Bellagio Tour
Decent tour, but would not recommend. I would suggest visiting the gardens, but then spending the remaining time in the historical section of Bellagio. Other parts of the tour were a lot of walking to see little.
Operator response
I am so sorry because there may have been a misunderstanding when I asked you if you preferred a shorter or longer tour through the villages of Bellagio. It would certainly have been preferable to shorten the walk and dedicate more time to the historic village also because during your visit it rained all day and you could not appreciate the beauty of Villa Giulia and the ancient village of Pescallo. Thank you, I will certainly take your suggestions into account. Best regards Cristina

Bellagio Tour
Cristina was a delightful tour guide. We walked for hours and she shared much information about the area. I enjoyed seeing everything on a walk as we could stop and take in the area at my pace.

Lake Como stunning place but overall disappointing
Overall I was disappointed with Lake Como, it’s a stunning location but restaurants at the front of Bellagio I found the waiters surly and food so so. The boats to other parts are tired and old particularly the express boat I mean at the very least clean the windows as we all go for the view of the lake and the windows were dirty! Toilets are just about adequate and the ability to not be able to book your return journey until you get there is so inefficient and not helpful at all to tourists who were all moaning about it. I doubt whether these boats are regularly updated and I really worry about the safety aspect. If you cut corners in cleaning are you cutting corners with safety?
Come on Italy you need to do better! We went to Lake Lucerne on the way back in Switzerland and I would say don’t bother with Como go to Lucerne absolutely amazing place and they care about tourists!

Absolutely beautiful!
One of the most breathtaking places I have ever visited! Would love to go back again! If travelling by boat, don’t bother taking the express boat as you’ll have to stay inside and it isn’t possible to see property out of the windows!

Really enjoyable day in the Garden!
Christina was so gracious and knowledgeable we felt like family. She allowed us to progress at our own pace and ask many questions so we feel the tour is a must.

Incredible place but left disappointed.
Incredible location but please beware, once you visit this place, you will not be able to board the boat to return to Como unless you have a specific mask. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a scam to keep tourists in Bellagio. Nowhere in Italy including the boat that my friend and I boarded to arrive here, was there any information about the any requirements for having to wear an FFP2 NR mask.
We, as well as another 15-20 people have now missed the last boat, and will need to wait until 10pm for a bus. It’s a disgusting way to have been treated. Authorities need to respect people who come here to spend their hard earned money. They need to put signs up everywhere, including at the port in Como, so that everyone is informed about regulations. How hard can it be?

Beautiful town, a must see, a day visit or to stay a week
A beautiful
Stunning town. Lovely promenade, and narrow cobbled street with eateries, classy shops. A nice town to walk around and also go off the main area to a small fishing area called pescado. Worth the 30 minute walk to get away from
The busiest of Bellagio
