It's hard to find a boat or ferry to move around Lake Como during winter. This day tour provides the private ferry service to cater to winter season. My guide, Franco, was good in explaining the various attractions. It was an enjoyable trip cover Como, Bellagio & Varenna from 8.45am to 6.15pm.
I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was friendly and knowledge and the coach was comfortable and clean although the WiFi wasn’t working that day. The only thing I would change is to have a bit more time in Varenna so it is not as rushed and get back to Milan at the 11 hour mark. I highly recommend the tour. The boat rides on Lake Como were my favorite part.
Excellent tour guide; i.e., knowledgeable, helpful, extremely pleasant. Everything was on time. Comfortable transportation. The scenery both to and from and at our destinations was breathtaking. The historical centre of Como was a highlight of the trip. The boat ride provided beautiful views of the mountains and homes, plus it was a beautiful, warm October day. Ending our excursion in Varenna topped a fabulous tour!!
Absolutely fantastic. Worth every penny. Our tour guide Franco was very friendly and very knowledgeable. We also accidentally booked on the wrong day and asked to move to the correct day. The change was corrected without opposition but a €20 each penalty which we thought was fair. If you want to visit verenna, bellagio and como and see the sights along the lake then book this trip.
This trip was absolutely perfect for myself and my partner. Our guide Sonja was great and was really friendly. This tour is perfect if you want to experience each place and enjoy the free time. It’s convenient to get from place to place, learn about each place and you’re able to enjoy your time there away from being in a large group which you may usually experience on guided tours. Our guide would tell us all of the history of the places whilst we were being transported so that as soon as we were on land we were able to experience the places properly. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone as it gives you a real taste of the lake and areas. Our driver Luca was also great!
Great trip, excellent guide (experienced and very knowledgeable) and coach driver (especially around the narrow Italian roads!) - the day was well paced, with enough time in each location without feeling rushed. The boat cruise was nice and relaxing, with lots of interesting sights to see. My partner and I would definitely recommend this day trip out of Milan.
This trip was fantastic. Our guide, an older Italian gentleman, whom I cannot remember his name now, with a dry sense of humor that I appreciated, did a great job switching between English and Spanish throughout the day. Our driver, Lucca, was also terrific and I applaud his skill in maneuvering on some of the windy, narrow roads. Each town was unique and enjoyable to walk around and explore. Have a cappuccino and pastry in Como, lunch in Bellagio, and cafe & gelato in Varenna. Grazie mille for the tours and wonderful memories!
This is a perfect day trip. Straight to the point and deliver what we are here to experience: 3 unique small towns and a short sightseeing in boating trip. The weather was a bit gloomy and lots of rain, but otherwise it was short, sweet, and efficient. Our tour guide and driver were excellent. Small tips, don't forget to spare cash to tip the staffs (if you want). Digital tipping is not yet accepted.
This was a fantastic tour. The itinerary was excellent. We saw so much of Lake Como, more than anticipated. The stop in Como was wonderful because despite being fall/winter it was a lively place with lots of open stores. The drive around the lake was fantastic and filled with lots of informative details, including a view of George Clooney's house from the road! The boat ride was also awesome where we saw lots of famous and beautiful villas. Bellagio and Varenna were beautiful and worthy stops despite many stores being closed for the season. Claudia was an excellent tour guide who not only provided seamless sightseeing information for Lake Como in both English and Spanish, but also a lot of great information for Milan. Giorgio was a great driver and ensured we got to/from our destinations safely. This was a highlight of our time in Milan and Europe. Will definitely want to return to Lake Como for a longer trip thanks to this visit. Highly recommend!
Overall the tour is well planned and the guide with us was very helpful and informative. However, I wish there was more time to spend in Bellagio which was the best part of the tour. The tour was ruined due to heavy rain and mist which was understandably beyond the control of the tour operator.
The bus was very comfortable, and the drive was beautiful as well. I really liked Franco, our guide. He did a really good job of explaining everything in English and Spanish. Lake Como is a fantastic place, even in the winter(which is when I went), so must be best in the summer. Very picturesque. Food in Bellagio is excellent, albeit slightly expensive compared to what you get in Milan City. The trip was worth it, covering multiple locations.
Getting to see the entire area, several villages and touring the lake via water taxi was fantastic. Lunch in Bellagio was really nice. Our guide was super knowledgeable and did a great job. My only issue was the lack of places to have a "bio break". LOL
