What You'll Experience
Bellagio
Step into the picture-perfect world of Bellagio — the iconic village often featured in films and travel publications. Stroll through elegant lanes lined with boutique shops and colorful facades that reflect the charm of traditional Italian lakeside life.
Take in sweeping panoramic views of Lake Como and enjoy a relaxing lunch at one of the inviting lakeside restaurants. The itinerary also includes free time, allowing for independent exploration — whether that entails savoring a gelato, shopping for local goods, or simply absorbing the atmosphere at your own pace.
Bellano Gorge (Hidden Gem)
This is where you’ll experience the real Lake Como — far from the tourist crowds. Discover a dramatic gorge with suspended walkways carved into the cliffs, where waterfalls crash below and the air feels cool and fresh.
It’s a favorite hidden spot among locals, rarely seen by mass-tour groups. After the gorge, enjoy a peaceful stroll through the quiet lakeside town of Bellano, where time seems to slow down and the views are pure magic.
Scenic Lake Views from the Boat
We take the scenic route — literally. Cruise across the most beautiful branch of Lake Como on a panoramic public boat, soaking in cinematic views from the water.
Along the way, you’ll pass charming villages, historic villas, and picture-perfect landscapes — with insider stories that bring every scene to life.
Lecco or Varenna (Depending on the Season)
Until September 15, 2025, we visit Lecco, a tranquil lakeside town that’s still wonderfully undiscovered. It's full of authentic Italian charm — no crowds, no chaos, just peaceful beauty and real local life.
Starting September 16, 2025, we switch to Varenna — Lake Como’s second most famous village. Romantic, colorful, and built for wandering, Varenna is everything you imagine when you dream of Italy. Think cobblestone lanes, stunning lakefront views, and perfect photo ops around every corner.

"I cannot recommend Stefano’s Alba and Barolo wine tour highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely incredible. Stefano’s deep knowledge of Barolo, the region’s history, and the winemaking process brought the entire journey to life in such a genuine and passionate way. The tour was engaging, fun, and personal. The winery he selected was outstanding – intimate, authentic, and had its own unique story. I never felt rushed, and Stefano made sure we had time to truly enjoy eve"
"Amazing trip with Oleg. I reached out to them directly after finding their number online as they were fully booked on Expedia. (literally the night before) and he was able to accommodate. Highly recommended and got to experience Lake Como, Torno, and Lake Lugano (Switzerland). Will book tours with this group again."
"We had an absolutely delightful time on our tour of Lake Como and into Switzerland up to Lugano. It was especially nice to not be in a huge group, we had plenty of time throughout our tour to enjoy the areas we toured. We also loved that we got to see things that were not overly touristy. The tour company was very easy to coordinate with...which leads to the best part of the tour, our guide. Giulia was amazing!!! She was so friendly, accommodating, and eager to make sure that we all felt special"
"We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Monica showed our small group so my local places we really got to enjoy each location in a casual and relaxed manner. Not touristy at all, and we weren’t rushed through designated stops like so many other tours. I highly recommend Abroads Tours and know we will be booking with them again."
