The Italian Lakes: a little slice of paradise

This wonderful tour starts in magical Venice and finishes in elegant Turin. In between you stay on two of the most beautiful and interesting of all the Italian lakes; Lago di Como and Lago Maggiore, both forming part of the border between Italy and Switzerland. Along the way you visit the smaller lakes of Lugano and Orta.
Strung along the foot of the Alps, for millennia the Italian Lakes have been a gateway to the colour and life of the Mediterranean world. The walks on the tour follow these same ancient stone paths that wind high above the lakes passing through forests and isolated hamlets, with spectacular views across to soaring mountains, deep valleys and historic villas.
