My husband & I had a great time on this group tour. Our guide Mr. A was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He offered tips as to where to sit on the boat and good recommendations on where to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and look forward to using this company again.

The trip was very well paced and organized. Elma explained everything very well and gave us an incredible amount of information on the boat and on foot. The price was fair considering everything we experienced and saw. I wish we left earlier so we had more time to explore Bellagio and Como city, but it was a long enough trip as is. My advice to any potential attendees is to pick 1-2 things to do/see per stop, any more and you'll be rushing too much. Highly recommend for first time visitors of the region.
