Villas & Gardens - Como & Lugano Traveller Reviews

I enjoyed the beautiful lakes of Iseo and Garda, the lovely old cities of Brescia and Bergamo and wonderful Italian art. An excellent holiday.

They create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, are very well informed and willing to go that extra mile for your comfort.

This was one of the best short trips to Italy than I have ever had. Full of delightful surprises and discoveries.

Ciceroni, and in particular Tom Duncan, are the reason for going on this particular trip and on this occasion they were in particularly good form.

Staying in a very attractive small lakeside hotel with great charm, we ventured forth in our own small bus from Solenzo to study the art, architecture and history of Bergamot, Brescia while also enjoying a visit to the leading wine producer in the area, and some beautiful private gardens. This was all sustained with delicious food and wine. The Italian lakes are one of Italy's loveliest areas.

The reason there are so many repeat travellers with Ciceroni is because all the arrangements are always meticulously planned and executed. Nothing is too much trouble to ensure the comfort and well-being of their clients. The groups are of a size that enables people to engage with each other and to share their common interest in what they are doing or seeing. The support from Ciceroni's office is of an unfailingly high standard delivered with cheerful charm and care. Having examined tour operators offering similar high quality trips I find that Ciceroni offers extremely good value calculated per dime for such quality.

Cicerone never fails to take care of every detail and makes certain that those who are travelling alone are included in everything. Very interesting and informative talks about every place we visited. All the Group meals were well planned and of a very high standard. One is invariably delighted.

have praised Cicerone to the hilt in the above paragraph. Always excellent.
