Bellagio is a small jewel located on the promontory that separates the two southern branches of Lake Como, those culminating in the cities of Como and Lecco. It is one of the most glamorous and romantic destinations in Lombardy. In fact, the well-known “Pearl of Lake Como” is home to a colorful historic center, beautiful gardens, charming neighborhoods and much more.
Tremezzina is one of the largest and most fascinating towns on the western branch of Lake Como. Rich in history, art and culture, it also offers some of the most evocative sceneries of the Lake Centre: the Comacina Island, the only island on Lake Como, the wooded promontory of Dosso del Lavedo with the marvellous villa of Balbianello, the medieval corner of Ossuccio, Sala Comacina and Lenno.
Visit on request. Villa del Balbianello is located on a wooded promontory, offering an enchanted view of Lake Como. This elegant, romantic 18th century mansion and its magnificent garden have hosted writers, scholars and travelers, including Count Guido Monzino, the last owner of the Villa. Closed on Monday and Wednesday.
We pass through the mountain road to enjoy beautiful views on the Lake Como and the Alps. On request we can stop at Madonna del Ghisallo Sanctuary and Cycling Museum, located in Magreglio in the province of Como, on a hill which is very popular among bikers and has been home of many famous competitions.
On request you can enjoy a short walk along the Greenway of Lake Como, a short hyke with stunning views on the lake, the Isola Comacina and the mountain.

Giovanni was an amazing guide. He picked us up promptly at 9 am at our hotel and drove us to Lake Como. He taught us tons about the history of the area as we went. We had a great day exploring Lake Como.
We had a super day at lake Como & Bellagio,with lots of wonderful explanations,Giovanni was very nice & very professional, I would highly recommend him😊🥰
We did the classic Lake Como tour with Giovanni. The experience was very good. We traveled in a comfortable Van and Giovanni’s explanations made us know data unknown to us. We had a great day despite the rain. We recommend Giovanni's services for his professionalism and kindness.
¡Muchas gracias chicas!
Giovanni was an excellent tour guide. He customized the experience based on our interests, gave us choices, and he was extremely courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable about history, regional information, culture, etc. I highly recommend booking a private tour with him.
My wife and I spent the first 2 days of our 2 week trip touring Lake Como & Bellagio, then riding through the Alps on the Bernina train to St Moritz, both days with Giovanni as our guide. Although it was an overcast day for the train ride, Giovanni found a way to make it memorable by taking photos throughout the day and finding a delicious sandwich and bottle of wine for the train ride. He definitely set the bar high for all others on the rest of our trip.
Giovanni is personable and knowledgeable about the area ( obviously ) but he caters the day to you and your interests and brings a little history with the magic.
Giovanni was an excellent driver and guide. His knowledge of the Lake Como area was outstanding. He was extremely personable and his knowledge of the area allowed him to make changes to the tour to avoid crowds and maximize our time. I would definitely recommend.
We are four English-speaking seniors and had a fantastic day touring Lake Como with Giovanni. He was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. His English is excellent, and he made everything smooth and enjoyable. We traveled in comfort, saw stunning views, and appreciated how flexible and engaging he was throughout the day. Giovanni knows the area inside and out—he was even able to fast track us when needed, which made a big difference. Our only regret is not booking more than one day with him. He’s top notch, and we highly recommend his tour to anyone visiting the area.
Giovanni makes the tour to be so educational, interesting and pleasant. He takes time to impart the history of the places he brought us to. He is very professional and more importantly, he takes pride in what he does.
We spent two wonderful days touring with Giovanni, one on Lake Lugano and the second Lake Como. He is very knowledgeable and customized the tour around what you want to do. I highly recommend him.
