Bellagio and boat ride on Como Lake overseeing beautiful Villas was worth it on this trip. Jo (Josefina), our tour guide was excellent and explained all the highlights enthusiastically. Pro tip - sit on the right side of the ferry for boat ride from Bellagio to Como for fantastic lakeside views.

We loved this tour. We enjoyed the bus ride that gave us views from above the lake we loved the boat ride to Bellagio where we had lunch. We liked seeing the shopping areas with our guide Josie and have her tell us history of the area and the hydro boat that took us from Lagono to Como.

Great Trip to Lugano/Como

Great trip with awesome guide Joe (Josepina). We wwnt to Lugano Switzerland first, beautiful town near lake Lugano and then went to lake Como. In Como we went to Village Bellagio - world famous little town. After spending time there we took boat that had us go toward Como city. Boat tour was great as it took good two hours and passed through wonderful towns and famous estates like George Clooney, etc. Guide was very good as she knew tons of information about both Milano and Lugano and Como area. Highly recommend this trip.

Pretty good, but could have been better. There was a famous yearly festival in Lugano which prevented the bus from parking in the usual spot, so we drove around for about an hour looking for a place for them the drop us off. This should have been researched before the tour.
