What are people saying about Milan

From Milan: Venice Full-Day Guided Tour With Boat Ride

Judith_G, May 2026

Tour of Venezia

A great way to see Venezia with limited time. Our tour guide Mara at Milano was fabulous. She was friendly, extremely vigilant and helpful. Our tour was during an extremely rainy day and she wasn't fazed by the wet conditions. We met Barbara in San Marco and she was also very informative and easy to communicate with. We loved our tour and having free time. We were only a small group of 13 which is very manageable. I saw other tours of 30 or more and don't know how they stayed together. Even in the rain it was very crowded in the smaller areas. It was a long day but well worth the time and money.

Amazing lake Como and Bellagio experiences

We enjoyed a most enjoyable day trip to Lake Como. Our guide Sonia and driver Tony were fabulous. They got to the meeting places early to greet us and Sonia always made sure no one was left behind at every stop. Tony’s driving skills were top notch. He got us there and back safely. The sceneries were stunning.

Salvatore was a great...

Salvatore was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and we really appreciated his humor. He is a truly nice individual and he provided us with a great deal of information that we might not have thought to ask about otherwise. He was also very professional in dealing with all types of people on the tour. He definitely warrants an excellent rating!

Superb experience.

Travelled with Tao travel, the wonderful duo of Fabrizio, our driver, and Marie Christina. They were so cheerful and helpful at all times and made the experience everything we hoped it would be. Spectacular scenery and opportunities to take photographs through the train windows in our organised group. Excellent commentary throughout.

Best Guide for the Best of Milan

The Best of Milan tour exceeded our expectations. We had the most amazing guide name Chiara. Through her passion for Milan and the culture we learned a lot of interesting history while seeing some spectacular sites. The Duomo and The Last Supper were beyond amazing and with our guide we got right in with no waiting. Me, my wife, and our 14 year old son enjoyed the entire day, thank you!

Wonderful tour! Sylva...

Wonderful tour! Sylva was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and patient. We got a very good historical tour of the Duomo followed by a walk through the city (with points of interest to visit later) to Sforza castle culminating with visit with a thorough description of The Last Supper. Just enough explanation and quiet time with this legendary work of art.

What a wonderful trip....

What a wonderful trip. Barbara shared so much interesting and helpful knowledge, kept things running smoothly, and was very pleasant. Both Bellagio and Lugano were beautiful and the ferry ride was enjoyable. Lakes and scenery were amazing. Our bus driver was amazing on those tight turns above Lake Como. Highly recommend.

Awesome Experience

We enjoyed our tour of the Duomo with our guide Elena. She had a wealth of knowledge to share with us. We especially enjoyed the rooftop tour. We were amazed how high we actually climbed and were awed by the views. Elena did a great job organizing the tour and navigating the amount of people o the roof and inside the church. We highly recommend this tour.

Mark_C, May 2026

A fun day trip, which flowed really nicely.

The whole day flowed smoothly - it was a long trip, but very worthwhile. A lot of time is spent sitting in transport of course - bus and train. But you see a lot from the windows, and you get to stop off in a couple of places. I'd definitely recommend this as a good way to experience the area.

Tour to Como, Bellagio & Lugano from Milan with Lake Como Cruise

Xiomara_T, Apr 2026

Alicia was Great!

Beautiful tour to get the best of each stop. Alicia was awesome and very organized and knowledgeable. Very friendly and helpful! We recommend booking this tour as it covers spectacular places in just one day! We rated 5 star because we think it was well deserved. However we would like to recommend spend more time on Como city. It was a little rush during the morning (less than 40 min) and we understand time schedules but maybe if you extend pickup an hour before people would have a little extra time to explore and have a less stressed time to pass by this beautiful place! Lastly our experience on the bus… air conditioning was too hot and we were sweating! Please make sure drivers set the AC to a more comfortable temperature! Besides those 2 recommendations we had a great time and would definitely consider booking with this company again!

Boguslawa_B, Oct 2025

Wonderful experience

This trip is a must while in the area . The meeting place was easy to find . Alex, our tour guide , was very patient and informative. Verona and Sirmione are true jems with wonderful cobblestone streets with wonderful shops and cafes . The boat ride was beautiful and relaxing, although a little too short. We definitely will be back in Italy and will be using Viator for our daily trips.
