Explanation and all Information about entire day time frame and logistics, especially at the end of the trip needs to be explained in detail
Delays in travel with communication issues. Not so much time given to us stay in Ballegio, think before signing up for tour.
The visit to Como was not planned, but it was a pleasant surprise. Once we arrived in Bellagio, the interesting part of the visit to Lake Como begins. An hour of cruising on a two-deck boat, relaxing on the lake, is priceless. The boat was exclusively reserved for our group, so we enjoyed plenty of space and seating for everyone. The boat tour is truly worth the detour.
The concept of the tour was intriguing, however, the guided tour lady was a bit too much. When we got to each destinations we were in each site for less than an hour. The tour states 2 hrs. in each area. Spent more time getting to locations rather then touring the area.
Cecilia was a good guide. Very pleasant and helpful. I was impressed by the way she handled the large crowd
It was absolutely amazing! Our tour guy Alejandro is the best guide we have found everywhere! He was funny, understanding, very knowledgeable and kept an eye on everyone in the group to ensure nobody was left behind! Amazing how he was saying everything in English and Spanish and did not miss one joke during the translation! The views of Como are amazing, the food was fantastic! Highly recommended
First, our guide was fabulous!! But the arrangements from Viator were not!! If you book this tour from Como, make sure that the meeting directions are clear. We didn’t know that we were the only ones meeting a bus tour that had come from Milan. So, when we we found out that tour was going back to Milan, we asked our guide what we had to do to get back to Como. He was wonderful and called to get us train tickets back to Como, and show us how to take the train. We were then on our own getting back. Again, not the guides fault, but the organizers of the tour.
It was great, although visiting Como would have been much better with a guide rather than being left alone for an hour. We're losing the story, etc. Lugano was the most appropriate city to see, because we were alone at the end. Very disappointed to have taken a view instead of a boat to go along Lake Como. With the bus and traffic jams, you can't see anything and above all it's too long and it impacts time on other cities to visit on the spot. Especially since the weather was beautiful in the morning. Thanks to Alex for his good humor.
The tour was cancelled but we were not informed by trip advisor. We only found out about it when the coach did not show up at the allocated time and venue. I am still pending refund from the tour operator. Communication between trip advisor and customers should be improved. We were disappointed but probably more so with the poor communication.
Cruise around Como and Bellagio was good. But city tour was a little redundant for customers setting off from Como given that we are already based there, the time could have been channelled to Bellagio tour which was too short for sight seeing and lunch and longer cruise time. Overall It was still gd.
