Magic Maggiore - Amazing views from the boat, both of the lake and islands on it. The scenery was as beautiful as it was stunning.

Wonderful! - We have been touring in November and the weather was superb! We had a perfect Italian lunch on Isola Bella. The sight of Matterhorn peak from the lake was breath-taking.

Italian Tour - When visiting scenic Lake Maggiore a good day tour is to take the sight seeing island tour of Isola Madre, Isola Superiore & Isola Bella...each island has special attractions & sights - plus good shopping & restaurants. Definitely worth taking a full day to plan for and experience.
