5.00We had the pleasure of visiting Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori with guide Micaela, and it was a very special experience. With passion and competence he made us discover wonderful corners and fascinating curiosities, managing to involve even the little ones: the children were very attentive to his stories! Thank you Micaela for making this day so interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

5.00Top Rhine Chapter Harley Davidson on Lake Maggiore: Micaela is an exceptional person, very kind and a guide of very high quality. Having the wrong meeting place, it was she who picked us up with the private boat at the place where we were. Micaela adapts perfectly to the circumstances and needs of customers (peeing, coffee laying, etc...) I was in charge of organizing this visit and it was thanks to Micaela that I received congratulations from the 20 people we were. I would highly recommend and will most definitely call on Micaela for another visit
A day to remember!

5.00We (2 couples) spent a week in Stesa and utilized Micaela & her husband's Blue Taxi service for several day trips. The highlight was our tour of the Borromean islands, 3 enchanting islands that we visited with a private boat and our incredible guide, Micaela. Her knowledge of the history of the Borromean family and the islands makes the tour so interesting! She seems to be an endless source of facts and valuable information of the Lake Maggiore region. It was a delightful day made much more so by having her accompany us on the tours. I highly recommend her and her husband, Davide!
An exellent experience!

5.00We were 3 couples enjoyed a private customized tour. Micaelas husband picked us up in Milan, and we felt we were in the best hands right from the start. Micaela was very professional and informative, yet also humorous and very charming. She was helpful with all of our requests, and organized both the guided boat trip/cruise, a tour at Isola Bella and a visit to a vineyard with wine tasting the next day. It was the highlight of our trip to Italy! We could not ask for more. Thank you so much, Micaela!!
