Worth it - Amazing tour. Our guide Ana was phenomenal. Very sweet and knowledgeable in English, Italian, and Spanish. Aside from a little rain the tour itself was great, especially the time you get to free roam at each stop. The driver Max was probably the best bus driver I've ever seen. Traffic and narrow roads didn't stop the guy from keeping us on schedule. Highly recommend this for small or large groups. If you aren't into tours with 50+ people you then you should reconsider

Nice all day tour - Lugano and the Lake Como area are beautiful. This is a long day tour but enjoyable. There’s a lot of stops with some free time to wander. We had a nice lunch in Como aided by our guide, Patricia. She did a great job of keeping us together and on time

The lake was stunning but... - The lake was stunning but the bus was older, not very clean and when the young lady in front of me pushed her seat back she was almost literally in my lap with no regard for my comfort.
The request by email sent 8:15 pm was not answered till next morning so difficult to plan with weather turning bad. Tour guide was both English and Italian, not ideal. Buses not clearly marked and sent twice to wrong bus.

Short and sweet - Tour guide was great. Very organized! So much information and local knowledge. Only wish is that we had more hours in the day, to enjoy the tour. Very enjoyable!

Beautiful locations, awful attitude by the driver - Our tour guide Kevin was absolutely awesome, however the driver was on the phone for the duration of the trip (~8:30am - 7:15pm). He was complaining to the tour guide about how much time we should be spending in each city and then at the Lugano to Milan drive, he was complaining on the phone to everyone how he was over being nice and how this shouldn’t have gone as late as it did etc… it made me so uncomfortable being in that car because of his poor attitude and I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone at all despite the places being nice places to visit.

Terrible customer service. Beware. - Terrible company with terrible customer service. They gave vague meeting point instructions and didn't respond to their messages leading us to miss the tour. The included phone number didn't work and they never bothered to contact us. Even Viator refused to facilitate direct communication to the tour company. Beware of you book this tour and don't have a local concierge help you.

A waste of money - It was terrible. The guide was terrible. He didn't explain anything. He didn't even try to tell us anything about the destination. He was dressed in ripped jeans. Totally unprofessional. He ruined the experience for us.
