We were so impressed from the beginning to the end of our tour. I don’t usually book things online, especially in a foreign country, not being very proficient in using my phone to do things. I found the whole experience very professional from where to meet to taking us back to the same spot. Micaela was was so knowledgeable and went at our pace and made us feel very comfortable. The 3 hours went by so quickly and she kept us even a little longer since she wanted to make sure we didn’t miss anything. I have been in this area several times before but not to Lago Maggiore and I must say that was the best Lake and the most interesting things to see.

My husband and I really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable and very flexible. It was great learning about the history of the islands. Without the context we would not have had an appreciation for the Borromeo Islands. Also having a boat at our disposal made it easier to come and go as we pleased. I would highly recommend this tour.

Micaela was an AMAZING guide! We were in Stresa for our honeymoon, and Micaela picked us right up from our hotel. The private boat alone makes this tour worth it and micaela makes sure you are never stuck in a line. The history she told about each of the islands was fascinating. Highly HIGHLY recommend
