We had a great day out,... - We had a great day out, even though the weather wasn’t that great. Our guide was great very informative. We had a lovely coaching for the driving part of the trip. Nice to say we had visited Switzerland and purchased some nice chocolates. Belargio was a beautiful place with a lovely boat ride to return. I thought it was great value for money.

Rain into Sunshine - Andreas was a joy to be with. Very gifted guide, so genuine and helpful. The history and information was excellent and well communicated in English as well as other languages. We followed his suggestions for food/lunch in Bellagio . Even though it rained part of the time , he made it all worth it. Glad we celebrated 43 years of marriage here in Como, so in our mid sixties the tour wasn’t too taxing. Yes, public ferry was used and it wasn’t a problem at all with us. Thank you Andreas for making the tour unforgettable

A review a Travel Advisor loves to hear about. - I am writing this on behalf of my clients, M/M McCormick, had a wonderful trip. Everything could not have been better. Their guide, Andrea, explained everything and had a wondeful sense of humor. His English was very good. *****

Too much time on the bus.... - Too much time on the bus. No need to go to Lugano. 1:15 hours to and from and 50 minutes at Lugano doesn’t make sense.

Not as advertised - Not the experience we had enticipated. Not as much as an enchanting boat cruise as advertised. We spent most of the trip on a bus and felt as though we had little time to explore. During the tour, the audio transmitters/receivers didn't work for the majority of the trip so it wasn't a guided tour. I came away from the trip with the same information I had entering it. The boat cruise was actually on the public ferry boat which can be very crowded and difficult to find seating outside with a view. If I was to go again, I would book a space on the ferry and navigate the route myself. However, the view was lovely, the tour guide was friendly and the bus driver was very good.

Not Great - This is an extremely long day - if you are unfortunate enough to end up with the reversed day where you start on the bus first to Lugano, there is a likely chance you end up in Bellagio at primetime. The ferries are not built to handle the capacity and it turns into madness. We stood in the hot sun with no protection for 45 mins waiting for a late overloaded ferry to get back to Como and it was somewhat miserable. The town was mobbed with people trying to leave. Not completely the tour’s fault but it seems the area needs to adjust the efficiency and process of the ferries or the tour needs to alter their offering to accommodate these glaring issues.
