“excursion was on 9/22/2025, it was storming all night, there was a rock slide blocking roads to Bellagio and Como city was flooded and underwater. Despite knowing this the tour company proceeded with the tour knowing it was impossible to do the complete tour. it should of been canceled and refunded but they decided to go to just Lugano, on the way there the bus broke down and we waited at a truck stop for over an hour for a another bus. Bad day to go to Como! Tour company was not upfront about the the problems so I would not recommend this tour company.”
