      Honestly… One of the best compliments I could ever receive!! I mean, truthfully I’d love to be an influencer, but one that actually is real, authentic and provides value to my audience. I’ve got an Italian trip booked for June for Lake Garda, Dolomites, and Biarritz France if you want to follow my adventures I’d love to have you along for the journey! Hope I can provide more fun useful videos in the future! ✌️

    Fantastic video! Staying in Bellagio also at an Airbnb the last week of May, approx 2 miles from the town center. How was the water and temps in May when you were there? We have a pool and I want to take advantage of it and also definitely do this boat tour! Just hoping that last week of May isn’t too cool.

    • @JacksonMeyer
      @JacksonMeyer  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh that’s amazing! I love staying in Bellagio and outside of the city center is perfect, although 2 miles outside is more than I’ve stayed, they got decent buses. DEFINITELY Do the boat tour and please mention it hat you saw this video :) they were great and it was a really fun and worthwhile adventure. Temperatures were fine, no exactly a swimming lake per-se, there are not too many beaches or swimming areas, but you’ll see some people. Have a blast and definitely adventure to other villages besides the main 3 at the center of the lake

    We went in 2018 and stayed in Varenna which is prettier and quieter. We ate at the same restaurant Albergo in Varenna and enjoyed the seafood marinara?. If you do go again, try to hike up Castello de Vezio. Really beautiful, awespme breathtaking views of Lake Como. We did not visit the Monasterio as the views are pretty similar. You do not need to buy the entire mid lake tickets (more costly) if you are only visiting one or two towns along the lake. Just buy single tickets. We got off at Lenno and took the private boat (Euro5) to the Villa del Balbianello and then walked back to Lenno for our ferry ride back. People don't realise how easy it is to go from Milan to Varenna. Cost around Euro6. BTW, there is a very good pizza take away in Belagio. Very fast service with many choices and very cheap as well. Pity we only ate once only!

      @@JacksonMeyer Turin is an amazing city, lots of things to be seen: royal residences, palaces and castles. It has been the first Italian capital following the country (Italy) unification in 1861. There you can also visit the second biggest Egyptian museum of the world, the national cinema museum (the tallest museum of the world)... Beautiful architecture.... South of Turin the "Langhe and Monferrato" area offers breathtaking landscapes (better than Tuscany in my opinion), and food and beverage excellence. What to skip? Maybe smaller towns like Novara or Vercelli....See also the Aosta Valley...
