We had our tour in the pouring rain so not the best. Our guide and boat captain were knowledgeable and kind. We learned a lot and enjoyed our time.
It was a wonderful experience on this special tour in Lake Como. Tour guide Margaret was very attentive and the tour was very informative. We really had a wonderful time at Carlotta. The water cruise afterward was also the highlight of the tour. Since we were the only couple on this tour, it felt like a private tour in the end. Highly recommend this to those who are 1st timer in Lake Como. A great way to get to know more about history and background of the city.
