This was an amazing day touring Lake Como and Switzerland. It was breathtakingly beautiful and my husband and I enjoyed every minute of it! Our tour guide Amato did a great job. He was knowledgeable, charismatic and funny. We were also in good hands with Ion our bus driver. We felt safe as he is an excellent driver. I highly recommend this tour.

Sara was very informative, caring and put some humor into it. She made me laugh many times. The scenery from our bus and on the boat was beautiful. Bellagio was so pretty. Lots of shops and restaurants. Lugano, Switzerland was a short visit; however, the chocolate store was a highlight.
