Hop on a modern ferry from Stresa to Isola Madre, Isola dei Pescatori, and Isola Bella. Flexible stops and GPS commentary.

“The team were very friendly and helpful, ensuring a smooth day out getting to and from the islands. They are challenged by the crowds, which on our day were a lot. It would be helpful if they could put in better queuing controls. Our final leg from Isola Bella back to Stresa was quite chaotic with the crowds and a medical incident as someone on board was affected by heatstroke. The team could do themselves a favour by improving crowd control. Given what we now know, I’d opt for the larger government ferries who do have crowd control and larger vessels.”

Skip-the-line access to Santa Maria Maggiore Upper Areas, with medieval mosaics, the Hall of the Popes, Bernini Staircase, and Liberian Museum.

“Att köpa biljett för det är värt, men vid lågsäsong det är absolut inte värt att köpa hoppa över kön för att det har de inte 2 köer. Det är bara en för alla, för oss det gick ändå snabbt att komma in, det tog kanske 10 min max. Allt gick smidigt utan krångel, glöm inte växla vouchern till biljett vid kiosken precis vid ingången till kyrkan efter man har gått igenom ”säkerhetskontrollen” och gått upp trappor. Men som sagt betala inte extra för hoppa över kö biljett. Bättre att spara de pengarna för mat och dryck.”
