    Lake Como Cruise 5/10/2026

    There was no lake cruise. There was a ferry ride across the lake from one side to another for 15 minutes. We had an escorted tour in Como, only, and just time on our own in the other stops. Very disappointed that there was no Lake Como “CRUISE “. Just a ferry ride across the lake.

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, thank you for your feedback. On that day, weather conditions — characterised by strong winds — did not allow us to operate safely in order to carry out the cruise, and we therefore used the public navigation service to give you the opportunity to reach and visit Bellagio. The safety of our guests is always our top priority. We are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations and hope to welcome you again under better conditions.

    Great day tour to Lake Como.

    This was a great tour. Como town was cute. The lake and lake cruise was very scenic and beautiful. Lugano is a beautiful town on the beautiful lake. Also very scenic. Our guide Chiara was lovely and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.

    Very Disappointing Experience

    The tour was very disappointing. Our guide did not actually guide us, she simply dropped us off and left us alone for about an hour at each location. Because of the crowds in Como, all the restaurants were full, so we had no time to eat or enjoy the area properly. There was also no real opportunity to explore. Overall, it felt rushed and unorganised, and definitely not worth the money.

    Milan tour gone wrong

    Don't book this tour if you want to know anything about Milan, Lake Como, Bellagio or Lugano. Alex our tour leader today was pleasant but was absolutely useless when came to info about the area. Hoped on the bus, he welcomed us to the tour & said we are going to Como & should be there in a hr. We arrived late. No fault of driver & the only cruise we had on the lake was the 5 min transfer boat for cars. No explanation given. Told to be back in 80 mins & pointed his finger in the town direction saying the cathedral was that way. Then we went to Lugano. Same sort of info was given about the town. Absolutely nothing. I'm sure you will get more comments about this trip from other PAYING passengers saying the same thing. Alex had interest in doing this job today which is a shame. We had just left Paris & done a City tour again with Viator & couldn't fault our tour guide Steve so we are extremely disappointed.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that all our guides are trained and prepared to the highest standards, as we believe professionalism and quality are essential to our work. We regret that on the day of your tour there was a disruption in the level of service that you – and we – expect. Please know that your satisfaction is extremely important to us, and we are grateful you took the time to share your opinion. Your feedback helps us improve, and we see it as a valuable opportunity to ensure that such situations are not repeated. Thank you again for your review and for helping us grow. Warm regards, Frigerio Viaggi

    Lake Como, Bellagio and Lugano Day Trip from Milan: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milan.

    How much does Lake Como, Bellagio and Lugano Day Trip from Milan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $96 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Milan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Lake Como, Bellagio and Lugano Day Trip from Milan take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Milan is not rushed.

    Is Lake Como, Bellagio and Lugano Day Trip from Milan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Milan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Lake Como, Bellagio and Lugano Day Trip from Milan?

    +

    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 Lake Como, Bellagio and Lugano Day Trip from Milan suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lake Como, Bellagio and Lugano Day Trip from Milan?

    +

    Around 10 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 Milan 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 Milan and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lake Como, Bellagio and Lugano Day Trip from Milan 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 Milan 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 Milan?

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 Milan?

    +

    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 Milan?

    +

    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.
