A wonderful experience topped off with a magical cruse home! - Adriano was an excellent guide who was attentive to our needs and very informative about all of the magnificent places we visited on our tour around Lake Como! Highly recommend this magical experience, although hint, was spectacular to experience! Glad we did the bus up and got to experience the beautiful lake on our return. Bellagio is just so gorgeous! Asian, thank you so much. These memories will live on for a lifetime. Sincere Elbert & Mary VP.

a fantastic journey - A journey through landscapes that seemed straight out of a fairy tale. We started from Como, elegant and bright, where every corner tells history and beauty. Then, by boat to Bellagio, the pearl of the lake: flowery alleys, breathtaking views and a timeless romantic atmosphere. Finally Lugano, with its Swiss charm, modern and natural at the same time. In just three days, a concentration of emotions, postcard views and unforgettable moments. Absolutely to do!

The experience was as good as the Como view! Bellissimo !!!! - I’d say just the beauty of Lake Como, and the graciousness of the people in all our stops. Learned a lot of the culture and History, which we found very interesting. I’d say the only negative we found was that we had to walk back almost a mile from where the bus dropped us off to the meeting point. Gotta figure that out folks. Our guide was ver engaging, friendly and went out of her way to provide us with everything needed for a great experience. Good job Viator!! That’s why we keep coming back.

Disappointed - Unfortunately on my “tour” it was a huge disappointment. We taxied from tremezzo to the meet point in Como, a one hour drive rushing to be there as directed by 8:45 am, 15 mins before 9:00 am, to check in. We were at the meet point on time and no one else was there yet. As minutes passed a few others started to show asking us if we were at the correct meet point (it was). Our tour guide finally showed up late at about 9:15 and started to check everyone in and hand out radios. Thus took up much time, then she tells us to follow her … we are walking on along busy city streets for about 30 minutes she’s saying something about the city but could not make out what was being said. We finally get to our coach bus. While sitting on the bus waiting to head to Lugano ( our main reason to take the tihus tour) our guide is outside the bus with two people (her microphone is on) we can hear everything now on our radios, Sophie the two people had accidentally cancelled their tour and wanted to join the tour… discussion went on for another 20 minutes of back and forth.. they could not join the tour. So now we are starting our tour quite late with guide initially showing up late and the discussion outside of the bus. We head to Lugano.. exit the bus .. wuvkky told you can go on your own and explore Lugano.. be back at 11:30.. (we had about 45 minutes to rush to get done chocolate and a sandwich to eat on the bus. No time for much else We left Lugano on the bus , taken to Menaggio to just get on the overcrowded public ferry to Bellagio. We had two hours in Bellagio to do our own exploring and return to ferry ride back to starting point in como, we opted to exit the ferry at tremezzo as that was where we were staying. My advice DO NOT TAKE THUS TOUR. Find something else… read all reviews… or go on your own.. save money and maximize your time .

See above - Avoid like the plague. Although the itinerary that we booked/paid for was advertised for 15 people, it turns out that there were 40! The sole tour guide was overwhelmed & the transistor equipment provided to communicate was akin to smoke signals or an aldis lamp. Communication from the main office was poor & when we expressed multiple times that we weren’t going to provide a CC number on WhatsAp, they couldn’t provide a secure payment portal. There are reviews of “terrible” for this sh*tshow for a reason.
