What you can expect

Enjoy an unforgettable experience on Lake Maggiore, combining elegance, freedom, and breathtaking views in a single excursion by lake.

The tour starts from Lesa with a pleasant scenic cruise to Stresa, one of the most iconic and beloved locations on the lake. Upon arrival, you'll have free time to discover Stresa on your own: stroll along its elegant lakefront, admire the flower gardens, and visit the renowned city market.

From Stresa, the heart of the experience begins: you can use the hop-on hop-off service to visit the famous Borromean Islands in total freedom. Boats run every 30 minutes to all the islands, so you can organise your day at your own pace, without stress and without rigid schedules.

You can hop on and off as you like to visit Isola Bella, famous for its sumptuous Baroque palace and magnificent terraced gardens overlooking the lake, and Isola dei Pescatori, an authentic lakeside village where time seems to stand still, with its narrow alleys, colourful houses, and typical restaurants. Then there's Isola Madre, the largest of the archipelago, famous for its extraordinary English-style botanical garden, full of exotic plants, rare blooms, and free-roaming peacocks.

The boat ride itself becomes part of the journey: every trip offers continuous views of historic villas, mountains reflected in the water, and some of the most photographed views of Lake Maggiore.

In the afternoon, after exploring the islands at your own pace, you'll head back from Stresa to Lesa at 4:30 p.m., to end the day in total relaxation, taking with you authentic memories and emotions.

A perfect excursion for those who want to discover the Borromean Islands without rushing, moving comfortably by lake and experiencing Lake Maggiore in its most elegant and fascinating side.
