An excellently organised day trip to all the beautiful places mentioned in the description. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided very valuable insights about the places - and recommended some good spots too. In my experience this was the best day trip ever for our family :) Don’t think twice, ho ahead and book it - you’ll have a great time.

It was supposed to be beautiful in summer when the flowers are blooming. We had a rainy gloomy day a day before. On this day, the sky was blue, the vision was clear and the weather just perfect. The most important satisfactory experience, we had the area all to ourselves! No tourism crush, no lines, and no waiting time.

The best experience ever, we took the trip in 1/1/2023 it was the best choice to spend this day correctly the weather was so nice (a little bit cold but not a big deal) the guide she was so nice and explains an interesting information. Recommend to everyone who is in milano to take this trip (must must!!!!)

The tour was complete and enjoyable. The Guide was very aware of everyone and reported everything. As it is a very pretty town that is worth visiting, I suppose that the lake would be much more beautiful to visit in spring, with sun and light. We went in December and it was worth the trip.

Excellent organized day activity. It worths to follow it, rather to do a solo one.
