To us, traveling is an opportunity to connect with the world in a completely different way. We know the secrets of Lake Como — a delicious lakefront trattoria, where to find awe-inspiring viewpoints, locals who open their homes up to guests for memorable cooking classes, and artisans who put thought into every piece of their work. 

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel. Your tour will be curated to reflect your starting location. Many tours are only available on the western side of the lake, while some tours are available for travelers staying on the eastern side of the lake. We don't have any tours running to/from Bellagio, sorry!


Due to the compact size of our vintage cars, the total combined weight limit for all passengers is 500 pounds or 225 kilograms per vehicle. Each vehicle can hold 3 passengers, plus the driver. To ensure safety, children must be at least 6 years old to ride in the vehicle. A booster seat will be provided, but car seats cannot be attached to the seats.

Please note that your hotel's location on the lake determines which tours are available to you.

We believe traveling means more than                 taking a vacation.

Next, it's lunch time at a charming local restaurant. Enjoy an appetizer and a main course, all complemented by a lovely glass of wine. And of course, no Italian adventure is complete without a sweet finale — we’ll wrap things up with a stop for some creamy gelato.

NOTE: This tour is offered on the western shore only, for clients staying between Cernobbio and Menaggio. It is unavailable for those staying on the eastern shore unless you want to take a water taxi (not arranged by us) over to a designated meeting point on the opposite side of the lake.

To sweeten the experience, savor a delicious dessert before we make our way back to your hotel, cruising once more through the lake’s spectacular scenery. Buckle up and buon appetito!

EVENING IN THE TOWER

This is no ordinary dinner — it’s an exclusive, unforgettable evening perfect for a romantic wedding proposal or anniversary. Your night begins with a scenic drive along the shores of Lake Como. We’ll cruise through picturesque lakeside towns and stop to snap some photos to capture your special evening.

Next, we’re off to a private tower offering views that will leave you speechless. Picture this: a table set for two, flickering candlelight, the moonlight reflecting on the lake, and a multi-course dinner that’s almost too beautiful to eat (but you totally will). Enjoy an appetizer, homemade pasta, main course, dessert, and wine, of course!

NOTE: This tour is offered in Tremezzo. If you are staying on the western shores (Bellagio, Blevio, Torno, etc.) you will need to arrange a private water taxi to/from the tour. The ferry does not run at night.
