Pleasant enough but rushed at times

Lynda_P, Sept 2023

It was a wonderful tour but too rushed in Lake Como. More time needed to explore or have the guide slow down. Guide was knowledgeable and attentive.

Bad experience

Diana_S, Aug 2023

Your Turist guide was so rushing and running which was not normal Any other group around us was not like that Horrifying experience I would not recommend this to anyone else Plus I have talked to other people in the group they have the same opinion!!

Short on time

Gregory_E, Aug 2023

Wish we had more time in Lugano. Maybe the tour should leave an hour earlier to add that time. Also wish our tour guide would have used radios for the Lake Como boat ride so we could understand more about the area. Group was all split up because of other people on board.

Lake Como & Lugano

Great trip

Eisa_A, July 2023

Excellent trip with excellent travel guides. We really had a great time with my family. Thank you and sure I will use this company again.

Ok but not great

tgougcpamsncom, July 2023

Minimal guidance, radios given out were defective, we went by coach but on the return part of the trip we were put on the train back to Milan.

Great experience

Yana_I, June 2023

Ciara - our guide was very pleasant to work with and so much fun. Thank you for a great and fun experience

Spectacular view of the Lakes

Rajat_R, Mar 2023

Lugano was spectacular as intimidated. The boat ride on lake Cumo was every bit spectacular as well. The tour guide did an excellent job keeping us on schedule.

Lake Como and Lugano Switzerland

Julian_W, Jan 2023

The Lake Como and Lugano tour was great. We stopped over in the city of Como, then caught a boat around the Lake for around an hour. The tour bus took us across the Swiss border to Lugano. We had 2 hours to see the city. Was a very nice day tour.

Worth it !

Bibi_B, Jan 2023

Booked this day trip to visit lake Como and Lugano in one day. Najma was a great tour guide and we enjoyed the boat ride on Lake Como. If you book the Lugano option be aware that the bus does not bring you back to the original meeting point. With this option, you will have to take the train from Lugano back to Milano Centrale. Despite this confusion, I enjoyed the day trip and would recommend it.

Amazing day

Paul_O, Nov 2022

Stunning Switzerland!!! Lake como boat trip was fantastic and beautiful scenery Switzerland was amazing so fresh and beautiful country

A definite must!

smcdermott6583, Oct 2022

The entire experience was unbelievable! Alot of the credit was because of our guide. I can’t believe I didn’t take her name. She was extremely knowledgeable and her passion for travel and history for both Italy and Switzerland were fantastic!!

Very comfortable,...

Maria_M, Sept 2022

Very comfortable, punctuality Knowledge of tour guide We wanted to buy Swiss chocolate from store they were not taking credit card

Very pleasant time

Patricia_Z, July 2022

We had a very pleasant time. The sightseeing was really wonderful. The day tour was perfect to know the lake and Lugano. We had enough time to have lunch and go around before meeting the group in the end of the day. Our tour guide was nice, with a good communication.

DISAPOINTED

Fabiola_M, July 2021

The trip was change to Lake Como and Bellagio. Not what we had plan and this tour price was less money, where is our refund?

Good package

Albert_M, Nov 2019

The tour guide Judie is very nice and accommodating. The Lake Como cruise is very nice. Also the visit to Lugano Switzerland is worth the trip.

El itinerario nos pareció estupendo.

Dolores_G, Jan 2020

Hemos quedado encantados. Una excursión de un dia muy bien organizada. Aunque el tour era en inglés y nosotros somos españoles, la guia hizo todo lo podible para que no perdieramos ninguna información importante. Una muy buena experiencia.
