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!

Combine the visit of the historical centre of Como with a final relaxing wine tasting in a typical local "enoteca". We'll see Como's highlights like the Cathedral, piazza Volta, piazza Cavour, the architectural masterpiece "Casa del Fascio", via Vittani, Piazza San Fedele, the lakeside promenade, with a walking tour of 2/ 2. 5 hours. Founded more than 2000 years ago, Como is rich in art masterpieces. It is a charming city and has many stories to tell: you'll be fascinated with the history of how the electrical battery was invented here, the tradition of silk weaving and intrigued by the mystery of the two statues on the Cathedral. Once your desire to explore Como is satisfied, we'll sit and relax in an "enoteca" for a wine tasting! Depending on the place open on that day, you'll taste 2 or 3 different qualities of wine (sparkling, white or red) will be served together with some cold cuts, appetizers and/or a selection of cheese from the area. If you wish, it's possible to buy some bottles!
