From Milan: Lake Como Tour with Cruise, Bellagio & Varenna

Discover the best of Como, Bellagio, and Varenna in one-day trip.
Start your day with a comfortable bus ride on this full-day Lake Como tour from Milan. During the journey, your guide will introduce the main highlights and outline the day's program. Before arriving in Como, your first stop will be at the neoclassical Villa Olmo, one of the lake's most elegant villas, surrounded by magnificent Italian gardens.
Enjoy a relaxing walk along the panoramic lakeside promenade to reach Como's historic city center (about 20 minutes on foot, or by bus if you prefer). Your guide will take you on a walking tour of the old town, including the Duomo, the Broletto, and the Church of San Fedele. Afterward, enjoy free time for shopping or to savor an authentic Italian espresso.
Board a local boat to Bellagio for a scenic Lake Como cruise, enjoying the magical atmosphere of the lake framed by majestic mountains. Relax, sunbathe, enjoy a drink at the onboard bar-restaurant, and take stunning photos of iconic villas such as Villa d'Este, Villa del Balbianello, and Villa Carlotta.
Once in Bellagio, the “pearl of Lake Como,” your guide will lead you through its lively narrow streets, artisan workshops, and charming hidden corners. Then, with a short ferry ride, reach Varenna, one of the most enchanting and picturesque villages on Lake Como. After a guided tour, enjoy some leisure time for a classic Italian aperitivo or an artisanal gelato.
The best part? You can explore Varenna at your own pace. Your train ticket is open-ended, meaning you can return with the guide at 6:30 PM or choose any later train. Departures to Milan Central Station run hourly until 10:30 PM.
