Saw a lot in one day from Milan

Everything was good. The guide was very good and the basics of getting us there and showing us around a little bit. Not much discussion of interesting points of interest or things to do more than pointing where to go once we got to our drop off place. We’ve had other guides that stuck with us a little bit and discussed different interesting things which would have been maybe a little bit nicer. The negative thing was that the Driver smoked mini cigarettes right at the entrance of the bus. Then when he got on, there was a bad smoke smell coming from him for a while.

Como Bellagio Lugano Guided Tour

It was a well-prepared trip from the very beginning. I am satisfied with the detailed explanations and guides, including Lake Como and Bellagio. Lake Lugano in Switzerland also felt different from Lake Como. I want to express my gratitude for having such a great experience in Milan.

This was a wonderful tour...

This was a wonderful tour that exceeded all my expectations. I especially like Lugano, it was paradise. Matteo made the tour even better with his knowledge and historical facts about the surroundings.
