Fantastic, I loved the experience
Amazing guide and bus drivers. Thank you Matteo, Edwardo and Nico! Beautiful scenery, time to spend sightseeing, food and drinks. Lovely modern bus with air con and water. Good pace and Lake Como just stunning. Would do this trip again!
This tour provided an opportunity to get out of the city and to see mountains, lakes, flowers, and more. Our guide Maja did an excellent job with both her descriptions and instructions as we visited a most beautiful part of Italy and Switzerland. The bus was very comfortable and the two hours each in Bellagio and Lugano were greatly appreciated.
Guide Maja was very knowledgeable about the area and the bus driver Enzo did an amazing job on some very narrow roads. Whole day was well organised with plenty of free time to explore in your own
Brilliant experience well worth the trip from Milan! Excellent guide and well organised! Be there in plenty of time for coach in the morning as it’s chaos! There are so many coaches and so many tours at the same time we were nearly out on wrong bus twice! Can’t explain how beautiful lake como and Lugano Switzerland was! Highly recommended!
Worth while long day visit to lovely places. Bellagio is unique and charming. Lots to see but can just looking around is rewarding
The trip was efficient and we did a lot in one day! Lake Como was beautiful and the extra bonus was visiting Lugano!
