A small group Lake Como day planned around ferry timings, with first class trains from Milan, skip the line boat entry, Como in the morning and Bellagio before Varenna, all with one guide. Lunch and drinks are your own, hotel pickup is not offered, and the group stays capped at fifteen. 4.77 from 79 reviews at €109 per person.
Lake Como is one of Italy’s most beautiful corners — but in summer, the wrong timing can mean hours lost in ferry queues.
This small-group tour, limited to 15 guests, is planned by a guide who knows exactly when and where the crowds hit. You’ll reach Como in the morning, then explore Bellagio before continuing to Varenna. It’s the classic Lake Como day trip from Milan, with the timing planned to make the most of your day.
On the cruise from Como to Bellagio, you’ll see famous villas from the water — George Clooney’s home, Versace’s villa, Villa Passalacqua, voted the world’s best hotel, and filming locations from *House of Gucci*, *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, *James Bond* and *Star Wars*. Your guide will share the stories behind them.
In Bellagio, you can also visit Villa Melzi, one of the lake’s most spectacular gardens. Entrance is not included and the visit is optional.
Your train tickets and skip-the-line ferry boarding are arranged for you.
