Best day trip ever! - Best day ever!! We had so much fun! Our guide was kind and knowledgeable. We had a beautiful morning on the boat on the way to Bellagio, saw many historic/famous villas, such as George Clooney’s!
Had time to eat and shop in Bellagio, then back on the ferry to Lugano.
Lugano is the most beautiful town in Switzerland!
Historic, clean, elegant and with excellent shopping. Highly recommend stopping in any Farmacia and buying Swiss skincare.
Wish we had more than an hour there!! I will definitely return to Lugano!!

Enchanting are the people - I wanted to first thank our guild Alice for her enthusiasm, professionalism and dedication. In my own opinion using a public boat instead of a smaller private one is a plus and this brings me to my next Big Thank You to all the local people which very kindly shared with us this great transportation alternative. Probably in the first place I should have thanked God for making such beautiful place that me and my family shared for a few days with you all. Lastly I want to thank all very nice people that work on the boats and docks and were always helpful and friendly 😊

Fun tour (even on a rainy day) - Our tour started with a bit of rain in the morning but our tour guide Samantha was great and very informative. It didn’t affect our overall experience at all. We got to explore Bellagio (had lunch there) and then visited Lugano in the afternoon for some chocolate tasting and plenty of time to admire the beautiful lake. Would recommend this tour to everyone visiting the area! Absolutely beautiful!

Rain, thunder and smiles! - What a memorable trip..rain on the boat but sunshine coming back on the bus. Through it all Samantha our guide was a joy. She tried to keep us dry, gave us lots of information on the area and history. Loved the towns of Bellagio and Lugano..would love to return!

Definitely book, you will not be disappointed - Juky 5th 2024 tour! Definitely book! Have a ticket for the boat and an amazing tour guide was worth every penny! Our guide even walked us back to our meeting point. When we arrived in Bellagio he even guided us to an amazing restaurant and called ahead to make sure we had seats when we arrived. The Swiss chocolate recommendation was perfect in Switzerland. Thank you for an phenomenal tour and experience in Lake Como!

Andrea is the best!! - Andrea was fantastic!! He adjusted the tour to the needs of the group, and provided interesting facts about everything we saw. The route changed due to the traffic rules in Como, but it ended up being better because we got to see more of the lake! Would definitely recommend!

Not as expected. - Andrea was a great guide - he pointed out landmarks along the lake and share some very important cultural and historical facts. but it was disappointing not to have the history and tour of Bellagio as well as a tour of Lugano. Plus, we always took a public ferry - not a private boat. That was also unexpected. Perhaps clearer advertising of this experience would help adjust participant expectations of the tour.
