Q:What measures are being taken to ensure staff health & safety during Bellagio & Varenna - The must-see places in Lake Como? Q:What is the policy on face masks and attendee health during Lugano & Lake Como-Bellagio Day Trip? Como and Bellagio is beautiful, so maybe choose a less busier time to go. Departure time: What a waste of the atmosphere.

She bought the tickets for the boat tour and told us to meet her at a certain time. Total review count and overall rating based on Viator and Tripadvisor reviews. We called trip advisor as soon as we made it back safe to explain what happened. I asked if there was any more they could do to help us as we were stranded and do not speak Italian and they told us to call trip advisor when we got back for more help and hung up on us. Most of the time we were on our own. Then ride the private car on the shores of the beautiful lake and north to the Italian Alps in Valtellina to explore its historic villages where you will have the opportunity to stop for an optional lunch in a typical restaurant. Favorite tour of Italy. The boat ride was nice but I wish the opening was bigger. This is a good tour only if you don't want any info or actual 'tour'. If its canceled because the minimum isnt met, youll be offered a different date/experience or a full refund. We are sorry that you didn't enjoy the tour. Head to the town of Stresa for a boat cruise and then explore the Borromean Islands of Bella and Pescatori to visit stunning palaces and gardens. Learn about Villa Monastero, the Church of St. George, and other picturesque gems during your second walking tour. Enjoyed the narration and the trip. It was hotter than Hades and the guide is not responsible for that. Worst experience of my life - tour guide LEFT US BEHIND!!! For a full refund, you must cancel at least 24 hours before the experiences start time. What a beautiful day trip! And then once on the ferry, it was packed people were sitting on the stairs and anywhere they could find a place. 08:00am the departure point is in via Manzoni,4.
