    Itinerary

    Discover the magnificent villas of Lake Como with our Grand Tour of Lake Como.

    This tour is the best and more complete way to explore Lake Como: by watertaxi. Our private boat will be with you the whole day.

    Here follows our suggested itinerary but let us know your preference and we will customize it. Would you like to spend the day on the boat sunbathing and swimming? Would you prefer to skip Bellagio and go for a lesser-known village? Would you like to have a luxurious Riva speedboat for your special day? Just ask!

    Take a private cruise on an open-top Venetian taxi. Relax while cruising the western branch of the lake, admiring the spectacular mountains. The coast is dotted with elegant villas, each with a story to tell. Our friendly and professional English-speaking tour guide will be there to add all the details you will want to hear.

    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 upon reservation (Villa del Balbianello is closed on Mon and Wed).

    After visiting the villa and its gardens, cruise onwards to the restaurant we chose together for your lunch.

    Visit the town of Bellagio, called the “Pearl of the Lake“. Maybe enjoy some shopping or walk in the botanical gardens of Villa Melzi, adorned with classical statues and rare, exotic plants.

    Later in the afternoon, our private water taxi will bring you back to the departure location.
