A very relaxed and good experience walking around Bergamo. Beautiful view. Would have preferred to stay a little longer walking around. The lunch place at Lake Iseo was surprisingly good - particularly the local fish appetizer platter! Winery visit was very nice as well! And it turned out to be just a private tour for us as there was no other people in the group. 😄

Nice tour of Bergamo old town, Lunch at latke Iseo and wine tasting at Franciacorta. Rose and Claudia were super good and nice. They’re caring and professional. Highly recommended.

The tour guide was great. The experience was less than mediocre. Definitely not upscale. Disappointing

To describe this "tour" in one word...underwhelming. This "tour" is more like an expensive taxi with a few strangers. No direction, tips, history or explanation of the destinations or sights are given on arrival or during the many hours spent driving. When we arrived at each destination we were only told the location and the time at which we were to be picked up again. The only redeeming portion of the trip was the tour of the winery where the witty owner gave an entertaining overview of the history the region's wine and of his family's winery. For all that may look to book this "tour" this was the actual itinerary: 9:00: Pick-Up in Milan 9:30: Arrive in Bergamo 11:30: Pick up from Bergamo 12:15: Arrive in Clusane for Lunch 14:50: Pick Up in Clusane 15:30: Drop off at Winery 16:15: Pick up at Winery 17:30: Drop off in Milan You could probably do this "tour" for cheaper on your own and also set your own schedule.

I highly recommend this private tour. Francesca was kind and easy going -- a great driver and lovely to talk to. Bergamo is beyond gorgeous. I could've stayed there all day but then I would have missed the delicious lunch on Lake Iseo and the Franciacorta winery tour! This was one of the highlights of my time in Milan.

Great experience overall, Nicolo provide a really good tour, excellent local food restaurant, and franciacorta wine tasting was amazing, only issue, original tour was to monteisola, and everything was closed due to the season, so Nicolo took us to Iseo, and it was really good, operator shouldn’t offer tour to areas that are closed

Although this wasn't what we expected, we loved it. It was much more intimate and Elia was great. I really enjoyed talking about the local area with him. The Vineyard was great with some good history. Ask about the villa for an in depth tour and history. Lunch was better than expected. Very happy we booked this trip.

Driver was young inexperienced. No guide. Lunch was okay but had no lake view which was easily possible. All in all average day. With just a driver.

Vi stannade först till i Bergamo och gick runt i de mycket vackra gamla delarna av staden. Lunchen var underbar och vi fick besöka en trevlig vingård. Superbra!
