While on a trip to Tuscany we decided to forgo our last 2 days there and head north to Lake Como. Best decision ever! Upon arriving, we checked hotel sites and found an apartment with a view of the lake, only steps from the restaurant in Varenna. The restaurants and shops are amazing, everywhere you look is a postcard. Just go!

You cannot leave Lake Como without having visited its “pearl” and its “diamond”: Bellagio and Varenna. Bellagio is a one-of-a-kind location, also thanks to its position: from there, one can embrace the horizon almost completely! After visiting it, you will do a fantastic boat tour on the centre of the lake, where the views will leave you breathless. You will reach Varenna, a suggestive fishing hamlet to visit slow, walking romantically along the lakeside. Our driver will takes you to the Castle of Vezio, situated on top of the hill behind the village. This Castle will take you back in time with its unique atmosphere. Cross the old drawbridge and be ready for a medieval adventure! You may also climb up the tower to enjoy a 360-degrees view, one of the best panoramas of Lake Como. In the middle of the beautiful olive garden of the Castle or on the beautiful terrace overlooking the lake, you will have a rich aperitif with local products.

Inclusions: Private boat tour of 1 hour in the centre of the lake, Visit of the Castle of Vezio, Light lunch or dinner with local products at Vezio Castle, English/italian Tour Leader (he isn't a tour guide!), Medical and baggage insurance, Private transportation

The scenery was breath taking and the guide was knowledgeable. I am a novice and this was above my fitness level. However, with the guidance provided, I did finish the return up hill ride. Part way back, my legs gave out from fatigue and when I stopped to walk up hill, I fell over. I was not injured except for some scratches.

We did the tour at Lake Como first and thoroughly enjoyed tasting different foods as we toured the back streets and learned about the history. Magdelena, our Guide, was great and the restaurant at the end was fantastic. The next day we did a tour in Bellagio and our Guide Francisca was equally as good. We were running late due to a problem with the ferry boat and the tour operator was great about accommodating us being behind schedule, which we really appreciated. On the negative side, the Bellagio tour was advertised as having a Michelin Star restaurant at the end and to be honest the food was underwhelming. We were also told that they don't actually have a Michelin Star, they've just applied for one, and the advertising wasn't clear to us. I would highly recommend both tours, although I would also recommend clarifying the advertising on the Bellagio tour.

10. Best of Lake Como - Cruise on the lake

Lungo Lario Trento, 22100 Como CO, Italy Lake Como Tourism & Rigamonti Travel Company

A panoramic tour that will let you discover the natural and scenic beauties of our lake, on board the historical ferry. A journey of 2 hours and a half, where you will admire the magnificent views and the most characteristic villages of Lake Como. Prepare your camera and enjoy the view! At the beginning and at the end of the cruise, you will visit the beautiful city of Como and the characteristic village of Varenna. Como is the largest and most important city on the lake, fascinating and rich in history, art, monuments and enchanting corners.

In Como we suggest you to visit the beautiful cathedral and walk along the streets of the historic center or along the lake. In Varenna take a walk on the beautiful “walk of lovers” and explore its narrow streets and hidden corners.
