About this experience
You will visit not only the capital Como, but also the unfairly forgotten towns of the 'left arm': Cernobbio and Torno. They will amaze you with their immediacy, tranquility, luxurious villas, gardens, and churches. And I will share the secrets of local life and make sure our journey is comfortable, interesting, and easy!
What to Expect
Enchanting Como
We will meet in Milan at the famous railway station and head to the city of Como, which boasts two millennia of rich history. Strolling through its cozy center and lakeside, you will hear about the revered saints and famous natives. And if you're lucky, you might stumble upon one of the impressive medieval festivals that the locals love to organize.
Ferry ride and charming towns
To fully enjoy the beauty of the lake, we will take a leisurely boat ride. I will tell you about the beautiful villas and buildings we will pass by, and about the vibrant aristocratic life within their walls. We will make stops in the most interesting and picturesque towns. In Cernobbio, you will be transported back to the Grand Tour era, visit a picturesque garden, admire a Liberty-style palace, and, if you wish, explore a 16th-century palace. And in the small but colorful village of Torno, you will have a cup of coffee by the shore and observe local life.
