Tour Highlights
Full Description
Mix with the community and practise some Italian at local shops, bars and piazzas. Our Food Tour is not simply a walking tour. It's a taste of local life.
Start your day with our world-famous thick-foamed espresso continuing exploring Bellagio with your new friends, walking through its picturesque steep stone alleys, admiring the elegance of its boutiques.
Stop by at our local favorite "pasticceria" and "osterie". Tastings here are more than just delicious. Continue exploring Lake Como catching a ferry to Varenna for our afternoon sweet tasting followed by a guided walking tour of the village. Afterwards, we'll cruise over to Menaggio, where we’ll enjoy a delicious aperitif at a charming, authentic local spot—highly appreciated by locals—before catching the ferry back to Bellagio.
