Overview

Discover the must-sees of Lake Como — the dreamy villages of Bellagio and Varenna — and a hidden gem no other tour reaches: the dramatic Bellano Gorge.

Wander the narrow cobblestone streets of Bellagio and Varenna, with ample free time to explore Villa Melzi, enjoy lunch at a waterfront restaurant, and take in the views.

Skip the lines and crowds with priority boat access.

Explore Bellagio, Varenna, and Bellano on a walking tour with your guide in a small group of no more than 15 — while guiding larger groups of 25+ is banned by law in Bellagio.

In summer, you can stay longer in Bellano and enjoy a refreshing swim in Lake Como, weather permitting. The beach is small and rocky, with deep water close to shore.

Activity itinerary

Varenna

Visit Varenna, one of the most photographed villages on Lake Como. Stroll along the scenic lakeside promenade, explore the old town streets, and enjoy free time to discover viewpoints, cafés, and small local shops. Your guide helps orient the visit so you can make the most of your time.

Bellagio

  • 2h 30m
Explore Bellagio at your own pace, one of the most scenic villages on Lake Como. Stroll along the lakeside promenade, climb the stone stairways of the old town, relax in quiet piazzas, or enjoy a coffee with lake views. You may also choose to visit Villa Melzi Gardens or browse small local shops. Free time is unhurried, allowing you to enjoy Bellagio calmly without rushing.

Menaggio (Pass by)

Cruise past the lakeside town of Menaggio, enjoying beautiful views from the water as you continue towards the next stop.

Orrido di Bellano

  • 1h 15m
  • Admission ticket included
Walk through the Bellano Gorge (Orrido di Bellano), a natural canyon carved by rushing water over thousands of years. Follow elevated walkways fixed to the rock walls, passing waterfalls, narrow passages, and dramatic views directly above the river below. The visit is fully walkable and well maintained, making it easy to explore while enjoying a unique natural setting. After the gorge, take time to visit Bellano, a calm lakeside village with a local atmosphere, far from mass tourism. This stop adds a quieter, natural experience that most Lake Como day trips do not include.
