Wonderful tour on Lake Como visiting Bellagio and Varenna. - We had a fabulous day travelling on ferries to visit Bellagio and Varenna. Learning about Lago di Como and its important inhabitants was made more interesting by our tremendous a nd knowledgeable guide Violetta. She kept us on schedule so we didn’t miss our connections, showed us the beauty if the towns and explained so much about the history that we came away understanding more about this beautiful place. We highly recommend this tour snd especially with Violetta!!

Fantastic tour of Varenna and Bellagio - We really enjoyed Michael’s walking tour of Varenna which included St.George and waterfront area. His background information on the history provided a great perspective. My group of 6 universally said Michael was by far the best tour guide we ever had. His interest in each member of our group was very apparent. He is a keeper!

Amazing day on Lake Como! - This was an excellent day tour! The tour operators were kind enough to pick us up at a stop along the way, so we didn't have to make the hour drive to Como. Elena was very knowledgeable and made an interesting tour for us. The lunch was delicious and we had a great table for nice views of Bellagio! I would definitely recommend this one - but plan for all day - it is truly a 7-8 hour event!

Great Trip On Lake Como - Our guide was awesome. She took time before boarding the ferry to walk us around part of Como and offer tips and good info. Once onboard, she pointed out things of interest. Arriving at Varenna, she led us on a great walk around town. Varenna was the highlight of the day. At Bellagio, we had a great lunch with our co-travelers, and then a good, but brief walk around town. Unfortunately, the ‘fast’ ferry for late day was canceled, so it limited our time in Bellagio. Not in the tour guide’s control. Still, she provided lots of good info on villas and villages during the cruise back to Como. It was a really fun day.
