THE SCENIC ROUTE

Explore Lake Como's roads with breathtaking views. We’ll stop at 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.

01. the scenic route: 2.5 HOURS

02. PICNIC on the island:  3 HOURS

PICNIC ON THE ISLAND

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.

TASTE OF COMO

Bring your appetite for this tour! Your first stop is 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 full 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 up your tour with a dessert!

03. TASTE OF COMO: 4 HOURS

04. TIMELESS TREMEZZO: 3.5 HOURS

TIMELESS TREMEZZO

Soak up the Italian vibes and stop for photos at stunning lookout points, capturing memories of your unforgettable day on Lake Como.

Head to the iconic Grand Hotel Tremezzo for a refreshing spritz & appetizers, all while taking in the panoramic views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. 

Next, self-explore the expansive botanical gardens of the historic Villa Carlotta. Enjoy two incredible Lake 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!

"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!"
