Coach comfortable, clean and good a/c, easy to find, guide very friendly, helpful, and informative, easy to talk to. Stressa very pretty town, narrow streets and lots of shops and cafes, boat trip to islands was fine, Lake Maggiore is beautiful and the backdrop of the Alps is stunning I would love to go back in winter, I imagine it would be magnificent. Isola Bella - the house was too tacky, pretentious and dull for me, the views from the windows were far more enticing, I found the tour too long, only so many pictures and flaking paint I can take, the gardens more than make up for the disappointing house, absolutely marvellous, much better than any pictures I saw the only downside was I didn't have time to do it justice, if I go again I shall miss out the house and head straight for the gardens. Piscatori island was nice, full of restaurants and pleasant, food was ok, it was lovely to sit by the water and have a glass or two of wine. the trip ends with some free time in Stressa, I would have preferred to have missed out Piscatori and spent more time in Stressa, trip back to Milan uneventful . I would recommend the trip and to book through tickitaly, I had a great day out . So did my husband and son age 11.

Excellent guide as a minor minus perhaps a busier day seeing all 3 islands would've been better
