An amazing full-day tour including a long private cruise onboard an open-top Venetian water taxi. Explore the western branch of Lake Como and admire the spectacular mountains and the stunning villas, once the homes of aristocrats, now the playgrounds for the jet set.
Discover the magnificent villas of Lake Como with our Grand Tour of Lake Como.
Take a private cruise in an open-top Venetian taxi. Relax while cruising the Western branch of the lake, admiring the spectacular mountains and the stunning villas. Disembark at Villa del Balbianello for a guided visit, a real gem not to be missed. As an alternative, you may visit Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo, with its stunning gardens. The choice shall need to be made at least one day in advance. Villa Carlotta will always be the choice on Mon and Wed.
After visiting the villa and its gardens, cruise onwards to Bellagio called the “Pearl of the Lake.” Here you shall stop for lunch at a restaurant of your choice (we shall be glad to suggest a restaurant and make reservations).
After lunch, visit the town of Bellagio and the gardens of Villa Melzi, adorned with classical statues and rare, exotic plants. In May, the azaleas are justly celebrated. After some time in Bellagio and perhaps some shopping, your private water taxi will pick you up at 17.00 to bring you back to the departure location.
A friendly and professional English-speaking tour guide shall accompany you the whole day, giving you all the information you need and, why not, useful suggestions.
