5.00We loved the tour with Michaela! She did such an incredible job taking us around the 3 islands! It also was a great time saver to have our own boat pick us up and take us to the islands. It was really a beautiful day and she helped explain the history and local culture. I would highly recommend it!
Awesome guide an incredible tour

5.00We had an amazing day for this trip. We first headed to a Isola Pescatori which was gorgeous and had amazing architecture, small shops, and great food. Then we went to Isola Bella which had an amazing palace with Micaela our tour guid, she pointed out specific architectural details and beautiful art. Last was Isola Madre with plants from all around the world and various bird inhabitants of the island. It was an amazing day and trip!
An excellent experience. Charming!

5.00A top tour of the villas and villages of the southern part of Lake Maggiore. Guide Micaela was outstanding. Her knowledge of the villas and their history was outstanding as was her information about the history of the villages. Beautiful boat, cruise and experience.
A pleasure to offer without hesitation!

5.00Perfect for a family discovery (children from 14/11/6/3). Micaela lived up to our expectations. She was able to adapt to our wishes. We enjoyed discovering the islands and Lake Verbano with him... one delicious afternoon. And all under a radiant sun, a magnificent light highlighting the shimmering colors of autumn... indulge yourself!
Everything exceeded our expectations

Private Guided Tour to Santa Caterina Del Sasso & Isola Bella by Micaela Lucini - Excellent
Hing2013,Nov 7, 2019
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00On our recent trip to Stresa in Lake Maggiore, our group of 8 people arranged a private tour to Santa Caterina Del Sasso and Isola Bell, guided by Micaela Lucini. This 4+ hour tour included our private boat across the lake to Santa Caterina. Although it was a heavily rainy day on the day of our visit, we enjoyed this tour very much. Micaela took us to the most important sites, explained to us the history or interesting stories on why the monastery was built. She also took us to Isola Bella and it’s beautiful garden, also explaining in detail about the site. From the first email correspondence with Micaela, she has shown herself to be a very proficient and courteous person. She responded to my various emails almost immediately. We will have no hesitation in recommending her or asking her to be our guide if we are in the area again. We were lucky to have her show us around.
To do absolutely!
