The Bellissima Northern Italy tour is going to be one of our most memorable trips with Tauck. Milan is a big city with a big city atmosphere. It was OK. We can say we have been there and done that but it does not compare with the rest of the trip. Lake Como and Bellagio were much more to our liking. Lake Como has a lot of open space and beautiful scenery. The boat ride on the lake was spectacular. Bellagio is a beautiful small town on Lake Como which we enjoyed much more than Milan. Lake Maggore and Isola Bella were probably the highlights of the trip for us. The Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees in Stresa on Lake Maggore is probably the nicest hotel we have ever stayed. We had a suite that was beautifully appointed with art and fine furniture. The whole area on Lake Maggore was magnificent. Verona, Mantua, Bologna and Venice were very nice. The weather could not have been better. Temperatures were in the low to mid eighties and the only rain was a drizzle while we were on the coach on our way to one of the towns. The visit to a winery and a tour of the facility of a balsamic vinegar producer were the Tauck touches that added interest to the tour. The food...we think it is next to impossible to get a bad meal in Italy. We will be working on trying to shed the extra pounds we managed to gain. Overall it was another Tauck winner.
