Guidekin's take

A small group Lake Como day by first class express train from Milan, with the boat between Varenna, Bellagio and Bellano and a walk into the Bellano gorge that coach tours skip.

Free time and lunch in Bellagio are your own, the day includes stairs and moderate walking, and travel time counts toward the duration. 4.94 from 865 reviews at €119 per person.

In our comparison: #7 of 67 in Boat Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
