Customer Reviews
Just a great time! A wonderful boat ride past all the beautiful villas. Then fun trips to Bellagio. We enjoyed all of it.! Linda from the USA
We had a wonderful time. Amato (our guide) was very helpful and well-informed. He helped us find a shop in Lugano, which was very kind of him. And And Antonio (our driver)!did an amazing job on twisty road that I would not want to walk on, let alone drive a bus! We would take this trip again.
The commute is long but worth it! The tour guide, Alice, was amazing and we had a great time.
