We will meet in Como city where the tour will start with a wrap up of Como city’s history from Roman to modern times.
After that, we will be taking the fast boat/hydrofoil directly to Varenna (about 50 min) showing you along the way (20 miles) all the villages with their historic villas and stunning gardens on Lake Como, e.g. Villa of G. Clooney, Villa del Balbianello (setting place for Star Wars and James Bond Casino Royale), Villa Pizzo (wedding venue of John Legend), Ex-Villa of G. Versace, Villa Carlotta, Villa Cassinella (setting of the series Succession) and many more.
In Varenna we will do a walking tour enjoying marvellous views. After that, we will take the boat to Bellagio (15 min) where there will be first a lunch break of about 1 hour and a walking tour thereafter.
Then, we will return with the hydrofoil boat back to Como city (6/7 pm).
