Elena was absolutely incredible. She communicated with us ahead of time & gave us clear instructions on where & how to meet her. She went over what we would be doing & she could not have undersold it any more. The day itself was beyond belief. We had a private boat pickup for just our small group of 3 & we spent the first hour going around the lake & taking it all of the incredible views of the different coastlines while Elena shared just enough information for it not be overwhelming about some of the history of the different towns & villas. We then got off at the bottom of Villa Balbianello & got there early enough that the crowds were not as busy as they can be at times. It was beyond the highlight of our trip & I can not recommend that you take the opportunity to take advantage of this experience when visiting Lake Como! 10/10 A+++

Excellent tour guide...
Excellent tour guide (Rita) with access to the villa. Incredible treasures to see inside and a nice view of a man’s legacy.

Great experience
It was a great experience, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and even gave us additional points of interest and places to eat. She arranged a car to pick us up and take us at no extra charge.

Must do experience
Great experience. Only thing was private boat ride leaves you at the Villa then you need to get a water taxi back to a Lenno which leaves every 20mins. Due to it being a busy day, we waited 40mins in the heat (Summer time). Was a little uncomfortable for my 3 year old. Other than that was excellent.

Thank you Zoe for your review. The tour ends at Villa del Balbianello. Our clients have the option to get back to Lenno by taking the Balbianello Boat (euro 6pp - 5 min cruise) or walk back to the Village (20min walk). We always tell our clients to check the length of the queue for the Balbianello boat for if it is too long it is better to walk back to Lenno (an easy path which is also in the shade)

The Best Tour Guide!
Elena, our guide, was amazing! She walked us around Bellagio before we caught our water taxi. She is extremely personable and her English is excellent. She even stayed with us after our private tour of the villa (done by another guide) and walked down to Lenno with us. She went above and beyond and called to make a restaurant reservation for us. She seemed to know everyone that worked at the villa and other boat guides. She is very good at what she does and help made a fun memory for our trip.
