“Antonella was great. Listen to her for all food recs! She was very knowledgeable and kept us all on time. She took us to all the best picture places. Everything ran smoothly. Like most excursions there’s never enough time. I’m always for a longer trip to extent the time in the city. I think the split was 30 min in como, 2 hour in Bellagio, and 30 min in Varenna? The 2 hour boat ride would prob be amazing in summer time but it was cold when I went. To be fair the sights were still pretty and I took a Power Nap. There’s no bus to leave your stuff…”
