If you don’t have a lot of experience in trains, busses, boats this was so ideal. He met us at a pre designated spot at the train station led us into the train,, narrated along the way. Took us to Villa Carlotta, the beautiful gardens, Bellagio and Varenna. All very beautiful. You might wish for a little longer free time in Bellagio or Varenna but then you’d miss the Villa. We thought it was great! Lots of stairs everywhere.. but you can stay on the lower lake view level at a cafe if mobility is a problem. Basically you leave Milan train station about 8:20 and get back home 5:30 ish. It’s a great tour! Highly recommend

One of the most beautiful places we have visited! Breathtaking views and Perfect weather! Emilio was very knowledgeable about the artwork and the area. He made sure we had all the good views on the trains and ferry! He was an awesome tour guide for the day!

We enjoyed our 10 hour tour of Lake Como from pick-up to drop off at Milano Centrale. Emilio has a detailed knowledge of the area and its sites, and a passion for his job. The itinerary is well-organized and includes some free time for wandering and shopping. We particularly enjoyed Varenna and were very happy we took Emilio up on his offer to lead us up the hill on a guided tour of two older churches. Some downsides: a couple of the ferry rides were VERY crowded (uncomfortable like a NY subway) and the price is high especially considering that gratuities were not included.

Great experience, amazing view. Highly recommended The tour guide was very helpful and friendly.
The only thing: the company should provide more information about meeting point. The details are very important!!!

Our guide was Emilio and as my friend and I were the only ones who signed up for the tour, it ended up becoming a private tour for the two of us by default. Emilio was absolutely fantastic and Villa Carlotta was beautiful and full of interesting art. However, for me, the best part was the gardens. We had a rainy day but Emilio still made it fun. He also had an excellent suggestion for lunch.

Our tour guide Emilio was wonderful. He was well organized, and the pace of visiting the different islands was well done. He was very kind and patient. My husband and I ended up being the only people on the tour and yet he still took us out.! The train ride from Malon to Varena went smoothly. The visit to Villa Carlotta was beautiful. Villagio is also very beautiful. We had a very nice lunch there. Was not much time to shop, but we got to see everything. Would definitely go again. Thank you so much, Emilio.

Mixed trip. Difficulties with transit, not the fault of the guide and he responded as well as he could. however, the fault lines with the tour company. However as good as the guide was in getting us from location to location he was poorly informed and unable or disseminate accurate information about the sites visited.
