Lake Iseo/Franciacorta - Maria Christina, the tour guide, was very kind and knowledgeable. She brought us to amazing areas around the Milan country side that we wouldn’t know existed without her.

meraviglioso - Maria and Philippo were very warm and informative. Philippo drove carefully. Maria was a delightful guide and explained the history of the region. You'll have a wonderful day with them. They went the extra mile and assisted with a personal request. I am very, very happy with their kindness.

Hidden Gem - This trip was a 10/10 and should not be missed. Lake Isoe is a hidden gem with less crowds and just as much beauty. We ate at a local restaurant and were lucky enough to sit by the water. The winery was first class and state of the art with amazing wine and exceptional hospitality. I highly recommend it.

Hidden Gem - This excursion was 10/10 I can’t say enough about it. The lake is a hidden gem and we had lunch at a great local place. The wine tasting was exquisite and our host was exceptional. Do not miss out!

A pleasant time in the countryside - Delightful, low-pressure tour around the Lake Iseo and Franciacorta areas. Plenty of time to see things we wanted to see and nab bites along the way. Maria Christina as our guide was pleasant and not at all like some of the loud-rush-"andiamo!" style of guides we've had elsewhere. She seemed genuinely interested in our having a good time. Elicio our driver deftly maneuvered the mini-bus through winding roads and highways and city centers alike. The itinerary pretty much aligned with what was described. It reads like there are two winery stops, but it's actually a single one (we visited Santus, a Franciacorta winery). After a week-plus of racing around, this tour hit the spot.

TAO Travel Turned Our Tour into an Unforgettable Birthday Memory! - Yesterday we took the Lake Iseo & Franciacorta tour from Milan with TAO Travel, and what was supposed to be a small group tour unexpectedly became a private experience just for me and my husband. Since the private version of this tour normally costs much more, we initially thought that maybe parts of the itinerary would be shortened — but absolutely not. TAO Travel delivered everything promised and so much more. Our tour guide Mara and our driver Filippo, were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive from the very beginning. Mara accompanied us throughout the entire experience: the ferries, the wine tasting, the walks around Lake Iseo, and she went above and beyond in every possible way. Not only was she an amazing guide, but she also became the sweetest “private photographer” during my birthday trip, capturing some of our most beautiful memories throughout the day. One of the most touching moments was when she recorded a short video of me blowing out my birthday candle while singing “Happy Birthday” to me in Italian. It was such a thoughtful and unforgettable gesture. Even during our scheduled free time, she made everything easy and stress-free by sending us her live location through WhatsApp so we could always find her without any problems. This was truly one of the most special tours we have ever taken. Thank you, Mara, Filippo, and TAO Travel for your warmth, professionalism, generosity, and for making my birthday in Italy so memorable. We couldn’t recommend this company more highly!

A lovely day at Iseo - A very fun day, the guise was pleasant and friendly, and kept us well informed. We got to see things that I was unaware that I wanted to see. Recommend!
