Fun day out - Isola Bella with its cozy shops is getting a bit too commercial, the country house and gardens are worth a visit. Perfectly cared for. The smaller island of Pescatori is visited in half an hour

Official Ferry / Tickets are INSIDE the building, not here - It worked out and the boat ride itself was nice but…1) strong pressure to buy as soon as we parked and clearly were working to try to get us to buy tickets from them before we realized they were not the official boat service / ferry; 2) when selling us they said boats leave every half hour - when we got to the first island they said the next pickup wouldn’t be for 1.5 hrs and the one after that would be one hour later so we skipped the fisherman’s island and just went to Bella - at that too they said they same NEW pickup times it just worked for us at that spot.

Lake Pirates - DO NOT BUY THiS ITEM. This is the online front of the ‘lake pirates’. The service is ‘as advertised’, and does function correctly, but save time and money by using the public ferry. You can buy tickets for the public ferry at the dock (the staff have very good English language), boats leave mich more frequently than the tickets I bought.
