Private Guided Boat Tour of Lake Maggiore's Borromeo Islands
Borromean islands from the boat
4hr boat tour on Lake Maggiore with our guide Micaela was amazing. We were 3 couples from USA in our 60’s on our first trip to the lake region of Italy. She was informative, insightful, always with a smile, a joy to be around. Also she is living and from this region but lived and worked in UK for awhile, needless to say her English was excellent! This is the best way to see the lake, Stresa, and the islands.
