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.

5.00Luca was amazing! He maximized our time in Lake Como to take us to all the best spots. Was so friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time with him so much. He even checked on us later that night as the train didn’t give definitive language on if it made it in. If you want an incredible tour with an amazing person, this is the tour for you!
Luca was the best!!

5.00It was very unfortunate that we had a very rainy day in Lake Como. Nonetheless, Luca made this trip memorable. Instructions were very clear from Milan to Como, and he was very easy to communicate with. Luca was very accommodating and very helpful. He had this friendly energy in him, and he was just comfortable to be around with. We went to a lot of places despite the heavy rain. If I would ever go back to Lake Como, I wouldn’t hesitate to book a tour with Luca again!
You must do this tour with Luca!

5.00We had the best experience with Luca and his lovely team. Extremely nice, cooperative and went with the flow. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We certainly will use your services again when in Italy! Giulia was our guide and we could not have found a better , caring and extremely knowledgeable guide as she grew up in the Como lake area. Highly recommended!
Wonderful tour and guide!

5.00Luca made the whole experience feel very customized. The van was clean and comfortable. Luca is an excellent driver as well, on the windy roads it was very comfortable. The lunch stop was off the beaten path and perfect. Every stop had enough time to immerse in the area. I could not recommend this tour more. Grazie Luca!
10 out of 10

5.00Luca made our Lake Como Tour Day a 10 out of 10. He was so knowledgeable about the area . Took us to many unplanned little stops based on our personal interests. His recommendations for restaurants and coffee spots along the way were spot on. My husband and I highly recommend spending a day with Luca.
An absolute must-do!

5.00We (a group of three) booked a one-day private Lake Como tour with Luca and had an incredible time—rainy weather and all! Luca is extremely knowledgeable about the area and took us to a variety of scenic spots, highlighting the best routes for sightseeing, dining, and shopping. It ended up being the highlight of our entire trip. Luca was more than just a tour guide—he truly felt like a dear friend in Italy. He spoke excellent English, was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs. Thanks to him, we captured some of the most stunning photographs in locations we never would have found on our own. At the end of the day, he even personally dropped us off at the train station and waited to ensure we boarded the correct train before saying goodbye. I frequently book private tours when traveling in Europe, and this experience with Luca ranks among the very best. If we ever return to Milan or the Como area, I would absolutely book another tour with Luca and his team!
Fantastic Time in Lake Como!

5.00My husband and I were most fortunate to find Luca via Trip Advisor. He coordinated with us to design three days of private tours: one in Lecco, one in and around Varenna, and one in the Valtellina region. Not only did we see top sites, but Luca was flexible in creating itineraries that included more "off the beaten track" we were interested in seeing. He was a pleasure to be with on our long day experiences and very conscientious. We would highly recommend Luca and his tour company.
