See Manarola and Monterosso from Milan by coach, boat, and train on a long but well-run Cinque Terre day trip.
“the scenery was of course stunning, but the guide seemed uninterested in the tour group & was pretty flat toned when talking. Wasn't very enthusiastic about the tour which was surprising as it is the tourists that support his revenue.”
Review of the Milan to Cinque Terre day trip, covering Manarola, Monterosso, the boat cruise, long travel time, guides, and value.

Review of a 13-hour Milan to Venice day tour with coach travel, Grand Canal boat rides, guided sights, free time, and gondola options.
“Our tour guide from TaoTravel was awesome! We went on a comfortable & clean bus ride for about 3 1/2 hours each way. The bus stops after about an hour for bathroom/coffee breaks. We had some free time after connecting with another tour guide in Venice. We enjoyed a lovely lunch at Ristorante San Silvestro. We sat outside. We asked for a gondola ride and our tour guide helped us to secure a space for after our free time but before the final meeting time. She collected the money & paid the owner of the gondola ride. The quiet gondola ride around the canal cost $125. Overall Venice was beautiful…”

Review of the 11-hour Dolomites tour from Lake Garda, with Pordoi Pass, Ortisei, cable-car tips, costs, stops, and honest advice.
“We left before daylight on this very long bus trip from Desenzano, del Garda. But, even before we boarded the bus we enjoyed gorgeous pre-sunrise views. The gentleman running the tour was very sweet natured, extremely informative regarding the history of all the areas we passed, and perhaps a bit verbose. We made a morning stop in a great little cafe with reasonably priced cappuccino and croissants. So delicious I went back for seconds on both. It’s a long trip, very long — some of the towns we stopped in were touristy end of little interest to me. But as we drew closer to the mountain peaks, the views became…”
Review of the full-day Venice trip from Lake Garda, with coach travel, private boat transfer, guided sights, free time, and optional gondola ride.
“We booked this trip from Lake Garda to Venice largely for the hassle-free transport to Venice and in that respect it was satisfactory. Although we booked the English language tour we ended up on the English and German languages tour, but that was also tolerable. The tour was advertised as having an optional extra of a gondola ride... something we didn't intend doing. On the day the tour guide also tried to upsell a private boat trip in Venice; apparently something different to the private boat trip referenced as included in the trip details and available as a cash-only extra option, but presented by the tour guide as "the most…”

“Bellagio was very lovely and the risotto ossobuco at Seta was as good as Giovanni said. Much too long a wait for the ferry at Como n it cut short the time we had. Varenna was way too rushed. If not for a entertaining guide, I’d have given this a below average rating”
