Great tour of the islands! Very knowledgeable of the history of the island and all the plants in the botanical gardens. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a private tour guide.

Esperienza fantastica,consiglio di dedicare molto tempo all'isola bella e alla sua villa,per poi vedere l'isola madre altrettanto bella ma meno della bella... l'isola dei pescatori è carina ma non c'è niente di particolare da vedere sito molto simile ad altri posti vicini ai vari laghi, però fate un salto anche qua

Tuor privato alle isole Borromee in famiglia con l'intraprendente Macaela.
Siamo una famiglia di due adulti e due ragazzi di 9 e 13 anni e abbiamo deciso di affidarci a Micaela per il tour alle Isole, devo dire che sono rimasta stupita per tanta professionalità e cordialità.
È riuscita a coinvolgere i miei figli in tutte le spiegazioni e loro ne sono stati entusiasti e affascinati per il modo di raccontare e spiegare tutte le vicende della famiglia Borromeo e le bellezze dei giardini.
Consiglio sicuramente un tour insieme a Micaela, la quale aggiungerà valore alla vostra visita!!!!
