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 Even if my calendar shows no availability, feel free to get in touch. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver or by private boat. Just to clarify, I only arrange hotel or port pick-up and drop-off through the driver. I will meet you at the meeting point. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.

From Cathedrals to Crystal Waters: Full-day private tour
Overview of your Como tour
Start your Lake Como adventure in the heart of its medieval city center. We'll explore historic gems like the Cathedral, Piazza Volta, San Fedele Church, Porta Torre, and more. From architectural icons like Casa del Fascio and Teatro Sociale to the serene views of the Diga Foranea and Tempio Voltiano, this walk blends art, history, and elegance. Then, we’ll board a private boat for a scenic cruise across the lake. Marvel at the beauty of world-famous villas—Villa Carlotta, Villa del Balbianello, Villa Melzi, Villa Erba, and even George Clooney’s Villa Oleandra—while discovering picturesque towns like Cernobbio, Lenno, and Torno. We'll stop in three charming villages for an authentic Italian experience: enjoy a coffee break, a wine tasting, and delicious artisanal gelato. In Bellagio, stroll cobbled alleys and savor lunch by the lake.
