Small-Group Lake Como Experience with boat and van, from Milan
Description
A very Small-Group tour departing from Milan Central station for the transfer, either by train or by minibus, to Lake Como where we take a short walk in the charming village of Varenna and adjacent area. Afterwards we experience a 15 minutes public ferry boat cruise for another perspective of this landscapes beauty heading first to Bellagio, the "pearl of the Lake" and then to Menaggio (free time for lunch, at your own expense)! Getting back in our minivan we drive along a panoramic section of the lake shore with spectacular view and after that we explore the nearby off-the-beaten-path region nestled in the breathtaking Alps mountains where sometimes we are able to do a short visit of a small local farmer or producer. Finally we will drive along another section of the Lake and at some point we take the train for the return to Milan Central station.

This was maybe the greatest experience that I’ve ever booked! From the moment we met at the train station it was a VIP experience that included so many hidden gems of Como and insider access and history. Luca is marvelous and knowledgeable and his love for showing his guests the gorgeous area really shows. We were able to see so much and it was so effortless (on my part) and the pace felt really comfortable. I will absolutely recommend this tour to anyone going to Lake Como!
Excellent, the tour guide was great and the tour was outstanding. You see a significant amount of the lake and visit several beautiful towns. The stop at the cheese shop was a bonus.
It was incredible to participate in the tour with Luca; he was always attentive to the whole group, knew a lot of information about the area, and made a perfect itinerary to explore all of Lake Como without rushing. We were able to visit the best tourist spots, as well as those secret places that only the locals know. It was truly an unforgettable experience that I will definitely recommend to everyone to do.
Luca is an amazing host.... It was as if I was meeting up with a good friend. The Lake Como trip was extremely well planned....I could not have asked for a better day! Highly, highly recommended!
This is a great tour of Lake Como if you only have one day from Milan to explore the area. Luca and his team were well organised and the day went smoothly. Luca guided us around, without waiting in long queues, suggested things to see in Varenna, Bellagio and Menaggio. He also took us to out of the way places that you would not find on your own. It's such a beautiful place so don't miss out on seeing it. I would highly recommend Luca and his team.
Such a wonderful day with Luca and Mari! If you are looking for a great lay of the land in Lake Como, this tour is for you. Lots of great stops. BEAUTIFUL locations, wonderful food. Not a ton of history given, but definitely worth your time if you want a day filled exploring.
Our experience with Luca was wonderful. The day of our excursion, there happened to be a rather impromptu train strike - Luca met us at our originally scheduled meeting point and drove us from Milan to (and all around) Lake Como, before driving us all the way back to Milan. The whole time he pointed out areas/items of interest, made jokes to keep the adventure light-hearted, and really seemed to care about providing us a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience. I HIGHLY recommend this single-day tour with Luca or a member of his team!!!
Martina was a wonderful guide on our trip to Lake Como area. Having a van allowed us to see many beautiful vistas of the lake. Loved that we were only 6 in our group. Don't hestitate to book this tour. Well worth it.
Luca is both knowledgeable and interesting with a great sense of humour we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend to others.
Very well organized tour. Luca (our guide) was very knowledgeable and funny. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Highly recommended.
