Ciao, buongiorno! My name is Alessandra and I'm a true local in Como area, as I was born and grew...

Put your comfortable shoes on and let's explore together the gardens of Villa del Balbianello and the Greenway between Ossuccio and Lenno. Then, enjoy a relaxing and scenic cruise back to Como! A private driver will pick you up in Como and take you to Ossuccio, where our walking tour begins: we'll explore the alleys of this quaint village, walking by the lake, through olive trees, villas and typical houses on whose terraces the lake fish is sundried to prepare Lake Como specialty, the "missoltini". We'll see Comacina island, the only island on Lake Como, and we'll walk (*or taxi boat) to the gardens of Villa del Balbianello, a magnificent property with a fascinating story and a breathtaking view. Free time for lunch in Lenno and, in the afternoon, cruise back to Como. The ferry will sail slowly among villages, villas and gardens. I'll tell you about local traditions, old and new stories and it'll be possible to spot Villa d'Este in Cernobbio and Villa Oleandra, George Clooney's retreat, and much more!
1 - Meet your guide in Como and, by private car/minivan, transfer to Ossuccio (about 1 hr). 2 - Walking tour on the "Greenway" path from Ossuccio to Lenno: discover the history of Comacina island, see the typical boats and the locals working, admire the quaint alleys, the villas and the stone churches.

Snacks and drinks usually available on board. 8 - Back in Como, end of the tour. GRAZIE E ARRIVEDERCI!
Contact your local guide to know more!!
The transfer from Como to Ossuccio will be made by private car/minivan, hired from a local company (the guide is NOT responsible for any problem with the private transportation). * If you're 2 the total price is cheaper, as we'll go by car and not by minivan: just ask me for a quote. For the cruise, we'll use the Ferry system of Lake Como. Details here: http://www.navigazionelaghi.it/eng/c_flotta1.asp?ID=10
