To us, Lake Como isn’t about seeing the highly touristic spots everyone has heard of — it’s about experiencing an authentic side of the lake. It’s the magic of exploring smaller towns you've likely never heard of, but that look straight out of a movie.

We know where to find the hidden trattoria with lakefront tables, the panoramic turnouts most visitors drive right past, and private chefs who assist in curating our private picnics. We know which cobblestone alleys lead to unexpected views — and we even know of a private tower that makes for the most unforgettable private dinner.

Our goal? To offer a perspective of Lake Como that beautifully complements what you’ll see from the water. While boat tours showcase the lake’s iconic shoreline, our experiences take you deeper — into the villages and hidden corners that can only be discovered by car, with a local by your side.




Visiting Lake Como is about so much more than       visiting Bellagio or Varenna.

THE SCENIC ROUTE

Take a ride — the pretty way — through Lake Como. You'll hop into one of our vintage Fiat 500’s and explore the roads with breathtaking views. No need to speak over a revving engine, as the car has been converted to electric and makes for a pleasant drive. 

We’ll stop at a few of our favorite lookout points for photos and some fresh air. Next, you'll be heading to a local restaurant for a cocktail & plenty of food. It’s a charming spot that provides a local Italian experience with stunning lake views. It’s the perfect way to experience Lake Como’s beauty and enjoy a relaxed version of the lake for a few hours.

Please notify at time of booking of any food restrictions/allergies.

02. PICNIC on the island:  3 HOURS

PICNIC ON THE ISLAND

Explore a quieter, more authentic side of Lake Como in one of our vintage Fiat 500s. No revving engines here, it’s been converted to electric! This thoughtfully curated tour takes you along scenic lakeside roads just like a move set, with photo stops at panoramic viewpoints, before arriving at the lake’s only island — the peaceful and uninhabited Isola Comacina, a place most travelers never reach.

After a short 2-minute boat ride, you’ll enjoy a private picnic in one of two stunning settings: a lakefront dining table or beneath ancient olive trees near Roman ruins and a centuries-old church. The menu includes delicious seasonal dishes, a bottle of wine, and homemade limoncello.

It’s all about slowing down: enjoying good food + drinks and views you’ll want to linger over, without any crowds in sight.

Please notify at time of booking of any food restrictions/allergies.

TASTE OF COMO

Get ready for a day full of authentic flavors and fun onboard a vintage Fiat 500 Jolly! There will be no revving engines or gas fumes, because the car is electric. It makes for a peaceful ride throughout the charming villages! 

Stop to enjoy an aperitivo as the locals do — grab a cocktail with some delicious snacks to fill you up! Along the way, soak in breathtaking views and capture some postcard-worthy photos at a vantage point. 

Next, it's lunch time at a charming local restaurant! Enjoy appetizers and a main course, all complemented by a glass of wine or a spritz. And of course, no Italian adventure is complete without a sweet finale — we’ll wrap things up with a stop for some creamy gelato before heading back to the hotel.

Please notify at time of booking of any food restrictions/allergies.

03. TASTE OF COMO: 4 HOURS

04. TIMELESS TREMEZZO: 3.5 HOURS

TIMELESS TREMEZZO

Experience the beauty and culture of Tremezzo, cruising through the charming streets in a vintage Fiat 500 Jolly. It’s been converted to electric, so there will be no revving engines or gas fumes! Soak up the Italian vibes and stop for photos at a stunning lookout point, capturing memories of your unforgettable day on Lake Como.

Head to the iconic Grand Hotel Tremezzo for a refreshing drink & appetizers, all while taking in the panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. It’s the perfect moment to relax and unwind in a luxurious setting.

Next, self-explore the expansive botanical gardens of the historic Villa Carlotta*. Step into the past as you admire the beauty and elegance of both of these infamous Como landmarks.

Where you’re staying on Lake Como determines which tours are available to you. If you’re interested in a tour that isn’t available from your hotel's location, we’re happy to arrange an alternative meeting point within our service area.

You will need a boat transfer or to take the ferry over to the meeting point. The ferry operates limited hours & often sells out far in advance, so we highly recommend booking a boat transfer. If you need assistance, just let us know!

One of the best experiences! Fede was such an amazing guide with a wealth of information. We loved traveling in authentic Italian style - absolutely perfect way to take in the beauty Como has to offer!

- MADELINE F.

People don't realize how difficult it is to move around in Lake Como, and we almost felt trapped in our hotel. We chose the "Taste of Como" tour and we got picked up with their amazing vintage Fiat's to enjoy different restaurants and fun stops. Super recommend!

- Alex S.

What a fun experience on a day we will remember forever! These electric vintage Fiat's are truly adorable and our guide (Federico) was very funny and knowledgeable.) One note...Get ready to be noticed!

- Sheila R.

Wow! What a great experience we had. I rented 2 Fiat 500's, one for my family and one for my son's family. We enjoyed the best coffee, and we finished with a delightful meal! We will be back!

- FABIAN B.

My wife and I felt like we were living in a dream. They staged our very own Italian picnic! I wish I could live like this every day.

- JUAN G.

We loved our tour! Our family of 4 had the best time checking our small villages, coffee with the locals and then a stop for lunch right on the lake. Along with that, the tour guides made it so much fun for us! Highlight from our time in Como. Highly recommend!

- Alison A.

- Michelle I.

"We had the best time and ate delicious food. We never would have found these places without La Dolce Guida's local expertise. They were totally off our radar!"

"Such a great day on Lake Como in the cutest little car! Fede was a wonderful guide and had us laughing all day. Everyone smiled and waves as we drove by. How fun!"

- Nicole M.
