Wonderful experience! The drive up to Como was relaxing and comfortable in the air conditioned bus. The views were amazing. We were given ample time and freedom to explore Bellagio before leaving for Lugano. While we didn't have as much free time in Lugano, it was still enough to do some light shopping or to grab a snack. Our guide, Sara, was helpful in providing details for anyone that wanted to stay in Lugano and catch a train back to Milan. She also provided transportation tips for finding the best way back into Milan from Garabaldi Station. This was our best experience while visiting Milan. I recommend sitting on the right side of the bus for the best views.
What kept my review from being excellent was, now that I think of it, not the responsibility of the tour. However, the issue was with late returning participants. It was rude - I think if you’re not back after a few minutes of grace, those folks should be left behind-especially if the same people are late more than once.
Was a great day out. Didn’t have a lot of time in Lugano due to the time constraints. We wanted to thank our tour guide Zara. She helped track down the coach drivers location after the trip as we had left a phone on it. Thanks to Zara we found our phone.
Rikardo is the best guide ever, funny, kind, very responsible. Go with Rikardo . The trip was wonderful, breathtaking views, worth evey cent :)
It was really an amazing trip, Sara our guide was very informative and knew all the history of our locations and took the time to explain in great details, she was also effortlessly funny and made the trip fun. Lugano was a beautiful location, would definitely recommend this trip anyday
