Discover picturesque Lake Como with its lush greenery and lakeside historic villages framed by the backdrop of the Alps, on a day trip from Milan
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
At enchanting Lake Como, renowned for its dramatic scenery, idyllic gardens, and palatial villas, you’ll spend a glorious day living like the rich and famous. You could take the funicular railway up to hilltop Brunate for incredible lake views or stroll the romantic streets of Bellagio below balconies covered in bougainvillea, stopping at a local winery for a wine tasting. Admire the iconic Villa Carlotta across the lake before sailing to the tiny village of Varenna, where you could step into the medieval Church of Saint George, see the milky white water of the Fiumelatte (the shortest river in Italy), or relax on the terrace of Varenna’s best-loved aperitivo spot, for a refreshing spritz and Italian delicacies.

My tour guide was Reza, and he was absolutely amazing! Being on a solo trip in Italy for the first time, not speaking an ounce of Italian, I knew I may face a couple of challenges. So when it came to touring Lake Como, I decided to book this private tour and happy I did. I couldn’t have expected the sheer amount of crowds and chaos that we would experience, and if I would have tried to maneuver through this alone, I most likely would have turned right around and left Como. Reza had the transportation hashed out from the train, to busses and a subway, he had chosen some great landmarks to go see, and was able to think quickly and provide new suggestions when we experienced roadblocks where tickets were sold out. He was energetic, knowledgeable, and fluent in English so it helped tremendously that he was able to communicate with me and the locals seamlessly. I’m so happy I went this route, I learned a ton about the city and landmarks along the way, and took a billion pictures to remember them all.

Show moreA great trip to Lake Como. Shan was an incredible guide. He contacted us several times prior to the trip to make sure he was providing us the best opportunities. He planned the trip in reverse to avoid the long lines for the boat trips. Great thinking, the tour was perfect. Shan is very knowledgeable and very accommodating. We would do this trip again with him as he knew were all the hidden gems were and we are sure there are more to see.
