A day on Lake Iseo instead of Como: a boat ride to Monte Isola and free time by the water, then a Franciacorta winery with two wines tasted, in private transport from Milan. Lunch and gratuities are extra, and if the lake cannot be sailed the boat is replaced by free time in Brescia. 4.84 from 62 reviews at €179 per person.
Discover the authentic charm of Lombardy with a tour that blends nature and flavor. Start your day exploring the enchanting Lake Iseo, a hidden gem nestled between mountains and picturesque villages like Iseo.
