Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Varenna, Varenna, Lake Como, Lombardy
Lake Como is a treasure of nature, wonderful landscapes and culture. Charming towns and superb villas, with gardens decorated with marble statues and exotic plants will surprise you. In the morning depart from Milan with your professional guide by train and in just 1 hour you will reach the charming Varenna, an attractive village on the eastern shore of Lake Como, looking over the central part of the lake towards Bellagio. Varenna's picturesque lanes and old fishermen's houses are unpretentiously appealing, and some visitors prefer the town to its grander neighbors.
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Bellagio, Bellagio, Lake Como, Lombardy
From Varenna you will experience a boat-cruise to Bellagio situated upon the cape of the land mass that divides Lake Como in two. Called the “Pearl of the Lake”, Bellagio's world class hotels and restaurants provide the perfect place to soak up the lake's famous panorama. Here you will have time for free lunch and shopping.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Villa Carlotta, Via Regina 2, 22016, Tremezzina Italy
After lunch your tour continues to Tremezzo and Villa Carlotta; the transfer will give you the chance to relax in the afternoon admiring the spectacular mountains and the stunning villas, once the homes of aristocrats, now the playgrounds for the jet set. Villa Carlotta is a place of rare beauty, where masterpieces of nature and art live together in perfect harmony in over 70.000 square meters of gardens and museum. It offers an elegant Neoclassical interior with a sculpture gallery which includes works by Antonio Canova, but the extensive and impeccably manicured gardens which sprawl in both directions from the villa will truly take your breath away.
After the visit your guide will escort you back to Varenna and from there you will get the train to Milan.

Despite rainy weather, our tour was excellent and gave us a nice glimpse of Lake Como and Vareena and Belagio. Our guide Renzo was excellent, very informative and interesting, friendly, and very helpful. We would definitely recommend him, he took great care that we enjoyed our visit, provided excellent advice for places to eat.

If you don’t have a lot of experience in trains, busses, boats this was so ideal. He met us at a pre designated spot at the train station led us into the train,, narrated along the way. Took us to Villa Carlotta, the beautiful gardens, Bellagio and Varenna. All very beautiful. You might wish for a little longer free time in Bellagio or Varenna but then you’d miss the Villa. We thought it was great! Lots of stairs everywhere.. but you can stay on the lower lake view level at a cafe if mobility is a problem. Basically you leave Milan train station about 8:20 and get back home 5:30 ish. It’s a great tour! Highly recommend

We enjoyed our 10 hour tour of Lake Como from pick-up to drop off at Milano Centrale. Emilio has a detailed knowledge of the area and its sites, and a passion for his job. The itinerary is well-organized and includes some free time for wandering and shopping. We particularly enjoyed Varenna and were very happy we took Emilio up on his offer to lead us up the hill on a guided tour of two older churches. Some downsides: a couple of the ferry rides were VERY crowded (uncomfortable like a NY subway) and the price is high especially considering that gratuities were not included.

Our guide was Emilio and as my friend and I were the only ones who signed up for the tour, it ended up becoming a private tour for the two of us by default. Emilio was absolutely fantastic and Villa Carlotta was beautiful and full of interesting art. However, for me, the best part was the gardens. We had a rainy day but Emilio still made it fun. He also had an excellent suggestion for lunch.

Our tour guide Emilio was wonderful. He was well organized, and the pace of visiting the different islands was well done. He was very kind and patient. My husband and I ended up being the only people on the tour and yet he still took us out.! The train ride from Malon to Varena went smoothly. The visit to Villa Carlotta was beautiful. Villagio is also very beautiful. We had a very nice lunch there. Was not much time to shop, but we got to see everything. Would definitely go again. Thank you so much, Emilio.
