Excellent Private tour with Micaela of Isola Bella

We did a private tour of isola bella and the palazzo. Micaela was an excellent guide giving us all the information we needed and also allowing us our own space and time to enjoy the splendour of the palazzo. Would very much recommend her for a private tour or group tour

Borromean Islands, unique experience!!!

Although we had the rainy day, we managed to get to know the beautiful gardens and palaces. Micaela explained in a very pleasant way the history of the place. The experience was very nice, enriching and fun!! She even started dancing!!!!

Visit isola Bella

We took a private tour with Micaela, at the end of the day to visit isola Bella. It was really perfect. Good value for money. Micaela is passionate and exciting and adapts perfectly to customers. Explanations are never pompous. His knowledge is very varied between history, botany, politics, art and even wine. Thanks again, Micaela.

Excellent private tour of the Borromean Islands with the wonderful Micaela!

We absolutely loved our private tour by boat of the Isola Bella palace and gardens, as well as a guided stroll of the quaint village on Isola Pescatori, ending with a lovely cruise around Isola Madre. Our lovely tour guide, the ‘famous’ Micaela, was the best!! She was informative, and fun! The Borromean Islands of Lago Maggiore are beautiful, and Micaela’s knowledge of the islands, as well as Lago Maggiore in general, are top notch! We could not have been happier with our wonderful experience taking in the beauty and history of this special place, and we highly recommend the guidance and expertise of the fantastic Micaela!

Well done Micaela!!!

Despite the worst day in April it was a fantastic experience!! All this thanks to Micaela's skill, it is truly true that the guide's comoetenza and empathy transforms a normal excursion into something to remember...!!

Operator response

Caro Giovanni, grazie mille per questa bellissima recensione e per la precedente mail di apprezzamento. Ha ragione! Il nostro pomeriggio di visita all'isola Bella e al palazzo Borromeo è stata una delle peggiori giornate come meteo non solo di aprile ma di tutta questa piovosa e fredda primavera! La vostra recensione mi fa quindi ancora più piacere. E' davvero bello sapere che voi e i vostri amici avete comunque trascorso un piacevole pomeriggio in mia compagnia. Grazie davvero! Mando a tutti voi un carissimo saluto, Micaela

Micaela was excellent, just as other reviewers had noted. Our family, driving from Switzerland was late on arriving - she most graciously accommodated. Micaela thank you for a most enjoyable, entertaining, knowledgeable and memorable tour. Becky

A great Lake Maggiore private boat experience

Our private boat tour from Stresa with Micaela was a fabulous way to see Lake Maggiore and felt like a millionaire experience but at a very fair price. We met Micaela at the boat and she was a convivial hostess with very good English (as opposed to our terrible Italian!) and soon realised that we were happy just enjoying the stunning lake scenery in the late afternoon with a glass of wine in hand. Micaela had suggested dinner at Fisherman's Island which couldn't have been better. The setting overlooking the lake was beautiful and the meal was similarly very good. The restaurant provided a boat to return us to the mainland which was almost as much fun as the trip over to the island. All in all, a great tour and I'd recommend anyone who visits Lake Maggiore to seek Micaela out as she was also very helpful putting the booking together in addition to providing a fabulous experience.

Dear Chris, thank you so much for taking the time to write your wonderful review. I am really glad that you and your friends agreed to my suggested itinerary and enjoyed your Lake Maggiore private sunset boat tour and the rest of your evening. It is always a good idea to get in touch with me to check what itinerary is suitable to one's needs so that I can customise the best lake Maggiore experience / tour to meet your interests and budget! And I have to admit that you are right when you say that you felt like a millionaire....my guests often tell me they felt like Vips! Thank you Chris, ciao! Micaela
