Hello, my name is Melissa and I'm a Licensed Tourist Guide. I was born in a little and characteristic village overlooking Lake Como and I still live here with my family. My two daughters take the hydrofoil every morning to reach Como to go to high school and I drive every morning from north to south, from east to west to meet my guests in villages and towns. I can say, without any doubt, that we are a real local family. Lake Como isn't just my home but it's something I feel in my soul, in my heart, in my mind. I think that for my job, knowledge is essential. To be a professional tourist guide it is important to have a rich cultural background in history, art, botany and to know all the secrets of the area. I really like to share my passion for traditions, local products and food with my guests and to give them an explosion of emotions they will remember when they go home. During the low season I follow lessons, lectures and courses to improve my own skills and I like to travel to see new countries and to visit museums and art exhibitions. I am a very active person and my hobbies are walking in the mountains and running. I find these activities a way to relax my mind but sometimes I also enjoy laying on the sofa and reading a book. I always tell my guests that one visit is not enough to get to know Lake Como so once you've been here, you need to come back! I'm waiting for you. . .

Spend a day entirely dedicated to exploring North Lake Como, a destination embodying pure serenity. Be captivated by the harmonious spirit of old fishing villages, where the breathtaking landscape meets the richness of sacred treasures nestled within ancient churches. Visiting these small towns, set dramatically between the lake and the peaks, leaves you feeling suspended between past and present. Exploring their historical centers, with stone steps, weathered squares, and narrow lanes, will catapult you into times gone by. This is an intimate experience designed for those seeking depth, history, and the quietude of nature. Lose yourself in the "Upper Lake" (Alto Lario), where the air is crisper, the crowds are thinner, and the connection to Italian heritage is felt in every footstep along the shore.
Departure for Menaggio Coffee break and a stroll on the scenic lakeside The Romanesque Soul of Gravedona Extraordinary opening of the old Augustinian convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie Lakeside Stroll Old Town Alleys Lunch and wine tasting at a winery with splendid lake views and visit of the cellars The itinerary can be customized according to your needs and requests.
