provided blankets since it was cold in February.

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.

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."

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.

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

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

It was very easy to book, the pick up spot was very clear. The Captain Alessandro was very polite and welcoming. He had excellent knowledge of the Lake. He paused at certain points and discussed the history. The Prosecco topped off a wonderful experience! I would definitely recommend this experience. Thank you.
