Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to allow a smooth departure. The drive north to Como takes approximately one hour under normal traffic conditions, arriving in time for the 11:15 AM boat departure.

Depart from Como and enjoy a panoramic cruise aboard a private boat reserved exclusively for your group. Glide along the western shore of Lake Como, admiring picturesque villages, elegant villas, and mountain scenery while your guide shares stories about the lake’s history and culture.

Visit the world-famous Villa del Balbianello gardens with your guide, exploring elegant terraces, sculptures, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking Lake Como. Hear stories of the villa’s explorers, unique history, and cinematic appearances. Please note: the interior rooms are not included in this visit due to time limitations.

Enjoy free time for lunch (at own expense). Your guide will recommend authentic lakeside restaurants to taste regional dishes such as risotto al pesce persico or fresh lake fish. Stroll along the charming promenade or relax by the water before continuing the day.

Continue your journey across the central lake area toward Bellagio. Depending on conditions, this transfer may be by private boat or scheduled ferry. Admire the lake’s mid-section, where the two branches meet around Bellagio.

Arrive in Bellagio and visit the Villa Melzi gardens, then continue with a pleasant walking tour through the town’s charming alleys, boutique shops, and scenic lakeside corners. Your guide will share stories about Bellagio’s noble past, architecture, and local traditions. You’ll also have some free time to explore, shop, or relax before heading back toward Como. Please note: interior access to the villa is not included (private residence opened only for events).

Relax on the return journey to Como by private boat. Enjoy the calm atmosphere of the late afternoon on the lake as your guide offers final insights.

At the end of the day, your driver will be waiting in Como for the return transfer to Milan, dropping you back at Piazza della Repubblica. Journey time is approximately one hour under normal traffic conditions.
