Overview

Lake Como is one of Italy's most beautiful corners — but in summer, the wrong timing means hours lost in ferry queues.

This small-group tour (max 15) is planned by a guide who knows exactly when and where the crowds hit, so you reach Varenna in the morning while it's still quiet, explore Bellagio at its best, and cruise past the lake's famous film villas — George Clooney's home, the House of Gucci and Devil Wears Prada 2 villa, the James Bond and Star Wars villa — on the way to Como.

Train, ferry, and boat are all arranged for you. End your day free to stay for dinner by the lake, or return to Milan with your guide.
