Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Varenna, Varenna, Lake Como, Lombardy

Lake Como is a treasure of nature, wonderful landscapes and culture. Charming towns and superb villas, with gardens decorated with marble statues and exotic plants will surprise you. In the morning depart from Milan with your professional guide by train and in just 1 hour you will reach the charming Varenna, an attractive village on the eastern shore of Lake Como, looking over the central part of the lake towards Bellagio. Varenna's picturesque lanes and old fishermen's houses are unpretentiously appealing, and some visitors prefer the town to its grander neighbors.



Duration: 4 hours

Stop At: Bellagio, Bellagio, Lake Como, Lombardy

From Varenna you will experience a boat-cruise to Bellagio situated upon the cape of the land mass that divides Lake Como in two. Called the “Pearl of the Lake”, Bellagio's world class hotels and restaurants provide the perfect place to soak up the lake's famous panorama. Here you will have time for free lunch and shopping. 



Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Villa Carlotta, Via Regina 2, 22016, Tremezzina Italy

After lunch your tour continues to Tremezzo and Villa Carlotta; the transfer will give you the chance to relax in the afternoon admiring the spectacular mountains and the stunning villas, once the homes of aristocrats, now the playgrounds for the jet set. Villa Carlotta is a place of rare beauty, where masterpieces of nature and art live together in perfect harmony in over 70.000 square meters of gardens and museum. It offers an elegant Neoclassical interior with a sculpture gallery which includes works by Antonio Canova, but the extensive and impeccably manicured gardens which sprawl in both directions from the villa will truly take your breath away. 

After the visit your guide will escort you back to Varenna and from there you will get the train to Milan.

If you don’t have a lot of experience in trains, busses, boats this was so ideal. He met us at a pre designated spot at the train station led us into the train,, narrated along the way. Took us to Villa Carlotta, the beautiful gardens, Bellagio and Varenna. All very beautiful. You might wish for a little longer free time in Bellagio or Varenna but then you’d miss the Villa. We thought it was great! Lots of stairs everywhere.. but you can stay on the lower lake view level at a cafe if mobility is a problem. Basically you leave Milan train station about 8:20 and get back home 5:30 ish. It’s a great tour! Highly recommend

We enjoyed our 10 hour tour of Lake Como from pick-up to drop off at Milano Centrale. Emilio has a detailed knowledge of the area and its sites, and a passion for his job. The itinerary is well-organized and includes some free time for wandering and shopping. We particularly enjoyed Varenna and were very happy we took Emilio up on his offer to lead us up the hill on a guided tour of two older churches. Some downsides: a couple of the ferry rides were VERY crowded (uncomfortable like a NY subway) and the price is high especially considering that gratuities were not included.

Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable. I particularly liked the size of our tour - 7 people - so it was easy to manage. Very enjoyable day
