About Lombardy

Lombardy's lakes have carried merchants, pilgrims and noble families for centuries, and seeing them from the water is the most direct way to read that history — Roman Sirmione, the villas of Lake Como, the fortified shorelines of Lake Garda. A full-day outing such as From Milan: Verona, Sirmione & Lake Garda Tour with Boat Cruise pairs a guided boat crossing with time in the historic centres, while Lake Como: Villa del Balbianello & Bellagio by Private Boat and Ferry puts a celebrated lakeside villa at the centre of the day.

Frequently asked questions

These experiences combine time on the water with guided context on land: Roman and medieval remains in Sirmione, the villas and gardens of Lake Como, and historic town centres around Lake Garda. The boat is the thread that links the sites, so you cover more heritage in a single day than by road, with commentary from a guide throughout.
