Hello- this was a wonderful day! Initially we were concerned that the hours would be long; however, they were filled with beautiful sights, history, food, and wine! We took a train from Milano to Vernazzo, where the guide delivered us to Lucca, a long time resident of the area. In Vernazzo enjoyed the beauty of the town and the protective fort- which afforded amazing views and interesting history! We took the ferry past Bellagio to Menaggio where Lucca and an excellent driver took the five of us to a very characteristic town/ restaurant for delicious and traditional food — we then drove to the neatest winery and went into the wine caves for history, tasting. We were delivered back to a train to Milan Centrale. This tour was fully and personally guided from Milan to Milan. It was a wonderful and beautiful day. Grazie Manuela for accompanying us from Milan, grazie to Lucca per tutto il giorno, e grazie a Igor (?) our very wonderful and safe driver
