We had a great experience...

We had a great experience on this excursion. It was very nice, educational, and well organized. The guide shared a lot of interesting information, which made the tour both enjoyable and informative. The AC was also on point, which made the whole experience much more comfortable. Overall, a really pleasant excursion and definitely worth it!

Perfectly-organised, hassle-free way to visit the highlights of Lake Como

This is probably the most efficient and hassle-free way to do Lake Como from central Milan. Angela was an incredible guide: perfectly organised, informative and amiable. Despite rail issues beyond her control, she made sure we covered the most important stops on the tour and got us back to Milano Centrale roughly on time. She gave clear directions and helpful tips on places to see and dine during our free time. Special kudos for helping us secure the best seats on the lake cruise, which was so worth it for the direct views and respite from the hot sun. Would recommend this tour and guide any time. It will be a long day but well worth to take the hassle out of self-organising and missing out on the great guiding by Angela.

One in a life time experience

Ornela was a wonderful guide! She had so many amazing facts and history to share behind every city we passed through! She was very nice and also witty! Trusted the driver Francesco with our life on those crazy roads lol he manages to do the impossible by driving a huge bus through the tiny streets of the cities surrounding lake como! 10/10 recommend this tour!

I dont normally engage in this type of activity but knew my wife would enjoy it. Well, we had a tour guide name Kiara and if it wasn't for I would have been bored stiff. She was so funny and knew everyone by out state or country. It was a pretty view and skipping the extremely long line of overheated tourists was fantastic. Pay the $150.

Superb day trip to...

Superb day trip to include beatiful bus ride thru the Alps & Bernina Red Train. We were able to sit together and fully enjoy the view. Our tour guide Jo was wonderful explaining everything along the way. The only suggestion might be to allow a stop @ 1 or 2 viewpoints for 10 min each to take in the view/pics and enjoy fresh air. It is a long day that starts early, but very comfortable. Ample time in St Moritz.

The meeting place can be hectic, with numerous buses leaving at the same time. Arrive early and make sure you know the name of the tour provider. The actual tour is great, the guide and driver were excellent. The city of Como is a delight, and the boat ride on Lake Como is a "must do."

Excellent Day Trip from Milano to Lake Como!

Very well organized, full-day trip from Milano to Lake Como. The communication with the tour operator was excellent prior to the tour and all instructions were very clear. Bus was clean and comfortable, and our guide, Chiara was excellent. She explained all of the meeting points and times clearly and did a great job of narrating the tour in both English and Spanish. The trip from Milano to the lake is only about one hour, followed by 90 minutes of time to explore the town of Como. Traveler tip: free bathroom in MacDonalds on the 2nd floor! After that, its a 2 hour boat ride to Bellagio, making stops along the way and seeing all of the picturesque towns on both sides of the lake. Another 2 hour stop in Bellagio, which is very beautiful. We opted to eat lunch in a restaurant, which was excellent (La Dolce Vita), but then we had less time to explore the town. If you can bring some food or grab a snack on the boat ride, you will maximize your time exploring Bellagio. Another 15 minute boat ride across to Mennagio to get back on the bus to Milan, which was about 2 hours. All in all, if you've only got one day to see Lake Como, I'd say this is a great tour option to maximize your time.

Best of Milan and Last Supper and Duomo de Milano tour

There is considerable walking involved in this tour and a ride on a trolley. Christina, our tour guide passed out radio headsets and earbuds so we could very clearly hear and understand her excellent narrative of each of the points of interest. We had approximately 15 persons in our group. Christina was extremely well spoken in English and Italian. She was very knowledgeable of the points of interest and was very pleasant in her presentation.

From Milan: Verona, Sirmione and Lake Garda Tour with Boat Cruise

Julie_D, Jun 2026

Verona and Sirmione - Worth the Trip!

I was super pleased when I found this tour. My son had never been to Verona (I had, but learned some new history this time) and I’d wanted to visit Sirmione last year, but time ran out. It’s a bit of a drive from Milan (2+ hours), but it’s pleasant when someone else is doing the driving. There was not as much walking on this tour as we’d experienced on previous tours, so we appreciated that also since our feet are tired! :) Great tour, would do again. Both places are magnificent. Don’t miss Sirmione! The boat tour was very short, but so nice. Beautiful day on the water, and all around.

Great Day Out at the Swiss Apls!

It was one of the best tour experience I ever had. The schedule was nice, not rushed at all. Ample time was given during the first stop on the way to St. Moritz. Also there was lots of time at St. Moritz to explore before getting on the Red Train. Angelo, the Tour Leader, gave very precise and clear instructions to the whole group. Not a single person was ever late! That made it a pleasant experience! Victor, our bus driver, drove well and kept us safe throughout the whole journey. It was a nice gesture that the tour company booked out a whole carriage for the group. Makes it feel very exclusive. Overall, a great trip. Thanks again to Angelo and Victor for taking good care of everyone and making the trip memorable!

Lara was amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much history and local insight throughout the tour. We were able to see all the major sights efficiently without feeling rushed. Lara was very accommodating, especially to those who needed to leave the tour early for Olympic events. Truly a fantastic guide and a great experience!
