Wonderful tour/ fun - Our favorite part of the tour was the pleasant tour guide that took us around. She was courteous, considered us in decisions, was informative and overall made it fun. I loved the upper city and wished we had ore time, knew the area and spoke more Italian to truly enjoy it but overall, I would highly recommend this tour. Hopefully your experience will be as good as ours. (Not sure if you can make requests but our tour guide was Imer)

A medieval town with beautiful art and architecture - The interior of Bergamo Catheral blew me away! It is absolutely amazing!!! The magnificent sculptures and paintings just made me want to cry. You need to see for yourself! As for Cappella Colleoni, you need to know some history about it. Knowing more about Colleoni will make your visit of his chapel very special!

What a great day - This tour takes you to the town of Tivoli to visit Hadrian's Villa and Villa D'Este. Be advised that Tivoli is not a small town, so taking the train from Rome and then finding your way around Tivoli(which has an old section and a new section) can be problematic. We started off at Hadrian's Villa. I'm not much for ruins but our awesome guide Guiseppe made the place come alive. After a break for lunch (with recommendations from Guiseppe on where to eat and where to do a little shopping) it was on to Villa D'Este. This was my reason for booking this tour - to see the gardens and fountains, and I was not disappointed. I took a million photos of BOTH villas and can thoroughly recommend this tour.

Beautiful City - This was a wonderful side trip from Milan. The presentation by our guide, Sara, made me fall in love with Bergamo. The history, food, and architecture well worth the short trip. The tour was fantastic but I would recommend staying a night or two. Once there, I didn’t want to leave.

Bergamo was AMAZING! I would say... - <p>Bergamo was AMAZING! I would say out of all the tours I took in Milan and surrounding areas that Bergamo was my favorite. This town in fascinating because you can see Veronian, Roman, and other styles all in one central area. The side streets are lined with houses and buildings and it is just a very nice short tour. I would have loved to have gone back and toured on my own! The one downfall is there was not enough time to eat a meal there and have a local dish!</p>

Best day trip to Bergamo - Tour guide Sara was the best guide we've had in years. A Bergamo native, her passion and love of her city enhanced our day in a quaint and fascinating city. Don't miss this trip.

To know more details - Bergamo "Alta Città" is a must see in any case. By booking a guided tour, you get to more details. Unluckily the guides have their routine trip and in my case read the description of the sight seeing location from a sheet of paper. Anyhow this does not spoil the impression of the magnificent city.

Waste of time - Waste of time. This Zani Viaggi tour of Lake Como and Bellagio was a commercial enterprise designed to bring huge crowded buses to shop in tourist stores. The so-called tour contained minimal info. George Clooney’s house was pointed out across the lake and the older architectural sites such as the Cathedral in Como got about as much attention from our guides. 75 tourists packed in a bus. We ended up transferred to this tour because our tour to Brescia and Bergamo were cancelled because they apparently could not pack a full enough bus to make it worth their while.
