Buongiorno and welcome on Lake Como!

My name is Silvia and I feeel proud to be a guide. I wake up in the morning and I know that everyday is unique because I can see the beauty of lake Como from the eyes of my guests and I never have to forget how lucky am I in living such in a wonderful place.

I started to work as an employee in the main tourism offices of the region. I graduated in foreign languages for art and cultures and after a period spent between Germany and Switzerland, 2012, I passed the exam to be a licensed tour guide on Lake Como and the one to became a licensed tour leader.
In Switzerland I had got the chance to work for a tour operator company where I learned how to lead big groups as well as to provide taylormade tourism experiences for couples, families and small groups.

2018 with the birth of my twins I decided to come back to my first love and to work as a guide on lake Como.
I will be honoured to have got the chance to make you feel love my homeland.
Can't wait to meet you!

My education was mostly concentrated to the study of foreign languages (english, german and french), art and cultures. 2010 I obtained my degree at the University of Genova.
Licensed Lake Como Tour Guide since 2012 and Licensed tour leader since 2013

I am not a driver but I can arrange a private transportation upon request by private luxury car with AC or by private boat and driver.

Did you know that Italy's most famous lakes are situated in the Italian Lake District which is an area on the north of the country, onto which Lake Como is spreading with its 'two legs'?

At Lake Como we believe that the best way to spend a holiday in our beautiful region is to learn about the culture, see the colors, taste the flavors and soak up the atmosphere with a local.

We'll visit the stunning lake with its amazing villas by private boat. During our boat tour we'll stop in three different old and charming villages to have an Italian coffee break, a wine tasting and a great Italian gelato.

Sailing to the villages we'll pass in front of stunning, rich and old Villas. We are going to stop in Bellagio, the pearl of the Lake, where we will enjoy the time to walk down the suggestive staircases with characteristic shops, romantic restaurants and old monuments. It will be an unforgettable day!

Lugano and Madonna del Sasso

Bellagio "the pearl of the lake" : this is the way we call this stunning village you can't miss at all.
Situated in an extraordinary position, where lake Como splits in its two famous branches.

Bellagio is nowadays an enchanting old fisherman village full of history and culture. Walking up and down through its famous stairways you can admire elegant shops and cafes, beautiful palaces and buildings, breath and enjoy its unique and romantic atmosphere.

This tour also allows you to discover the majestic Villa Carlotta situated in Tremezzo on the west shore of the lake. This beautiful late -XVII century villa keeps a rich collection of pieces of art and sculptures worthy to be visited.
The garden, the biggest of the area, is wonderful: the spring blooming of camelias, azaleas, wisteria trees, rhododendros and other plants creates a stunning rainbow of colours.

Walking around the romantic garden of the villa makes you live and enjoy a magical experience, probably the best memory of your trip.
