Stunning!
Nadia was such an amazing guide! This hike was full of beauty and majestic scenery at every turn. We learned so much that day. My daughter was experiencing Lake Como for the first time and I wanted her to see some of these places her dad and I had fallen in love with in a prior trip. Nadia shared the backstory and history to them and now I appreciate them even more. I’ll never look at black marble the same after all those black marble stones we helped to smooth and polish as we hiked in our shoes that day!

Nice 1-day trek a stone's throw from Milan
Beautiful route in the middle of the coast, with spectacular views of Lake Como and without excessive gradients. To do at least once!

Hike in Varenna
The hike was nice and passed through some beautiful scenery with the expert guidance of Nadia (the tour guide). However given that it was a hike I believe that the tour is overpriced.
Response from the operator: Hi Andre, I'm happy to read that you enjoined the Tour. If you will remember the hike among the beautiful moments you spent in your holiday, then it was worth the price.

Stunning Views, Steep Costs, and Mixed Guidance
For all those who love a good mountaineering experience with great views, this is for you! But that's not all... The cost of the hike was ridiculously expensive with absolutely nothing included (the entrances to the palace and gorge had to be paid separately... and not even a bottle of water was given!). So the price only includes using your own feet. The trekking experience was practically nonstop and barely given time to take photos! The descriptions given by Nadia were not always accurate. While she was informative on some things, she wasn't on others. On the whole, while the trip could be done free of charge (if you know the routes), it could at least be done with half the price requested. But nonetheless, I felt I needed the exercise, so that's a plus!
Response from the operator: Hi Andre, I am very glad you appreciated the hiking experience and the great views: the sense of experience is precisely a full immersion in nature, short description of the most important historical moments of the area, local life and traditions. All tours can be done independently, you decide to take a guided tour to enjoy the day in complete relax and understand more about the places you visit.. I’m sorry to understand that it wasn’t clear enough what was included and what not, but it was published. Furthermore, if you had asked for a drink I would have gladly offered. I hope to see you again and to drink a prosecco together. Nadia

The best way to see the lake and villages
Nadia gave us the perfect day at Lake Como. We never would have had this unique and beautiful experience without her. The hike was a good challenge while still being able to enjoy the view. Nadia is also so knowledgeable in the history of the region and we learned so much. Thank you Nadia!!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
1 Day Trekking - Il Sentiero del Viandante: BELLANO. VARENNA: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does 1 Day Trekking - Il Sentiero del Viandante: BELLANO. VARENNA cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 Day Trekking - Il Sentiero del Viandante: BELLANO. VARENNA take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.
Is 1 Day Trekking - Il Sentiero del Viandante: BELLANO. VARENNA worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Day Trekking - Il Sentiero del Viandante: BELLANO. VARENNA?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1 Day Trekking - Il Sentiero del Viandante: BELLANO. VARENNA suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1 Day Trekking - Il Sentiero del Viandante: BELLANO. VARENNA?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 Day Trekking - Il Sentiero del Viandante: BELLANO. VARENNA start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lake Como?
+
On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise, Small-Group Lake Como: Bellagio, Varenna, Hidden Gorge & Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lake Como?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lake Como?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
