    Travelled with family

    We had a lovely time on this tour. Our guide Julia was very knowledgeable about both the villas and also gave us tips on how to get the most out of our holiday. Would recommend

    Travelled as a couple

    The boat tour left our Hotel Landing at 9:15. We were on the boat travelling south as far as Isola Comacina and docked at Bellagio at 10:30. We then had two & three quarter hours in Bellagio, returning to our Hotel Landing in Menaggio at 13:30. CONCLUSION-We saw a limited amount of the Lake in approximately one & half hours, on a tour advertised as 2-4 hours, at a cost of £82 per person. NOT value for money!
