Great landscapes, good amount of sightseeing but (gor me) a bit lacking info about main sightseeings in Belaggio and Lugano, also Como - understand that too less time but still..

Started with a comfortable bus ride from Milano Centrale this spot was very convenient to find, in fact we had reached out on WhatsApp per day and prior to coordinate the meeting. Our guide Ms Bibi and our driver Mr Andrew came with infectious energies, the hyped our Trip up by leaps and bounds. We were around 40 people, and two people did not come back on time, we lost almost 40 minutes because of them however the Trip team waited for them, while I appreciate time and I appreciate punctuality, it is nice that we waited for them. The private boat tour was incredible as well, you get to see the beauty of Lake Como from local perspective. The trip ended and we were back by about 7 pm. For one of my fellow travellers, the highlight was being able to be in two countries in 10 hours, I am definitely someone who giggled at that overall? It was a great experience. You could also buy water on board for €1 each. The Wi-Fi in the bus did not work however it was something I was not inconvenienced by. The

The best part was the tour's organization - everything went smoothly, the departures were really punctual. The tour guide juggled three languages -English, Spanish and Italian with incredible ease. She was witty, well-informed, helpful and genuinely interested in her tourists. The bus driver 's skills were awe-inspiring - he managed to drive the vehicle gently on narrow winding roads. Applause to all those involved in ghe tour's organisation! And Swiss chocolate in Lugano tasted awesome!👍🙏💪🌷🌹👍

We took the June 23 tour with Ana, and it was fabulous. The tour started right on time, everything was explained in detail, and it was bilingual. Ana is a gem—it was a wonderful day visiting three places. I also liked having some free time at each stop. I’d highly recommend it. The bus driver was also great (I don’t remember his name, but I think it started with a J). Thanks, Ana! :) We hope to see you soon at your lake house!
