This 10.5-hour small-group tour departs from Milan Central station by local train or minibus to Lake Como. The tour begins with a one-hour visit to the village of Varenna, including a short walk around the town and its surroundings. Next, there is a 15-minute public ferry boat ride from Varenna to Bellagio. Participants spend about 75 minutes exploring Bellagio, known as the "pearl of the Lake." Afterward, there is another 15-minute ferry boat ride from Bellagio to Menaggio. In Menaggio, there is free time of approximately 110 minutes for lunch and a short walk, both at the participant's own expense. Following lunch, the group travels by minivan along a 45-minute scenic stretch of Lake Como’s shoreline, with a brief stop for views. The tour then continues with a 30-minute detour to the nearby Valtelline Valley in the Alps. If available, there is a 45-minute visit to a local farmer or cheese shop in this area. The return journey includes a 30-minute drive along another part of Lake Como’s shore before taking a local train back to Milan Central station, which takes about one hour. Transportation throughout the tour is by small bus, train, and public ferry boats. The group size is limited to a maximum of 15 people. An English-speaking guide accompanies the group for the entire day. Participants should be in good physical condition as the tour involves walking and some stairs. Lunch is not included and is at the participant’s own expense.
