    Marvel at the stunning mountain scenery around Lake Como on a guided day tour from Milan. Marvel at the Mediterranean and Alpine scenery on a summer boat cruise to Bellagio Island and Varenna, or ride the steep cogwheel line to the mountainside town of Brunate in winter.

    Begin your journey by bus and travel directly from Milan to Como. Join your guide on a walking tour to discover Como Cathedral and other historical gems. In summer, hop on a ferry along the lake and listen to a live commentary highlighting top villas, gardens, and other sites.

    Disembark at Bellagio, regarded as one of the most beautiful and idyllic towns in the region, and enjoy 2 hours of free time. Relax and savor a regional meal at one of the local restaurants.

    Board another ferry to the colorful Varenna. Stroll through the cobblestone corridors of this picturesque village and feel the charm of its tranquil streets.

    Finally, board your bus back to Milan where you can sit back and take advantage of the onboard Wi-Fi to share your photos of the day’s unforgettable memories.

    Our tour guide was the best, it felt like a VIP tour since we choose language Spanish and my partner and I were the only ones. Very normal pace and got to discover the beautiful views and history of Lake Como. Definitely recommend and will go again when we get the chance to visit.

    Was a great experience, our tour guide was very nice. I really enjoyed the visit to the Islands. But my favorite one was Varenna. I recommend this activity for couples, families or friends. You'll enjoy a lot, as I did with my special one. The only thing I'll recommend is to improve the audio equipment, that was a bit hard to heard the explanation, while you are walking, but apart of that everything was nice, and times are ok between each stop. Plus the scenery worth every minute, is so pretty! Definitely and activity to try!

    Relaxing tour mostly at your own pace and plenty of time to look around lovely places and villages. The baot trip is very enjoyble. The tour guide should not bother talking on the boat even when on the same deck he was impossible to hear or understand.
