The boat ride, visiting Bellagio. Little disappointed with the construction part at bayside in Como. Have however understanding that the infrastructure has to be kept up. So many more people than it was in 89. Still a lovely tour. The tour guide Maurizio did a great job with enlightening information, recommendations and kept the group organized.

A very enjoyable day-long visit to Lake Como and Bellagio. The guide Lina was friendly, informative and very helpful in translating when I was purchasing some items from a Christmas market in the town of Como.
