About Lombardy

Lombardy's lake district is best understood from the water, where steep wooded slopes drop straight into deep blue water and historic villas line the shore. Lake Como is the heart of it, and a Private Lake Como Cruise with Local Captains puts you on the water with someone who knows every inlet, while the Lake Como Small Group Boat Tour with Aperitivo and Prosecco stretches the outing over four relaxed hours. Whether you depart from Bellagio, Varenna or another lakeside village, a boat trip reveals a side of the region the roads never reach.
