About this experience
Lake Como is one of the top italian destination and you cannot miss it: with this PRIVATE tour by car from Milan you will enjoy this amazing destination: the centre of Como is an amazing merge of Classicism and Rationalism; in front of it, the beautiful lake Lario meets the surrounding Alps, in a breathtaking encounter.
It is all a matter of balance, harmony, and this private tour will help you to feel it deeply.
After a pleasant walk in Como, reaching the majestic Baroque Cathedral as well as some masterpieces of Italian architecture of the 1920s, you will head to Cernobbio - with its exclusive Grand Hotel - and pass by Isola Comacina. Meanwhile, some outstanding mansions will be visible, facing the lake. A short transfer by ferryboat will lead you to Bellagio, the pearl of Lario, standing at the very heart of Lario, where the three branches meet one another. A few miles around, a saucerful of pure beauty, before going back to Milan along a panoramic route.
