About This Tour

A 10-day circuit of northern Italy's lakes — Milan, Lake Como's Bellagio and Tremezzo, Lake Maggiore's Borromean Islands, and wine and hazelnut tastings in Monferrato. Adapted from a self-drive itinerary — Voyzo runs this route with your own private driver and vehicle instead of a rental car. The original route explores Lakes Como and Maggiore against the foothills of the Alps, with mountain hikes, boat tours and wine tastings along the way.
