A guided hike from Varenna to Castello di Vezio, Villa Monastero gardens, and the Fiumelatte, with Lake Como views.
“Nadia is everything you desire in a hiking guide…energetic, knowledgeable, friendly, and adventurous. We covered a LOT of ground, and I learned so much about Italy from her. I’m so grateful that I booked this hike!”
Panoramic Lake Como hikes with private English guides, secluded trails, and flexible pacing. 2 to 5 hours from $178.54.
“Good hike with great views over Lake Como. Good arrangement and great guiding and assistance from guide Andrey”
Guided river trekking in Italy’s Brembana Valley. From San Pellegrino Terme, you get wetsuit gear and an active 3.5-hour outing.
“Pounding through the rapids on our raft, listening to our great guide explain how to NOT fall out of the raft. Very beautiful scenery in the Brembana Valley.”
Bellagio hike to scenic villages and lake views, plus Villa Melzi gardens and an included lunch with local wine.
“Great food, sightseeing and hiking. Lunch was amazing with the best lasagna I’ve ever had with a view overlooking Bellagio and the lake. Sabrina and Elena were an absolute delight with great energy and stories to make this a memorable and fun excursion.”
A small-group guided trek from Bellano to Varenna on Lake Como, with Orrido di Bellano gorge walkways and Castello di Vezio views.
“Quedamos con Nadia en la estación de tren de Bellano. Visitamos el Orrido di Bellano (espectacular), e hicimos la caminata de Bellano a Varenna. Las vistas son impresionantes, y Nadia nos iba contando la historia del lago Como y de las distintas poblaciones que hay a sus orillas. Parando a comer en el castello di Vezio, y susurramos nuestros deseos a los fantasmas para que la reina Teodolinda nos ayude a cumplirlos. En Varenna, que es muy bonito (pero está masificado), un paseo por la orilla del lago, un helado riquísimo para acabar la visita. Y despues, para terminar, vila Monasterio y su jardín botánico.”
Private guided trekking from Milan to Monte San Primo for forested Como views, an airy mountain hike, and flexible pickup options.
“A beautiful day for a hike and Giorgio was very friendly guide. He did a great job of pacing our hike and giving alternatives during our hike. A very panoramic view from the peak. I would suggest adding the length of the hike to the description of the experience, it was longer than we anticipated and we would have brought more water.”
Trek through Milan’s Boscoincittà forest, then relax with a Lake of Turtles picnic featuring Italian cheeses, beer, and water.
“è stata un esperienza meravigliosa,Davide il nostro Tour operator molto gentile e disponibile, abbiamo scoperto una Milano incontaminata grazie a lui, consiglio vivamente questa esperienza”
2-hour guided stroll in Boscoincitta with a 20-minute turtles-lake picnic, small group nature break from Milan, in English.
“A wonderful walk through the urban forest. Knowledgeable guide. I had a great walk and it was a welcome break from the chaos of Milan”
Guided 3.5-hour hike from Lecco with lakeshore walking and near-crowd-free mountain views over Lake Como’s east branch.
“It was a wonderful hike; views are breathtaking and that is not an exaggeration!! Lecco is fabulous and in my opinion underrated..our guide Silvia, was beyond expectations from the minute we met her; it was like we were friends forever; so very worth while!!”
Hike above Lecco, taste local craft beer, and watch sunset over Lake Como from a high lookout, with a dinner voucher.
“Gabriele and Isabella were wonderful guides. They curated a nice experience for us at the brewery, and lead a good hike, pointing out flora and history along the way. The hike was lovely and had great views at the top, but Gabriele and Isabella Read more”
Sunset hike above Lake Como to a rustic mountain house, with aperitivo and local Italian plates hosted by Marco and Natalie.
“From start to finish, La Dolce Vita experience was fun and stress free. Marco was easy to communicate and coordinate with and Natalie complemented him with preparations made in the best ways possible. We enjoyed our short hike to the mountain retreat where we shared good food, drink, and stories. The view was outstanding and the evening will never be forgotten. We definitely feel as if new friendships were made over the hospitality that was shared.”
Two-day private hike on Lake Como’s Wayfarers Path from Varenna to Colico with a nature guide, castle stops, and gorge walkways.
“Abbiamo conosciuto Nadia attraverso una recensione positiva su Internet e abbiamo voluto “provarla” 😉 Abbiamo fatto con lei ormai più di una decina di escursioni, tra cui queste tappe del Sentiero del Viandante.”
