Start your photo tour day with a comfortable bus ride on this full-day Lake Como tour from Milan. During the journey, your guide will introduce the destinations and the day’s photo tour program. Before arriving in Como, your first photo stop will be at the neoclassical Villa Olmo, one of the lake’s most elegant villas, surrounded by magnificent Italian gardens.
Upon arrival in Como city center, you will be dropped off along the beautiful lakeside for more photo opportunities. Enjoy a guided walking tour of the old town, including the Duomo, the Broletto, and the Church of San Fedele. Afterward, enjoy free time for shopping or breakfast/lunch.
Continue by bus along the scenic Regina Road by the lake, known for its breathtaking views. Pass by and catch a glimpse of George Clooney’s famous Villa Oleandra before reaching the charming village of Argegno. Leave the bus and board the local boat for a scenic Lake Como cruise to Bellagio. Relax and soak up the sun, but don’t miss must-see sights such as Comacina Island, Villa Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, and the magical atmosphere of the lake surrounded by mountains.
Once in Bellagio, the “pearl of Lake Como,” where the lake splits into three branches, your guide will show you its panoramic viewpoints, lively narrow streets, artisan workshops, and charming hidden corners. Take in and capture beautiful photos. Then, enjoy some free time to stroll around or treat yourself to a delicious Italian ice cream.
After a short ferry ride, rejoin the bus and continue toward the Swiss border. Skirting Lake Lugano on one side and the Swiss Alps on the other, you will reach the elegant city of Lugano. After a guided tour of the city center, known for its exclusive boutiques and refined atmosphere, enjoy some free time for the final photos of this memorable day.
