Embark on an unforgettable 10-hour adventure to Italy's crown jewel, Lake Como, in an intimate group setting of no more than 12 travelers. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, bypass the crowds and chaos, and instead, savor the best of this breathtaking lake. Choose from two convenient meeting points, either near Piazza Duomo or Central Station in Milan, where you'll meet your guide and start your journey. A swift 50-minute train ride will transport you to the banks of Lake Como. Get ready to be mesmerized by the stunning vistas on a relaxing ferry cruise. As you glide across the lake's serene waters, take in the majestic scenery and immerse yourself in the allure of the "golden triangle," famous for its opulent villas and picturesque villages, including Bellagio and Varenna. Treat yourself to a leisurely stroll through quaint boutiques showcasing local artisans and indulge in authentic Italian cuisine at a lakeside eatery. Your guide will recommend a few exceptional restaurants with breathtaking lake views, where you can savor lunch in the charming town of Bellagio. Throughout the day, explore the lake's hidden gems, including Bellagio and Varenna, accompanied by your guide. Marvel at the cobblestone roads, meticulously landscaped gardens, and historic villas, all while taking in the sweeping panoramic views. As the day draws to a close, board the express train back to Milan with your guide, arriving at Central Station around 18:30. During the winter months (November to February), experience the thrill of a funicular cableway ride to Brunate hill, while in high season (mid-March to November), enjoy more leisure time and a guided walk in Bellagio and Varenna, where you can soak up the beauty of these enchanting towns.
