Signature Tours at Lake Como
Como is a living scene with history and character. Alongside the panoramas—villas where, from time to time, famous people seek privacy.
A Slow,Unhurried Pace
My approach is an unhurried walk through history, architecture, and the meanings behind them — not rushing through landmarks.
Over 11 yearsliving in Italy
I know Como not from guidebooks, but through lived experience — sensing how the lake breathes and opens itself to those who move slowly.
Licensed guide,art historian
I bring architecture and art to life — from Neoclassicism to Romantic gardens — revealing
the stories, details, and context that give them depth.
We speak the same language
I conduct tours in English, I offer tours in English, Ukrainian, Italian, and Russian — choose what feels most
comfortable for you.

Como — A City Reflecting the Sky (3.5 hours)
I invite you to explore one of Italy’s most captivating cities, where the lake is not merely a backdrop, but the very soul of the place. Como is a quiet harmony of architecture, nature, and history — unfolding naturally as we walk.
What you'll see
● Funicular ride to Brunate and the "Balcony on the Alps" viewpoint: we'll discover how one of the world's most famous lakes was formed and see a panorama of Como and its surroundings, including Villa d'Este, where Caroline of Brunswick once took refuge — the heroine of a scandalous European affair.
● Architectural gems — Art Nouveau and Neoclassical villas, and the stories of their owners: aristocrats, writers, and collectors.
● Walk through the old town: famous residents and guests of Como — from Alessandro Volta to Mary Shelley and Lord Byron. It was here that the idea for "Frankenstein" was born.
● Como silk — a symbol of luxury that defines local tradition.
● Final note — the lakefront promenade and Villa Olmo park, where architecture meets natural harmony.
Optional extension: 2 additional hours — a boat ride to the town of Cernobbio and a visit to the Art Nouveau Villa Bernasconi.
€250
for a group of up to 5 people
Additional participant: €20 per person.Funicular tickets, boat fare, and the Villa Bernasconi entrance fee are not included.
Varenna and Bellagio: Two Shores of Enchantment (4.5 hours)
We'll begin in Varenna — a quiet fishing village with an atmosphere of timeless tranquility. We'll stroll along the "Lovers' Walk," see the churches of San Giorgio and San Giovanni Battista, and feel the true spirit of Lago di Como. We'll visit Villa Monastero with its magnificent garden and unforgettable views.
Then we'll cross the lake by boat or ferry to reach Bellagio — the town Americans call "the pearl of the lake." Here, charming streets, colorful shops, the famous Bellagio lamppost, and Villa Melzi d'Eril await us — with its enchanting park and the story of Franz Liszt's visit.

Two Masterpieces of Lake Como: Villa Carlotta and Villa del Balbianello(4.5 hours)
Why do travelers come to Lake Como? For the harmony between nature and human design — a balance most clearly expressed in its historic villas.This tour offers the opportunity to visit two of the lake’s most significant residences: Villa Carlotta and Villa del Balbianello.
What you'll see
● Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo.An elegant Neoclassical residence, celebrated for its botanical garden, which bursts into bloom in spring with camellias and azaleas. Inside, a refined collection of Neoclassical sculptures and paintings creates an atmosphere of balance, calm, and harmony. ● Villa del Balbianello The true queen of the lake. Set on the panoramic Lavedo promontory, once the site of a Franciscan monastery, the villa is renowned for its immaculate gardens, dramatic terraces, and layered history. Its last owner, explorer and patron Guido Monzino, shaped Balbianello into one of the world’s most iconic villas through his devotion to beauty and detail. It is no coincidence that scenes from Star Wars and James Bond were filmed here.
If you wish to combine the tour with a private boat ride, this must be arranged in advance.
