    Itinerary

    During this full-day private tour, you will meet your tour guide in Como and take a minivan transfer to Tremezzo.
    Here you will take a guided tour to Villa Carlotta and its amazing art collection including beautiful sculptures by Canova, followed by a walk in the colorful and astounding botanical gardens of the villa.

    You will then take a 1-hour cruise on a private open-top Venetian water taxi, touring the coast from Tremezzo down to Lenno, to admire Villa del Balbianello from the water and circumnavigate Island Comacina.

    Then we will slowly cruise along the opposite coast to reach the botanical gardens of Villa Melzi and finally Bellagio.

    Here your guide will give you a discovery tour of the old town and will give you some free time for lunch, not before suggesting the best restaurants and cafes in the area.

    Mid-afternoon you will board our open-top water taxi to take an amazing cruise down the western branch of the lake to reach Como. The cruise will give you the chance to relax admiring the spectacular mountains and the stunning villas, once the homes of aristocrats, now the playgrounds for the jet set. Your guide shall be there to enhance the experience with the description of the villas and of the villages you shall encounter.

    End of tour in Como at about 5 pm.
