I really liked the tour. We were able to visit and see many things; above all, the transportation management was a pleasure because you don't have to worry about what to take or anything, since everything is organized and you just have to follow the guides. Maybe I would have liked a bit more explanation on a historical level and some small details, but it was great anyway. One thing to mention: the morning meeting point to catch the bus is not very clear, as the app says "Central Station" and the email says their office in the city center. Luckily, we arrived with plenty of time and were able to manage and take taxis, but it would be good to correct this for future visits so as not to confuse people. Miguel, the other girl, and Xavi were all lovely and very kind at all times. Thank you very much for this experience.

Everything in general. The morning boat ride to Bellagio was very relaxing. Then the visits to Bellagio (2h), Varenna (40 min), and Como (approx. 1h at the end of the tour). The ferry transfers were quick and seamless, not exhausting at all, even though we shared them with quite a few tourists. The guides we got (Miguel Ángel and Guillermo) were very friendly and gave us tips at all times. They were absolute legends. And a shout-out also to the bus driver who took us there and brought us back without any issues. I recommend this tour if you don't want to worry about buying tickets, especially during transfers from one place to another, so you can go directly to the sights you want to see. Especially if you only have 1 day for a round trip.

The whole experience was excellent! Our Tour Guide And Driver took good care of us during the tour. The time spent in each place was enough time for us. We will definitely consider returning and staying in Como!

I enjoyed the small group atmosphere of the trip and the ability of the vehicle to maneuver around the lake. I enjoyed our guide and his polite presentation of the information as we passed different sites.

Seemed like we got dropped off in places without much "guiding " in the towns We saw other tour groups that were getting more information from their guides like architectural aspects of the Duomo in Como were our guide just told us what time to meet to get back on the bus Probably 1/2 hour too long in Cuome and Bellagio- maybe because I wasn't interested in shopping
