Full description

Marvel at the small village of Cadenabbia, enjoy a cruise from Bellagio and soak in the panoramic views of Lake Como on a full-day tour. Firstly begins our Enchanting Cruise aboard a public feature boat to reach Bellagio, also known as the “Pearl of Lake Como”. During this cruise you have to chance to see this lake Como from a different perspective, take your time to look around and see the harmony between nature and architecture. The cruise offers a unique perspective on the charming lakeside towns, lush gardens, and elegant villas that line the shores. As you glide through the lake, you can relax on deck, soak in the sun, and take in the breathtaking scenery. Once in Bellagio enjoy some free time to soak up the laid-back atmosphere of this idyllic and relaxing place and to have lunch. The next stop will be the small village of Cadenabbia, where both Queen Victoria of England and Zar Nicholas of Russia were frequent visitors.

amazing way to spend a day if you don't want to think for yourself or didn't plan early enough and buy ferry tickets. But we really just met at the ferry and had these headsets to listen to the guide chat while we took the 2 hour boat ride to Bellagio. Then we were let loose for 3 hours in bellagio. then we took another ferry to the town across and got on a bus to Lugano (45 min, i slept) where we only had 45 minutes in Lugano. I wish they gave us 2 hours in each location instead of more time in bellagio. Our guide was great and a local to the area and gave us some fun stories, history, sight seeing things. I would do again but think it should include maybe a drink or something else for the $114 price point.

The day trip was perfectly organized with enough free time given at every stop, and even some overhead time was considered everywhere so we will not miss the next transportation (ferry, bus) for sure. Laura, our guide was very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. We really enjoyed this day trip, it included everything we were interested in during our short stay at Lake Como. We would really recommend it!
