The 15 Best Lake Como Day Trips from Milan

40 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.6 average  ·  from $78

Forty minutes on the train, then the lake does the work. These 15 day trips differ on which villages you actually land in, how long you get on the water, and whether the boat is shared or yours — the detail that decides the whole day.

There was free time at each place to explore, which was great. Amazing day trip! I would highly recommend it to all 😃”

“This entire trip from booking to completion was well organized, planned, guided. Considering the stops and places traversed, it was a smooth experience. Just prepare to take very quick restroom / other breaks and be back on track. Bus conductor was great. Our guide, Miss Claudia was exceptional (thank you). Professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Did the entire tour seamlessly in 2 different languages without skipping a beat. Luckily, my party was fluid in both. This experience and guide company is highly recommended.”

Lake Como and Bellagio day trip from Milan with a private boat cruise, villa views, and free time in Como and Bellagio.

“We enjoyed the trip to Lake Como, Bellagio and the town of Como. The trip was fast paced which was to be expected when covering so much ground in one day. But I was very disappointed with the tour itself. We booked an english tour but both guides on our trip gave the tour in english and spanish. Our guide was hard to hear and understand and he did not pause or transition between the languages well. I found it distracting and it did not add value to the tour. Several people in our group just shut off the headset out of fustration. I live in a community with both…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,019 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $101Top rated

First-class rail from Milan to Lake Como, a reserved boat cruise past film villas, plus guided time in Bellagio and Varenna.

“We had a great guide (Elma) who was knowledgeable, patient and very good at navigating the transport systems (train and ferry). Definite easier than going solo especially as tickets for ferry run out! The only problem was returning by train where we were in a crush and standing for over an hour after a full day due to a wine festival… arguably additional trains should have been put on. But it was great day overall.”

Well worth the price of the tour just for that. Wish we had more time to explore but the tour is long enough as is.”

“Excellent trip and the whole itinerary, guide somewhat chaotic, called me to confirm that I was arriving, and had to run to get on the bus. Very surprised to see me arrive... He said he had forgotten me. Later he did not notify the driver of the correct boarding point for the tour on the lake, and this was limited to being a direct crossing to Bellagio.”
