Awesome day at Como!

This was an amazing day on Lake Como! We started with a bus ride, which itself was great because the views on the way to Como were stunning. Then we had a tour of Como with a lovely and friendly guide and had some free time to shop for local food. The cruise on Lake Como was the best part, and visiting another little town on the lake was the icing on the cake. All in all, it was a great tour with a passionate guide, so I highly recommend it!!!

Brenda
Beautiful views, an interesting guide, and a well-organized tour

Lake Como is so beautiful you can just walk around and enjoy your time, but a walking tour in Como with our guide was a great way to learn more about Italy. She recommended a few places to us because we wanted to try some fresh, local food. The cruise was super relaxing, with great views again. I loved seeing all the villas on the lake, and I would love to be back!

DESCRIPTION

Milan to Lake Como Day Trip

TRAVEL IN COMFORT TO LAKE COMO

Start your day trip to Lake Como on a luxury bus and travel in comfort with an expert guide who shares interesting stories about the region and Italian culture along the way. Choosing an organized day trip with a guide is one of the easiest ways to enjoy Lake Como, as you won’t need to worry about bus schedules, driving, or finding your way around the lake. Your first stop is Como town, where you can explore the historic city center with insights from your guide. Headphones are provided so you can hear the explanations clearly. Enjoy free time to admire Italian architecture, browse local shops, or taste regional products such as wine, cheese, or olive oil. You can ask your guide for recommendations to save time, or simply stroll along the lakeside and enjoy the stunning natural scenery.

ALONG LAKE COMO'S MOST FAMOUS VILLAS

The Roman poet Virgil said that Lake Como is ‘our greatest lake.’ After seeing photos of Lake Como come to life before you, enjoy scenic views on the way to Villa Olmo, the most breathtaking villa on Lake Como. It is a neoclassical villa and features a large park. The central building is used for exhibitions. You will pass Villa d’Este, another huge, impressive building. It was the residence of princesses, tsars, and sultans and is now a resort.

PRIVATE CRUISE ON LAKE COMO & VISIT TO BELLAGIO

The Milan to Lake Como Day Trip includes a cruise on the lake, which offers the best views possible - right from the water! You will be on a private boat, so this is the perfect opportunity to relax. Feel the boat gently rocking as you breathe in the fresh lake air. Your cruise will take you to Bellagio, the “Pearl of Lake Como.” Enjoy some free time in Bellagio - find a charming Italian cafe and have an espresso or a fine meal at a restaurant. There are many shops selling local food, perfume and clothing. Another great idea is simply to walk around its narrow streets and look out at the lake. You will return in your private boat.

FAQ - Milan to Lake Como Day Trip

What does the Milan to Lake Como Day Trip include?

Your day trip includes a 1-hour cruise on Lake Como in a private boat, transportation to Como in a luxury bus, a visit to Bellagio on the shores of the lake, and an expert guide who will accompany you and give you a walking tour in Como. You will get headphones so that you can hear them better. There will be a photo stop at Villa Olmo and free time in Como and Bellagio, so you can explore and shop at your own pace.

What is the best time to visit Como?

The best time for water activities is from June to September. For those that wish to avoid large crowds, skip July and August, as they are the busiest months to visit. Travelers looking to spend less can plan a trip between November and March, when prices are often lower — except during the Christmas period. This timing also correlates with the best time to visit Milan, since both destinations share similar seasons for pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and a more relaxed experience.

What happens in case my plans change and I need to cancel my trip?

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before your day trip to Lake Como starts. You can also make a reservation and pay at a later date.

What else should I book while I’m in Milan?

Book the Duomo Tour Milan to see the city’s cathedral and learn about its history with an expert guide. See the city on the Milan Walking Tour or check out the Hop-On Hop-Off Milan Bus Tour for a convenient way to explore. It’s also a good idea to plan ahead and book your Milan tours and Milan attraction tickets in advance, so you can enjoy a stress-free visit. Popular choices include Pinacoteca Ambrosiana tickets, Leonardo da Vinci Museum Milan tickets, and Sforza Castle Milan tickets.
