Ciao, buongiorno! My name is Alessandra and I'm a true local in Como area, as I was born and grew up here. I'm a Licensed Tourist Guide and a Tour Director, and I love sharing the beauties of Lake Como and the local stories area with people interested in discovering the area. I graduated in Art History at Bologna University and studied Photography in Milan. When I'm not working as a private guide, I teach Photography and, in my free time, I love traveling around the world. I have 2 kids, one is a teenager and the other a baby, so they keep me always pretty busy! I enjoy working with families and kids and I'd be more than happy to plan a tailor-made tour for you. Please contact me if you need any info or you have any doubt. Lake Como area has a lot to offer. Together we could discover this city, founded by the Romans more than 2000 years ago and considered to be one of the most lovely cities in Northern Italy, or we could get on a boat to have a look at the stunning villas on the shores of Lake Como. We could take the funicular, a kind of cable car that will take us on the top of a hill to get an amazing view over Como and the sorrounding mountains, or we can enjoy a scenic cruise to Bellagio, "the pearl of Lake Como", a quaint village well-known in the world for the landscape and the athmosphere. Looking forward to meeting you in Como!

Discover the charm of Como and enjoy a cruise on the lake: amazing villas and quaint villages from the best perspective!
Overview of your Como tour
This tour will help you get to know Como and the lower lake area, combining an essential walking tour in the city centre and a cruise on the lake to taste the charm of small villages as Cernobbio, Torno and Moltrasio Although I've walked the streets of Como since I was a teenager, I still enjoy sharing their atmosphere and the many stories that the city has to tell. Like the tradition of silk weaving, why is Como the cradle of the electrical battery, the "mystery" of the 2 statues on the Cathedral front-side. The most relaxing part of the tour is the short cruise, which will allow us to see the lake shores and some of the most famous villas from the best perspective: water! If you wish and time allows, I suggest a short walk either in Cernobbio - I love the narrow alleys in the town centre, so different from the luxury of the 5 stars luxury hotel Villa D'Este - or Torno, for a gelato or a drink.
