What to expect

Milan
Pass by

Swap Milan’s busy streets for Lake Como’s mountain backdrop and waterfront towns. Meet your local guide at Milano Centrale and travel together by train to Como, where lakeside walks, lively piazzas, and views across the water await. Before you meet, you’ll receive a short Personalization Form so we can tailor the experience to your interests and pair you with a local guide. Your day allows time to explore, browse, and enjoy lunch at a spot that suits your tastes.

The places below are examples rather than a fixed route or guaranteed stops. Your itinerary is shaped by your interests and pace, as well as train and ferry schedules, opening hours, weather, and local conditions. Return train travel is included, along with a ferry ride during the summer months.
Como
Pass by

Get to know Como through its café-lined piazzas, stone-paved streets, and lakefront promenade. Admire the cathedral’s elaborate façade from the square, browse shopfronts in the historic center, and watch boats come and go along the waterfront. Your local guide shares the history behind the landmarks and offers a glimpse of daily life in a city where bustling shopping streets sit just a short walk from the lake.
Lake Como
Pass by

During the summer months, take to the water on an included ferry ride between lakeside towns. Steep hillsides rise behind waterfront villas, while villages cluster around small harbors along the shore. Enjoy the breeze and changing views as your local guide points out landmarks along the way. The ferry route depends on seasonal connections and operating conditions, with the day planned to make the most of your time on the lake.
Torno
Pass by

Boats bobbing near the harbor and narrow lanes winding between old buildings give Torno its inviting village atmosphere. Explore on foot with your local guide, find a favorite view across the water, and pause at a lakeside café or restaurant. Depending on your preferences and ferry connections, your day may feature Moltrasio instead. Your guide can recommend a lunch spot that suits your tastes and budget.
Milan
Pass by

Settle into the train journey back to Milan after a day beside the lake. Your local guide accompanies you on the return journey and can share recommendations for restaurants and neighborhoods to explore during the rest of your stay. The day is planned around the available connections, and the experience ends at the original meeting point at Milano Centrale.
