It was a little stressful to start as wasn't initially clear how to find out bus (if guide is assisting others then not clearly visible where told to find them). Bellagio was our favourite and we enjoyed a lovely lunch at one of the recommended options (112 euro for family of 4-not the cheapest or most expensive option). Guide was very informative throughout, providing clear instructions for meet times and places at each destination. Again this wasn't the cheapest or most expensive trip we looked at but the Exclusive Boat made this one stand out and when you see the cues for tickets even though we were kept to a strict schedule and limited time for exploring it was sufficient for us and I'm glad we choose the tour option.

Ajo’s honestly the best guide ever — super friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything so fun. We loved exploring Como, Bellagio, and Lugano, and Ajo really brought each place to life with her stories and tips. Definitely recommend!🫶🏻🚤
