We enjoyed the geography and history lesson from Salvatore. The tour thru’ the Barromeo residence was truly amazing. Our guides were informed, professional and passionate. We don’t generally commit to tours but we are thrilled we booked this one ! It was a memorable day in every respect and Stresa is certainly a destination not to be missed.

I have been to Lake Como a few times on different trips to Milan, but was looking for something different to do with friends from work on the free Sunday we had. This trip did not disappoint and was well organized and exceeded everyone’s expectations.
