From Milan: Lake Como Private Day Trip

Uncover the breathtaking allure of Lake Como on a bespoke day excursion, setting off conveniently from Milan. Immerse yourself in the grandeur of elegant villas and the charm of idyllic lakeside towns like the legendary Bellagio and peaceful Varenna. A delightful ferry journey provides the perfect vantage point to capture truly stunning photographs of the dramatic scenery unfolding from the water.

Ciao from Milan! Get ready for a day of pure Italian magic as we whisk you away from your hotel in a comfy Mercedes. Our private driver will navigate the scenic route to Lake Como, where breathtaking views await around every bend. Our first stop? The dazzling Villa Balbianello! You'll have time to explore this gem at your own pace. Fun fact: its stunning lakeside setting has made it a star, featuring in *Star Wars: Episode 2* and *Casino Royale*! Just a heads-up, it's closed Mondays and Wednesdays. But don't worry, if Villa Balbianello is closed, we have a delightful alternative: the equally gorgeous Villa Carlotta (or Villa Melzi), nestled on the waterfront and surrounded by vibrant botanical gardens. Next, it's "all aboard" for a scenic ferry ride to Bellagio! This 20-minute cruise is a treat in itself, offering incredible photo ops of the lake's stunning scenery. Your driver will handle the schedule and tickets – all included in the tour price. Bellagio, the "Pearl of Lake Como," awaits! Explore this charming town, soak in the atmosphere, and find the perfect spot for lunch. (Lunch isn't included, but we're happy to recommend some fantastic restaurants and even book a table for you). Feeling adventurous? You can extend your tour (at an extra cost) to the captivating town of Varenna. Wander through its picturesque center and perhaps even visit Villa Monastero, another of Lake Como's hidden treasures. Finally, after a day filled with beauty and wonder, your driver will be waiting to take you back to your Milan hotel, filled with memories of your unforgettable Lake Como escape. A little extra tip for Villa Balbianello: While exploring the beautiful gardens is included, if you'd love to peek inside the historic house, you'll need to pre-book a guided tour at an additional cost.
