wonderful trip to Lake Como
My daughter and I had a wonderful time on this one day tour of Lake Como. The group size was perfect (less than 15).I really enjoyed taking the train and ferries. Our guide, Andy, was fantastic. He met us in front of the Centrale train station and led us to our seats on the first class section of the train. From there we took an approximately one hour train ride to a very pretty (and bustling with tourists) town on Lake Como. The views were spectacular and we had plenty of time to ourselves. We then took a ferry to another town that was also very busy. From there we took another faster boat to a quieter town on the lake. After that we took the train back to Milan. I liked that Andy gave us excellent suggestions where to eat and options regarding what to do in each town. He then went to stand in line to get our tickets for the next leg of our journey while we headed out to explore. I loved having the option to climb many steps and walk to different parts of each town, or to rest and have some food at a restaurant. I loved this tour and highly recommend it. Thank you Andy for a wonderful day!

A beautiful visit to the...
A beautiful visit to the villa gardens. It is quite a walk (with some inclines) to actually reach the villa. I would definitely recommend tennis shoes.
The stop in Bellagio was just long enough for lunch and a little shopping. Ferry tickets were included and we got to be the first in line. Our host (she went by V) was very knowledgeable and fun to be around!

Definitely book!
I was nervous booking a solo wine tasting in Como, but I could not have had a better time! The experience was incredible and I got to meet the owner’s son and spend time tasting some of the selection they were deciding whether to sell in their store. The wines were amazing and the staff knowledgeable about the selection and very kind to me overall. It was the highlight of my holiday in Como! I will definitely be coming back.

Amazing Trip on Lake Como! ⛵️
This sailing trip exceeded my expectations! We knew we would be viewing the spectacular beauty of Lake Como, but what I didn’t expect was the history lessen regarding the prominent villas on the shores of the lake!
We not only learned who owned them currently or who previously owned them, but how some of them are still owned by the same families over the centuries. We also learned about 2 different villas that were used in films like Star Wars, The Devil Wears Prada and a James Bond Film! We were able to swim as well, which was refreshing due to the heat. We did sit in the shade throughout our trip, so we weren’t in the blistering sun during our ride. There, unfortunately wasn’t enough wind to open the sails, but that really wasn’t an issue. We were served beverages and small bite sandwiches for our trip, but eat prior or bring enough to eat for a 3 hour tour.
We were pleased with our skipper Giacamo, from Florence, was amazing and an incredible historian of Lake Como!
We highly recommend this trip, and Cristina was also very communicative leading up to our trip. 100% worth every penny we spent!

The meeting place can be...
The meeting place can be hectic, with numerous buses leaving at the same time. Arrive early and make sure you know the name of the tour provider. The actual tour is great, the guide and driver were excellent. The city of Como is a delight, and the boat ride on Lake Como is a "must do."

Authentic Italian cooking in welcoming home.
What a gracious, detail-oriented, fun and delicious experience. We truly enjoyed being welcome to Marharita’s home and learning from her family’s legacy of authentic Italian cooking. We made pasta, meatballs and tiramisu from scratch and had wonderful time getting to know each other! Multa Benne! Thank you!

Awesome master cooking class!!!
Beatrice was wonderful!!!! This was a great and fun class where we made ravioli and tagliatelle. I have never tasted better pasta and I will never buy pasta in a box again! Beatrice was a great teacher guiding us in all the recipes and techniques to make these wonderful dishes. She also shared her homemade tiramisu and gelato that was molto delizioso!!! I highly recommend this for anyone that loves to cook.

Excellent Day Trip from Milano to Lake Como!
Very well organized, full-day trip from Milano to Lake Como. The communication with the tour operator was excellent prior to the tour and all instructions were very clear. Bus was clean and comfortable, and our guide, Chiara was excellent. She explained all of the meeting points and times clearly and did a great job of narrating the tour in both English and Spanish.
The trip from Milano to the lake is only about one hour, followed by 90 minutes of time to explore the town of Como. Traveler tip: free bathroom in MacDonalds on the 2nd floor! After that, its a 2 hour boat ride to Bellagio, making stops along the way and seeing all of the picturesque towns on both sides of the lake. Another 2 hour stop in Bellagio, which is very beautiful. We opted to eat lunch in a restaurant, which was excellent (La Dolce Vita), but then we had less time to explore the town. If you can bring some food or grab a snack on the boat ride, you will maximize your time exploring Bellagio. Another 15 minute boat ride across to Mennagio to get back on the bus to Milan, which was about 2 hours. All in all, if you've only got one day to see Lake Como, I'd say this is a great tour option to maximize your time.

Tour + Free time = Perfection
Perfect tour! Andy handled all the logistics and we just got to enjoy the beautiful cities of Como and Lugano. Andy went the extra mile to make sure we were informed of a train departure time change. This tour is a great combination of guided tour and free time to explore! Highly recommend!

A very passionate lady giving the tour and explanation on the winery and tasting. All very well arranged, explained and super friendly daughter of the house managing this. Very much a recommended tour and visit worthwhile with nice wine and some food.

A lovely way to see the lake
What a lovely way to enjoy the morning! Wear flip flops or barefoot is good too! Mich, was lovely and very informative. The lake is beautiful from the kayak. It was not too challenging we were in a double so my hubby did the heavy lifting but it was all good!

Spectacular hospitality!
Perfect evening! Anna was a very friendly and welcoming host! She welcomed us with a nice selection of apéritives and wine and made us feel right at home. The pasta and tiramisu making process was really fun and we look forward to making them back at home! Everything was excellent and the food was so yummy! We definitely recommend it!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Thanks to its nature, cuisine, and culture, you could easily spend a whole vacation in Lake Como. But the larger lake town of Como also works well as a jumping-off point for forays further afield. Lake Como day trips go from Como to Bellagio and beyond. You can visit a Domaso winery, or see two countries (and two lakes) in one day on a trip to Lugano in Switzerland. Day trips on the Bernina Express to St. Moritz from Como are also popular.
