15 tours · €68–€1039 per person · ★ 4.8
The 15 Lake Como day trips from Milan here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €68 per person for a coach day with free time in Bellagio to €1039 per person for a private day that adds the Bernina train. Most trips pair the express train or a minibus with a boat crossing between Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio, some cross into Switzerland for a stop in Lugano, and the small group versions cap the party at fifteen or fewer with reserved boat seats.
A quick way to choose: count the hours, because a Lake Como tour from Milan runs ten to thirteen hours door to door with the travel time inside, leaves early from the station or the Duomo and gets back after dark. Lunch is left out everywhere, the Swiss combos need an original passport or an EU identity card at the border, boats can be cancelled in bad weather, and a few small group trips set a minimum age and take no strollers. The best reviewed Lake Como day trips from Milan come first below.
