Bus ride took us to Lake Como and Lugano. Both beautiful towns. Ferry took us to Bellagio which is also very beautiful. Very relaxing day although lots of walking. The boat ride is very short. Just a ferry really to Bellagio. Probably ten minutes each way. Alicia was very helpful and knowledgable about the area.

Enjoyed the trip and Alejandro’s expert guidance. Highly recommended!
We had a great trip with Alejandro!
The receivers need to bee replaced, it was hard to hear over static.
Alexzandro was very good. A memorable day!
Lovely excursion to beautiful locations. Well-paced with enough time to walk around. Very good guides. Highly recommended
A great day from start to end. Most of the heavy lifting (travel) is done first, so it didn't feel like a slog for being quite a long day all in. Only wish they'd make a stop off at Como to take in the views - best views of the day bus you're on a moving bus
Perfect trip I ll come back again
The bus is comfortable and has charging ports (USB/USC-C, good for in between stops). The boat has inside and outside seating with padded seats. Onto the fun stuff… beautiful sights and I love that Matteo spent the first 10 minutes of each stop giving us the summary of the city. I feel like there was adequate free time in Bellagio and Lugano. This experience was well worth the money, especially as a solo traveller. Nico’s driving is top tier as he navigated many narrow roads. I would do this again.
The Lake Como and Switzerland tour was a great experience! Me and my wife had so much fun spending the day with Michele, who was so fun and knowledgeable, and getting to explore cities surrounding the lake. The views were beautiful every place we went and we would definitely recommend doing this when visiting Italy!
A good day out. Both places were great to walk around and have something to eat. Lots of time sitting on bus
Great day trip to Lake Como and Lake Lugano. Monica, our tour guide, was amazing and very friendly. Francesco, our driver, made sure we got to our destinations safely and in a timely manner. Overall this tour is definitely a must if you are visiting Milan. Lake Como and Lugano are amazing to see.
We had a fantastic day. Our tour guide Monica was fantastic. Very friendly and full of information. The tour was full of beautiful views and good free time. Would recommend.
Amazing day Everything was very well organised On time Clear instructions about pick up Very knowledgeable Felt very safe with the driver Francesco Monica our guide was very knowledgeable, funny and very helpful A wonderful Experience Thank you
Very disappointed with TAOTRAVEL. Would not recommend using this company for any tours. Customer Service is dreadful!!
Good value for money I enjoyed every bit of it The guide ELMA was Superb I 100% recommend when you're in Milan
It’s very nice experience and good day
Alejandro was very entertaining as a guide and made sure everything went smoothly.
Alejandro, our guide is a great guy, we enjoyed the tour
Everything was great we didn't have any problems!
Definitely recommend. Our guide Sabrina was so knowledgeable and helpful on where to eat. The scenery was beautiful and we were blessed with beautiful weather. The driver Giovanni was the best and picked us up on time and got us back safely.
Amazed experience. Both the driver and guide were Amazing!! Really enjoyed the trip. Thankyou!
Booked a tour on October 20th. Monica was a wonderful tour guide with a great sense of humor! She was very informative and everything was well-organized throughout the tour. Even though it drizzled a bit, she made sure we had a great experience. I highly recommend booking a tour with her!
What a fun and enjoyable experience. First off, we met our bus and guide Monica at 8:45 am. The drive was smooth and our driver Matteo's driving skills was impressive as we weave through winding and narrow roads to reach Lake Como. Our guide Monica provided us stories and descriptions of the places we visited giving us a birds eye view of the things we see. She is fun, hilarious and knowledgeable making our trip enjoyable and memorable. The lake is serene and calm with clouds hovering over the mountains providing a beautiful backdrop to a nice autumn day. We made our way to Bellagio with a ferry boat but be sure to be on time or you will miss your boat. Bellagio is a quaint village with lots of shops and restaurants. After 2 hrs we were transported to Lake Lugano another beautiful village where we splurged on chocolates! Thank you Matteo and Monica for a great time. You made this tour one for the books!
Monica was amazing! Matteo was a great driver and I really felt like it was well organize and a safe adventure. Wonderful information and the tour was marvelous! Will book again when I bring my daughter back. Thank you Monica and Matteo
This trip was wonderful for the family. Great views on the drive up and plenty of time to enjoy both Bellagio and Lugano. Our guide Monica was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and so fun. Such a relaxing and enjoyable trip.
Wonderful Guide and nice experience
Pick up- easy to find Guide Matteo was fabulous, friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. Value- 10/10 We spent the whole day and saw some of natures most beautiful places. We have a collection of lovely photos loved by all our insta family and friends. I would 100% recommend this trip. So much to see.
An amazing and friendly tour guide. We felt so at ease with her information and guidance. Great experience!
Tour guide was very informative and personable. She gave many recommendations. It was very rainy so the stops at Bellagio and Lugano were not as pleasant as it would be on a sunny day.
Amazing experience! I would definitely recommend!!
Barbara did an Excellent tour, knowledge of the area. Recommended
Great tour . Good value for money.
She was very professional, kind, and helpful. Her English was clear and easy to understand. We have taken several tours in different cities, and she was by far the best tour guide we’ve had. We truly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend her!
Had a wonderful time the guide was great and got us to all over the lake without any issue and plenty of time to explore
Very nice experience ..our guide was very nice and helpful and guided us really very well
Awesome experience and very helpful guide .
Best for everything , good value , fair size
Great trip guide. Knowledgeable and friendly. Would like a little more description on the trip itself. Be prepared for free time in Bellagio and Lugano 2-3 hours in each location. Boat ride not included - ferry to Bellagio is included.
Visiting lake como, bellagio and lungano was amazing. The scenery was fantastic and our tour guide was amazing. Her knowledge was fantastic and her playful nature put everyone at ease. If you have a spare day, I would highly recommend the tour with the boat ride, as you get to see so much and relax along the way.
Really nice day. Well organised, plenty of stop offs & just the right amount of time at each place. The tour guide was also great!
Guide was very clear and helpful, explaining sights along the way, giving advice about places to see in our free time, and even making lunch reservations for those who wanted it.
Great day trip to beautiful areas. Elinora is a Knowledgeable,helpful guide. Mateo is a skilled pleasant driver! Memorable scenery and cities/towns.
Fantastic value. Great itinerary. Clean comfortable bus, excellent driver Mario and friendly, very informative guide Chiara. This was definitely a highlight of our Italy visit! We stayed on schedule and it’s a great way to spend a day.
Excellent Ornella was absolutely fantastic!! She is very very knowledgeable!! Francesco knows how to drive!!
Great experience with an awesome guide Ornelia and Francesco
Madam Ornella is best guide.hepful amd nice guide
Nice trip with an excellent guide that used the busride to tell interesting stories about Italy and the region. The busdriver was very competent and got us safely around. Visiting Bellagio was interesting, however very touristic and packed. Lugano was nice and very clean. We recommend this trip if you want to have a day out of Milan and not drive yourself. The scenery around both the Como and Lugano lake is extraordinary!
The guide Bárbara gave plenty of information on the destinations and the wider areas. Had plenty of time in Bellagio and Lugano.
Nice visit at both locations but on your own to explore. Would be better if part of the time was with a guide explaining the history
