Lago maggiore tours

Welcome to Italy's beautiful Lake Country, with its undulating hills, medieval towns and villages, and delightful slow food movement. Basing yourself out of historic Stresa, you can enjoy all the charms of Lago Maggiore and the Borromeo Islands. A local guide is waiting to reveal the region's delights on a private Lake Maggiore tour. First settled over a millennia ago, the town of Stresa was heavily influenced by Milan's aristocratic Borromeo family, who commissioned the beautiful 15th - 17th century palaces and villas for which Stresa and the neighbouring islands are renowned. Your guide will introduce you to the sumptuous Baroque palace and terraced gardens of Isola Bella, the charming villas, gardens and theatres on Isola Madre, and the traditional fishing village of Isla Pescatori. Don't miss the Sacro Monte di Orta, which was recently included on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Enjoy discovering Italy's beautiful Lake Maggiore and Orta with your charming local guide.
