About this tour
A full day escaping Milan's bustle for the Alps-framed shores of Lake Como. Your private driver collects you from your hotel and delivers you to the lakeside town of Como for two hours of independent exploration, followed by a scenic boat cruise across the water. From there, it's on to Bellagio, the lake's most photogenic settlement, where narrow lanes thread between boutiques, cafés, and lakefront villas. Eight hours door-to-door with a dedicated driver.
Highlights
- Private car and driver from Milan hotel to lakeside
- Two hours free time in Como town centre
- One-hour boat journey across Lake Como
- Bellagio's cobbled streets and waterfront cafés
- Villa Melzi gardens and Punta Spartivento viewpoint
- Return transfer to Milan included
What to expect
Your driver picks you up mid-morning and handles the roughly hour-long drive north to Como. You'll have time to wander the lakeside promenade, duck into local shops, or grab a coffee before boarding your boat. The one-hour cruise gives you views of villas clinging to the mountainside and the lake's dramatic backdrop. After docking, you'll drive to Bellagio (15 mins away), where steep alleys open onto piazzas and the waterfront. Villa Melzi's terraced gardens are worth 30 minutes; Punta Spartivento offers postcard vistas. There's no guided commentary—you set the pace and choose what to see.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes for Bellagio's steep streets. The boat ride operates year-round but can be choppy in winter. Your driver waits; coordinate timing if you want a full lunch break. No guide is included, so download a map beforehand. Public buses serve Como and Bellagio if you prefer independence.
