Please plan to arrive in time for the 09:45 meeting.<a class=\"lce-maplink\" href=\"https:\/\/lakecomoexplorer.com\/milan-to-lake-como-get-from-airport-to-lake-como\/#from-milan-city\">More details<\/a><\/div><\/details>\n          <details><summary>Is the villa interior included?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">The experience visits the gardens and panoramic balconies of Villa del Balbianello. The villa interior is not included due to time constraints, and Villa Melzi\u2019s interior is a private residence opened only for events.<\/div><\/details>\n          <details><summary>Is this tour suitable for everyone?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Not for everyone. The day involves boarding and disembarking at lake piers, steps and uneven ground, so it is not suitable for wheelchair users, or for guests with limited mobility, balance difficulties, or a strong susceptibility to motion or seasickness. A comfortable level of fitness is needed, and closed-toe, non-slip shoes are strongly recommended. For safety we cannot accommodate children under 7, or guests travelling with animals.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>How much walking is involved?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">A moderate amount, on ground that is rarely flat. Lake Como is a mountain lake: Villa del Balbianello occupies a wooded promontory, and from the landing its gardens rise through steps and sloping gravel paths. Bellagio&rsquo;s lanes are cobbled and stepped, while Villa Melzi&rsquo;s gardens are level but reached on foot. Add boarding and disembarking at lake piers through the day. The pace is relaxed, with regular pauses, but you should be steady on your feet. Closed-toe, non-slip shoes are strongly recommended.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>What is the cancellation policy?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">You can cancel up to 48 hours before the tour begins and receive a full refund. Within 48 hours of the departure time the booking is no longer refundable.<\/div><\/details>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/section>\n\n    <\/div><!-- \/content -->\n    <aside class=\"lce-rail\"><div class=\"lce-card\" id=\"book\">\n      <p class=\"lce-price\">\u20ac 450 <span class=\"per\">\/ person<\/span><\/p>\n      <ul class=\"lce-facts\"><li>Departure <b>10:00<\/b><\/li><li>Duration <b>7\/8 hours<\/b><\/li><li>Runs <b>Tue &amp; Thu\u2013Sun<\/b><\/li><li>Group <b>max 10 guests<\/b><\/li><li>Language <b>English<\/b><\/li><li>Reference code: <b>BALMEL<\/b><\/li><\/ul>\n      <hr class=\"lce-cardhair\">\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.bokun.io\/assets\/javascripts\/apps\/build\/BokunWidgetsLoader.js?bookingChannelUUID=c17d79d4-81b1-4347-91aa-845d65c8aa1e\" async=\"\"><\/script>\n      <style> #bokun_cdfa4be6_9c8b_4127_944c_d9a2c46031ea { display: inline-block; padding: 10px 20px; background:#1E2A32; border-radius: 20px; box-shadow:none; font-weight: 600; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; color: #FFFFFF; border:none; cursor: pointer; transition: background .2s ease; } #bokun_cdfa4be6_9c8b_4127_944c_d9a2c46031ea:hover{ background:#B8956A; } #bokun_cdfa4be6_9c8b_4127_944c_d9a2c46031ea:active{ background:#1B3A4B; } <\/style> <button class=\"bokunButton\" disabled=\"\" id=\"bokun_cdfa4be6_9c8b_4127_944c_d9a2c46031ea\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.bokun.io\/online-sales\/c17d79d4-81b1-4347-91aa-845d65c8aa1e\/experience-calendar\/758856?partialView=1\" data-testid=\"widget-book-button\"> Book now <\/button>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"lce-write\">Questions?
