Beautiful day - This trip is excellent! Myself and my husband had a great day. Lugano is beautiful and definitely not one to miss, we especially enjoyed walking round the gardens that followed the lake. We also enjoyed Bellagio, it again had amazing views. It was definitely a lot busier is Bellagio but it is a popular spot so not surprising! Loads of places to eat and pretty shops ☺️ Andrea was our tour guide and he was excellent! Helpful, friendly and very informative. He has so much knowledge about the area and we found out some really interesting facts! Thanks so much to him.

8 Hour Como-Lugano-Bellaggio-Lake Como Boat Tour with Adriano - It was a very good experience. The tour- Como, Lugano, Bellagio- by bus, walking, and by boat was an all day affair. Our guide, ADRIANO C. was terrific. He gently shepherded us from place to place, and transport to transport, with great style, class, good humor and plenty of information- in THREE LANGUAGES!!! It was a very hot, sunny day and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, there were smiles and camaraderie abounding. Bravo to Adriano. My wife and I would tour with him anytime, anywhere!

Part Good and Part Bad... - While we did get to go to Lugano and Bellagio, the "charming boat ride" from Bellagio back to Como was a very overcrowded ferry ride. The tour was supposed to be limited to 50 people. From Bellagio to Como the ferry must have had 250 people on it. Although the tour guide did a good job informing us of things to look at, she also darted off the ferry first and I had to follow her walking in the 90 degree heat 15 minutes past my hotel to turn in the audio device and then walk all the way back. Why couldn't she just collect them right when we departed the ferry? Idk...

Lugano Bellagio Boat Ride - Very nice guide but abit difficult to understand . Also the info given was an enchanting boat ride but we were on a ferry stopping for locals to ride. It was very long and hot day . Had a nice time in Bellagio and other town but not much time . Glad we went but would do shorter next time or ride the ferry on our own .

Waste of Money! - Totally useless. Tour is just bus shuttle to Lugano and then a PUBLIC ferry ride. What a scam! Thought it was a private boat tour but was herded into a slow and painful ferry where the guide pointed out a few villas.
