Het eiland was leuk maar het was geen tour. Het was gewoon de heen- en terugreis naar het eiland. vond 70 euro p.p. zwaar overdreven. Verder moest je een kwartier van tevoren aanwezig zijn. We hebben daarna nog zeker 20 minuten in de volle zon staan wachten. Parasols stonden bij hetzelfde Lido maar dat was blijkbaar teveel van het goede. Nee, zeker niet voor herhaling vatbaar.

La verdad me ha parecido super caro para lo que es la actividad . Lo cogimos porque se suponía que había un guía y sorpresa … no había guía . También prometían audio guía en español , y .. sorpresa tampco había. La entrada a los jardines de vip tampoc tiene nada , es una entrada normal . Vamos q no lo recomendaría para nada .☹️

Borzalmas ! Indulás előtt egy órával érkezve nem volt parkoló hely így parkolót keresve lekéstük az indulást !

Missed our boat by 10 mins but still worked out thanks to staff. Young man at the check in was very nice. Ended up getting a private boat tour for just a bit more gave us that great personal touch and info about the lake. Thanks Stefano. They are not exaggerating that the parking is ridiculous. Had to park 1 mile away from boat site. Must get there about two hours before tour time just to get a lay of the land and not rush. Also the drive to bellagio is not for the faint of heart. Narrow mountain roads next to a lake. Didn’t help that my rental was a grand new Mercedes suv. But I loved the fact that there were no dents or scratches from the tight parking. Italians have a great appreciation for nice cars. City of bellagio has a good shopping and of course excellent food and gelato.

La Villa Balbianello vaut le détour, si vous n’avez pas réservé en avance la villa c’est un bon compromis pour arriver depuis la mer. Le bateau est comme un mini ferry qui vous emmène d’un point A à B. Le plus de l’activité est l’accès prioritaire à la villa. Je recommande l’horaire de 10h50, pour éviter trop de foule.
