1hA very Small-Group tour departing from Milan Central station for the transfer, either by train or by minibus, to Lake Como where we take 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 heading first to Bellagio, the "pearl of the Lake" and then to Menaggio (free time for lunch, at your own expense)!
Getting back in our minivan we drive along a panoramic section of the lake shore with spectacular view and after that we explore the nearby off-the-beaten-path region nestled in the breathtaking Alps mountains where sometimes we are able to do a short visit of a small local farmer or producer.
Finally we will drive along another section of the Lake and at some point we take the train for the return to Milan Central station.
