Comfortable shoes are essential for walking on cobblestone streets, and dressing in layers is recommended since temperatures can vary between Milan and the lakeside towns. Carry a shawl or scarf to ensure your knees and shoulders are covered when entering religious institutions.
Swimming in Lake Como can be risky because of the temperature and undercurrents. The water is usually colder than the sea, and it can be difficult to stay afloat in some areas. You should avoid swimming near ferry docks and in areas close to purification plant outlets. However, there are many beaches and lidos (beach clubs) where you can swim, including public beaches and those with pools. Some are free, while others have an entry fee.
Unfortunately, arriving at the meeting point after the departure timing would mean you forfeit your spot on the tour. Plan to reach 15 minutes early to ensure a smooth start to your trip.
While the town of Como has more accessible paths, Bellagio and Torno have steep, cobbled streets that can be challenging.
During the peak seasons between May to September, it is recommended to book all your arrangements at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance.
