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.

I loved Bellagio, its winding streets, and the shops and restaurants lining the steps. I’m disappointed I missed the view of the Alps because it rained all day, but it was still a pleasant boat ride on Lake Como.
