A Magical Day Exploring Bellagio and Varenna on Lake Como

Published on Jan, 2025

This Bellagio and Varenna tour was a dream! The private boat ride on Lake Como was stunning, and both towns were charming and picturesque. The guide was friendly and informative, making the day enjoyable. I only wish there was a bit more flexibility to spend extra time in certain spots. Still, a fantastic experience—highly recommend for solo travelers!

Superb Scenery

Published on Oct, 2024

Awesome day with Michael. Stunning scenery. Great gelato and scrumptious lunch in Bellagio. Quality step back in time.

Wonderful tour on Lake Como visiting Bellagio and Varenna.

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a fabulous day travelling on ferries to visit Bellagio and Varenna. Learning about Lago di Como and its important inhabitants was made more interesting by our tremendous a nd knowledgeable guide Violetta. She kept us on schedule so we didn’t miss our connections, showed us the beauty if the towns and explained so much about the history that we came away understanding more about this beautiful place. We highly recommend this tour snd especially with Violetta!!

Fantastic tour of Varenna and Bellagio

Published on Oct, 2024

We really enjoyed Michael’s walking tour of Varenna which included St.George and waterfront area. His background information on the history provided a great perspective. My group of 6 universally said Michael was by far the best tour guide we ever had. His interest in each member of our group was very apparent. He is a keeper!

Amazing day on Lake Como!

Published on Oct, 2024

This was an excellent day tour! The tour operators were kind enough to pick us up at a stop along the way, so we didn't have to make the hour drive to Como. Elena was very knowledgeable and made an interesting tour for us. The lunch was delicious and we had a great table for nice views of Bellagio! I would definitely recommend this one - but plan for all day - it is truly a 7-8 hour event!
