The experience was very good. Our tour guide Monica was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. I rated this tour a 4 instead of 5 because as per the itenarary included the entry to the Palace Boromeo grounds however we were informed by the tour guide this was not included. It was disappointing considering this was one of the tour highlights.

The beautiful landscape surrounding the lake. The mansion tour was beautiful. And being able to visit 2 different islands was a treat.

We enjoyed the tour despite it raining all day. Unfortunately we didn’t get to spend time in Stresa because of the heavy rain. We opted for a pickup from the hotel but had to find our way back to the hotel in the pouring rain. It would have been better if Zani Viaggi provided return hotel transport since the tour was cut short.

A beautiful glimpse into the Italian countryside. Only 90 minutes from Milan it’s like entering a different universe. So much natural beauty on all the islands and shore. Also the perfect time for a day trip, not too long or short

Very good tour guide. Easy travel day. Good timing spent at each location. Well done and would book with Zani again

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.

Isola Bella Palace and surrounding gardens. Salvatore was terrific. Very knowledgeable about the history and geography. Thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him:

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.
