Full description
On the borders of Piedmont, Lombardy, and Switzerland, spectacular Lake Maggiore is the second largest lake in Italy and known for its incredible beauty. Your tour will take you from Milan to picturesque Stresa, on the western shores of Lake Maggiore. Stresa is a lovely town with beautiful villas and gardens, some of which are open to the public. With a comfortable climate, Stresa offers stunning lake views, and you can also take the cable car up to Monte Mottarone for views of the Alps and the lakes. Next, hop on board for a cruise on Lake Maggiore, and admire the stunning scenery as the boat takes you out to the Borromean Islands. You'll visit Isola Bella, or "beautiful island," just offshore from Stresa. On this rich historical island you'll visit the Palazzo Borromeo, an exquisite palace dating back to the 17th century. You'll also be able to explore the beautiful palace gardens.

Muito bom transporte, excursão muito bem organizada, Salvatore o guia com muitos conhecimentos, valorizou toda a excursão com válidas informações sobre o Lago Maggiore, seus habitantes e donos dos palácios e villas e ainda muito sobre a História da Itália. gostámos muito. Para ser muito mais prático, as entradas para o Palácio e Jardins deviam estar incluídas na excursão.

No Alps. Disappointed.

We took this tour mainly because it offered a cable car with a view of the Alps at the top. While the lake and islands were beautiful, we were told that there wouldn't be an opportunity to ride the cable car. It was operating. We spent 55 minutes at Stresa with nothing to do but walk around and shop. That would have been almost time to ride to the top and see the Alps. We could see a couple of peaks from where we were. Don't offer what you're not going to deliver. Our guide was good. The bus ride was really long. It was an OK tour.
