1.Lake Como & Bellagio DayTour with Private Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 2,830 reviews · from $111Our pick

Travel from Milan to Como, Varenna, and Bellagio with an English- or Spanish-speaking guide. Walk through Como, cruise Lake Como by private boat, then enjoy free time for lunch and wandering in Bellagio. Guides such as Monica, Anna, and Alessandro are praised for clear commentary and warm service.

“A very well organised tour and plenty of time allocated to wander around the towns we visited. The tour guide was informative and the audio guide headsets were ideal to hear the information provided. The private boat trip around Lake Como was stunning and we were lucky to have good sunny weather. Be aware that the return journey after a long day and an early start can be tiring but an excellent opportunity to grab some sleep.”

In the morning I was delayed a few minutes because I got confused with the subway, but the person in charge of telephone communications was very kind and told me the next stop where I could join the tour. The bus had perfect temperature and was clean. The boat was very good also, safe and big enought. Everything was good, the only thing that would improve was the recommendation of the Nando restaurant in Belagio, I feel that the service there was not at…”

“I was so looking forward to this tour. Unfortunately, it was extremely disappointing. The tour began well when the guide recognized my cane use and invited me to use a lift to the upper level where the tour began. We first visited the Opera House where a rehearsal was in progress. It was most interesting to watch for a few minutes before proceeding into the museum, where we sat for a few minutes for an interesting narrative about the history of LaScala. Once we entered the museum, we encountered other tour groups. At times, there were as many as 3 groups in one small room. It became very difficult to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 118 reviews · from $532

Spend three focused hours with a private guide at Milan’s Duomo, Leonardo’s Last Supper, Sforza Castle, La Scala, and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Guides such as Alberto, Christina, Victor, and Martino are praised for clear storytelling. Gelato adds a welcome Italian finish.

“This was an exceptional tour mainly because of our guide, Martino. His ability to point out details and discuss background and history relating to both The Last Supper and the Duomo elevated the entire experience. I asked him if he had studied art history and he said no, that he had studied economy. He learned most of what he shared with us long after his university days. If I could give him six stars, I would. I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying a tour with him…and I say this as someone who is not a morning person but booked an 8:15 a.m. tour because it was the only time slot…”
