Started with a comfortable bus ride from Milano Centrale this spot was very convenient to find, in fact we had reached out on WhatsApp per day and prior to coordinate the meeting. Our guide Ms Bibi and our driver Mr Andrew came with infectious energies, the hyped our Trip up by leaps and bounds. We were around 40 people, and two people did not come back on time, we lost almost 40 minutes because of them however the Trip team waited for them, while I appreciate time and I appreciate punctuality, it is nice that we waited for them. The private boat tour was incredible as well, you get to see the beauty of Lake Como from local perspective. The trip ended and we were back by about 7 pm. For one of my fellow travellers, the highlight was being able to be in two countries in 10 hours, I am definitely someone who giggled at that overall? It was a great experience. You could also buy water on board for €1 each. The Wi-Fi in the bus did not work however it was something I was not inconvenienced by. The

These are two different tours you are asking about. The first was a self guided tour of Milan's Duomo, which included the terraces, inside the cathedral and the museum. Loved it but, as with all self guided tours, you miss many details. It was exactly what I expected. The second tour of Lake Como , Lugano and Bellagio was exceptional. This tour far exceeded my expectations. Riccardo, our tour guide, was engaging, informative, clear on expectations from the group which made for a timely, efficient tour which benefitted all. It was a bilingual tour - English and Spanish. He made certain the info was shared equally... started sometimes with English, sometimes with Spanish. He never asked for a great review. It was just such a great tour, I felt like I wanted to tell others about it. Honeatly, do this tour with Riccardo Capra. You will even go to Switzerland! I am glad we did!

The guide was very professional and the trip was very nice. What would be good to improve is the communication between Headout and the local company as i almost missed the trip due to wrong pick-up place. Local entity only used WhatsApp to try to contact me, no email, no call and if I had not called myself to ask and had I not done this on time, I would have missed it...got there 5 min before the bus leaving...

Our tour guide, Laura, was great, as well as the bus driver, Gigi. Laura was funny and informative. It was a great way to see several areas without the hassel of figuring out the logisitics ourselves. It would have been nice to have more time in Lugano and Bellagio. However, it's already a long day ,and you get the idea of each area. I would recommend this tour.

    Everything went smoothly. It was a nice trip, and we had a great guide. The guide arranged for us to sit next to each other since the bus had filled up before we arrived.
