These are two different tours you are asking about. The first was a self guided tour of Milan's Duomo, which included the terraces, inside the cathedral and the museum. Loved it but, as with all self guided tours, you miss many details. It was exactly what I expected. The second tour of Lake Como , Lugano and Bellagio was exceptional. This tour far exceeded my expectations. Riccardo, our tour guide, was engaging, informative, clear on expectations from the group which made for a timely, efficient tour which benefitted all. It was a bilingual tour - English and Spanish. He made certain the info was shared equally... started sometimes with English, sometimes with Spanish. He never asked for a great review. It was just such a great tour, I felt like I wanted to tell others about it. Honeatly, do this tour with Riccardo Capra. You will even go to Switzerland! I am glad we did!

The guide was very professional and the trip was very nice. What would be good to improve is the communication between Headout and the local company as i almost missed the trip due to wrong pick-up place. Local entity only used WhatsApp to try to contact me, no email, no call and if I had not called myself to ask and had I not done this on time, I would have missed it...got there 5 min before the bus leaving...

Our tour guide, Laura, was great, as well as the bus driver, Gigi. Laura was funny and informative. It was a great way to see several areas without the hassel of figuring out the logisitics ourselves. It would have been nice to have more time in Lugano and Bellagio. However, it's already a long day ,and you get the idea of each area. I would recommend this tour.

Comfortable pace with a great guide Kiara. Kiara was very knowlegable and helpful. We had ample time at both Como and Bellagio to get a good taste of each.

Discover Italy’s third-largest lake, on a seamless day trip from Milan, featuring a panoramic cruise, time in villa-lined Bellagio, and a guided walk through Como, known for its silk-making heritage.

Begin with a scenic coach ride from Milan, then cross the lake by ferry to Bellagio, where you’ll have free time to explore cobbled lanes, waterfront views, and café-lined squares.

Continue to Como for a guided walk through its historic center, from the lakeside promenade to Piazza Duomo, with context on its architecture and long-standing silk industry.

Set out on a panoramic Lake Como cruise, passing elegant villas, mountain backdrops, and lakeside towns along the shoreline.

Too big group. The audio tape was not functioning properly since the guide was far away and had no idea where the tour people are!! Also, I had called Headout office specifically and they gave me not the correct picture and wrong info about the tour. A bit disappointing!

Everything went smoothly. It was a nice trip, and we had a great guide. The guide arranged for us to sit next to each other since the bus had filled up before we arrived.
