Wonderful Day! - We had an amazing day, admiring the views and shopping a bit! The tour was well timed, comfortable and well worth the price. It was made all the better by our sweet guide, Patrizia. She was gracious, knowledgeable and fun!

Tour Director Makes The Excursion Memorable - Our tour guide was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and interacted with the members on the tour. He went out of his way to assist people with directions and suggested what to see on our free time in each community as well as the lake cruise.

A great time! - Monica was an excellent guide. She went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. She was very nice and took the time to find a great place to eat for my wife and I when we went back to Milan after the tour as well – and she made sure it was close to our hotel! She did that out of the kindness of her heart, which we really appreciated. The tour itself is great because you’re not in a large group, rather it’s small, so you can easily interact with your guide. The places we went were not crowded, which we appreciated. We had free time as well, which wasn’t rushed. All in all, I’ve been travelling for what seems like a long time now and Monica was the best guide I’ve had. I hope whoever reads this has the pleasure to meet her as well!

Amazing Experience! - We booked this tour based on other reviews and it did not disappoint. The directions for arrival were very clear and easy to follow. Stefan was our guide for the day and checked in with us constantly to assure all was good. The small group experience made it feel more comfortable and like you weren’t just a number. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone who wants a great day full of history and beauty of Como and Lugano!

Excellent tour to beautiful places with a wonderful guide. - Highly recommended tour. Well organized and very enjoyable. Simona was a great guide and very knowledgeable. The audio technology worked well and we could always hear her (not the case on several other tours we’ve been on with other companies). The tour was really enjoyable and never felt rushed, and the group size was just right. It was a terrific day, and thank you to Simona.

Amazing trip and tour company - We had the pleasure of going on this tour lead by Stefano on the last day of our honeymoon. The small group experience was a huge plus for us, not to mention Stefano's detailed descriptions of the areas we visited. The views were spectacular, and the food recommendations both in Como and Milan were fantastic. We'd definitely love to do another tour with Stefano's company in the future when we head back to Italy!

A great day tour option for seeing outside Milan and Switzerland - Very highly recommended. We are in Milan for a short time and this trip is perfect to see outside the city highlights on a day tour! The train system is good and very easy to navigate. Our guide Andrea (Andy) was amazing! Very professional and accommodating to all the members of the tour group. He was also very knowledgeable and spoke very good English!
