Loved every part of this tour! Thanks to our guide, Luca, we felt like real VIP guests. The lake was beautiful, and we loved traveling through the alpine valley. Tasted some excellent wines and local cheeses. Also, had a great lunch! I tried Pizzoccheri - recommended! Such a relaxing experience. We took it easy and really had a super day!
This private tour was exactly what we needed! We spent two days in Milan and decided to take a day trip out of the city. Good idea. We traveled with my elderly parents, and they really enjoyed the whole experience. Our guide was super friendly. We got lucky with the weather, and it made the views even more spectacular. Highly recommend this tour if you want something special - totally worth it!
