Both Villa Carlotta and the gardens were stunning! Just be aware that this is a self-guided tour with no guide to share the history and you will have to navigate the ferries and all transportation yourself. Skip the hefty fee and tour and you will get the same experience minus the lunch (which we skipped).

Really love the villas of Lake Como. Our guide Pietro was really fun and helpful, he presented all villas in his own way, not even a minute we were bored. The boat was also beautiful, we had the chance to have the Venetian style and the captain was also nice.
A must to do tour when you visit Lake Como

We booked this tour during our 2 weeks stay in Italy. We visited the main cities such as Rome, Florence and Milan. When we stayed in Milan we decided to visit also the other destination nearby, we chose the famous Lake Como. Our concierge recommended us this tour because we wanted to visit the beautiful villas of the place. We were really satisfied with the experience. The company's travel agent Rea, has assisted us patiently with the booking process and hotel transfers. The tour went well, and it even exeeds our expectation. We were also lucky because it was sunny, the lake was very calm.

Lake Como deserves the hype! The views are very magical, truly embraced by nature. We really enjoyed this tour. Gigliola was very kind and knowlegdable. We met her at Bellagio and board the private boat to visit the villas. We were amazed by the beauty of Villa Balbianello's park and Villa Carlotta, they were both well maintained. Then by 1 pm the boat drop us at the gardens of Villa Melzi, our last destination. The garden was very beautiful.
After the tour we were picked up by the shuttle for our lunch. The restaurant was located on top of Bellagio, there was a great view of Lake Como.
Best activity we did during our stay!
