Overview

Make Memories to last a lifetime on our “Cruise & Cooking Class” experience in one of the most characteristic fishing village at Lake Como. Meet your guide in Bellagio and embark on our public boat for a 1h relaxing cruise on the Eastern Branch of the lake. Experience unique natural beauty and learn about the history and culture of our territory while admiring the XIX villas and noble mansions. Step off the boat and enjoy a delicious Italian breakfast with your guide and new travel companions before starting your cooking experience. Break the ice and sit together around a large table and practice some Italian with our local chef while learning to make ravioli, tagliatelle and a delicious dessert.
