Private tour departing from Milan Central station for the transfer, usually by train, to Lake Como for a short walk in the charming village of Varenna and adjacent area. Afterwards we experience a 15 minutes public ferry boat cruise for another perspective of this landscapes beauty!
Back in our minivan we drive along a panoramic section of the lake shore with spectacular view heading toward a restaurant possibly where they serve some local dishes: lake fish and/or cheese sauced buckweath pasta, venison and cured meat etc (on your own expenses, average € 30/35 per person) and after that we explore the nearby off-the-beaten-path region nestled in the breathtaking Alps mountains where sometimes we do a short visit of a small local farmer or producer (on your own expenses, average € 20 per person).
Finally we either take the train or minibus for the return to Milan Central station.
