Trip to Lake Como

We had a lovely tour of Lake Como, Bellagio and Lugano. Our guide Sandra ( I think that’s her name ) and the bus driver were very helpful and made sure we had a nice time. However I felt that we had little time anywhere as when we got lunch we had to return to meeting point. There was also a long delay in getting the boat each time. I do realise such circumstances are outside control. It was very hot waiting in the sun. However the scenery was beautiful. I am glad I went
