Lake Como Boat Tour

We left from Varenna and our guide Ricardo did a wonderful job pointing out sights on Lake Como. We had tickets to Villa De Balbiano and he dropped us off promptly at our ticket time. We requested to be dropped off in Bellagio instead of Varenna to save us a ferry ticket over later on. Thanks Ricardo for a wonderful trip and for pointing out your home in Lesso!
