We were left alone did not receive the tickets for the ferry boat until the last minute, tour is really physically demanding, the villas and the views are amazing, it would be better with private boat I don’t really recommend that company

I did not receive the confirmation email nor did I receive the ferry tickets and instructions. Nobody wait for me at the meeting point so I missed my trip.

The villa was beautiful but was crowded with influencers taking photos and the gardens weren’t that spectacular for the price. The cost of the garden entry ticket and two ferries if bought on your own were half the price. The villa website said they were sold out, hence me buying through this third party, but it appeared people were showing up and securing tickets without a reservation. I liked the Villa Carlotta in a neighboring town better.
