A 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!
Getting 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 (on your own expenses, average € 30 per person) 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.

OUTSTANDING!!!! This turned out to be a full service tour for us. Luca had someone standing by at our train station in Milan who not only helped us get on the correct train, but also boarded with us to keep us company until just before the train left. She even had us take a picture of the upcoming list of stations to be sure we would exit the train at the proper stop. Once arriving at our designated stop, Luca was right there at the door to our train car to be sure we didn't go astray. My wife and I ended up being the only ones on this tour so our "small group" became a private tour. Luca drove us all around Lake Como and the surrounding areas allowing us walk around and enjoy the various stops. BY FAR this was one of the best, if not THE best, tour we have ever been on!!! The Lake views are extraordinary and the service by Luca just as good. We will most definitely book more tours with Luca in the future when we are back in this part of Italy. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!!! Thanks for a great day, Luca!! We really had a great time!!

We booked for a small group tour but were very fortunate that it ended up as a private tour for our family of four. Luca was an amazing guide! His vehicle is spacious, clean and comfortable. The tour was well planned and we enjoyed ourselves especially our kids. The views are amazing and he knows all the great spots for beautiful photos. You don’t feel rushed, sufficient time in every location stop. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Highly recommended! We hope to be back again.

It is a relaxing visit to a small town on Lake Como. The guide is pleasant and her native perspective adds to the experience.
