4-Day Italian Lakes Tour from Milan

This is an excellent tour to take to see 5 beautiful Italian Lakes and the historic towns in the region in just 4 days. I was in a small group of seven and was pleased to have upgraded to ‘Luxury’ for the better hotels. My only criticism was the ambivalence of the driver/guide. His driving was steady and we kept to schedule but he made no effort to introduce himself, he showed no interest in us as his clients, gave us no information about our daily itinerary or any explanation about the places we visited.. In contrast, we had a wonderful local guide in Verona.

This tour greatly exceeded our expectations! We visited four or five beautiful lakes and their charming coastal towns, complete with numerous boat rides. The logistics were well-coordinated. For instance, when our small group of 9 tourists arrived at the dock, our boat captain was already there and greeted us warmly. We had plenty of time to enjoy recommended restaurants (all delicious), visit historical sites complete with mini-tours, shop, and walk around each town we visited. The lakes are absolutely spectacular with turquoise clear water. Luigi was our tour guide for this bilingual (Spanish and English) tour. He was terrific and we toasted him at a Prosecco gathering one of the days. We were driven from Milan and from lake to lake in a comfortable private coach. At the end we made a surprise visit to Verona! A city with a 30 AD built Roman amphitheater intact and still used for performances. Our hotel there was well-situated, only a five minute walk from the amphitheater. I only wish we had gotten last minute tickets for that night’s performance. A wonderful tour in every respect!! Five stars is not enough - 10 would be more appropriate.

Lakes views were not good because there were lot of rains. Most of our trips are cloudy. We received program written in English at the end of the trip. The first and second day we did not know what we will see and where we will go..? Top bad..
