5.00Julia was excellent. Very informative and helpful with recommendations. I recommend the private boat over the public. It was nice being able to go between the islands when we wanted rather than waiting with masses of people trying to crowd onto overcrowded boats.
Worth it after a hike!

5.00We had a great time on this two hour tour of Cinque Terre. Sara was an excellent captain and host and told us the history of the area. She brought us to a cave and we snorkeled with fish. This was a great activity to see where we hiked the day before. We felt welcomed, safe and informed. Great fun!
Great day with a pleasant and knowledgeable local tour guide

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Borromean Islands. Our local tour guide, Giulia Ferrari, was extremely knowledgeable about both the history of the islands and the plants in the gardens of both Isola Madre and Isola Bella. Though we didn’t have a reservation at the restaurant we chose for lunch at Isola dei Pescatori, she spoke up on our behalf and got us a table right over the lake. It was a very pleasant day and I don’t think we would have enjoyed it as much if we had just ventured to the islands on our own.

5.00My husband and I spent the day touring three Borromean Islands. Our private guide, Guilia Ferrante, brought them to life for us. She was incredibly knowledgeable about everything from plants, to architecture, and history. It was a wonderful day and added significantly to our enjoyment of Stresa and Lake Maggiore.
The tour was a bit...

4.00The tour was a bit perfunctory. I would expect a bit more for the cost of the guide plus boat transfer costs and entry fee for the two islands on top of that.
