Overview

⏰ Meeting time: 7:45 AM – please be on time

The usual Bellagio bus tours packed with crowds and selfie sticks? No, thanks!

This small-group tour from Milan goes deeper — far beyond the standard stops — to reveal Lake Como’s hidden side.

Travel comfortably by first-class train and boat cruise (no buses, no traffic!) to iconic Bellagio, the authentic lakeside town of Lecco, and the dramatic Bellano Gorge, where a walkway hangs above a roaring canyon waterfall. Most tourists don’t even know it exists.

What makes this tour different?

✅ No big crowds — just a real small group (max 15)
✅ Visit 3 unique towns, not just the usual 2
✅ Explore Orrido di Bellano, a secret geological wonder
✅ Enjoy a peaceful cruise on the most scenic part of Lake Como
✅ Led by a friendly English-speaking local expert who handles everything

This isn’t a rushed tourist checklist — it’s a slow, soulful journey through the real Lake Como.

️ Note: Starting September 15, we’ll visit Varenna instead of Lecco
