BELLAGIO E-Bike Tour + Villa Melzi + Lunch (Meet the locals)

Kenneth_L, Aug 2025

Cycling with Bellagio, Lake Como

Simone was an amazing guide. We had so much fun, and the scenery is so beautiful. Three in the group were not cyclist and they did great with the E-assist (cheat assist). Would do again. As a cyclist loved the hills, as it was a dream fulfilled cycling in Italy. Personally wanted to go faster downhill, but I understand the need for safety. Thank you for a perfect day. Lunch was perfection. It was so good we went back for dinner, plus the view was unforgettable.

Zachary_W, Aug 2025

Bang for your buck

Over 5 hours of activities in one experience. You start with your guide seeing the town before it gets super busy via ebike. He took us to some cool spots no cars can go without other tourists. Next a shuttle picked us up and we had a wonderful lunch with an amazing viewpoint of the lake. Finally the shuttle takes you to a villa where you can see the most amazing plants, trees, and flowers. Great value in this experience. 5/5

BELLAGIO FOOD TOUR + Villa Melzi

Alphonso_W, Jun 2025

What a wonderful taste of Bellagio

This was our first time in Italy, and booking a food tour and Villa Balbianello tour with Elena on our first day in Bellagio was a stroke of good fortune. She was an amazing tour guide, the food was incredible, the boat ride bellisimo, Elena is as knowledgeable as she is personable. Would recommend this to anyone who wants a tour from someone who loves her job and loves food. Wear good walking shoes and an appetite, you will need them.

Kathryn_S, Oct 2024

Wonderful Tour!

Elena was fantastic, fun and full of energy. This is so much more than a food tour. The food was great, we were full by the time it was over. But she took us to so many great spots that we never would have found on our own and she even taught us a little Italian along the way. She is very knowledgeable and friendly, we had great conversation and wonderful day. I highly recommend booking this very special experience.
