Perfect day at Lake Como
City Unscripted and our tour guide, Lisa, were both outstanding!!! Lisa made all the arrangements that I asked for to make our day personal and so we could see what we wanted to see of the lake and Bellagio! It was not a cookie cutter tour but a very personalized experience! We were able to have a ferry trip to Bellagio, explore Bellagio, have a private book tour of the lake, lunch and a tour of Varenna. Our day was perfect! I highly recommend Lisa and City Unscripted!!!
Response from the operator: We're absolutely delighted to hear your day at Lake Como was everything you hoped for. It’s wonderful to know the experience felt truly personal, allowing you to explore Bellagio, Varenna, and the lake at your own pace while creating such special memories. Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation of both City Unscripted and your local host. We're so glad this became a perfect highlight of your trip.

Great time, both seeing...
A great time - seeing Lake Como, being out on the lake in a boat, and also stopping at a small town port on Lake Como to go visit that town, see an old church, and have lunch with a great view of the lake and experience a wonderful example of what small town life is like living on Lake Como. Also, our tour guide Andrea was excellent and new a lot of information - not just about Italy but also many countries and took us for a wonderful personalized tour that was extremely worthwhile and a great time for our family.
Response from the operator: Exploring the lake by boat, visiting a charming town, enjoying a scenic lunch, and experiencing the beauty of local life all sound like the perfect day. We're especially glad to hear that Andrea made the tour so special with his extensive knowledge and personal touch. It’s always wonderful to know our hosts are creating meaningful, tailored experiences for families like yours. Thank you again for choosing to explore with us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. And thank you so much for sharing your experience!

Amazing Exprience with a wonderful tour guide
My tour guide was Reza, and he was absolutely amazing! Being on a solo trip in Italy for the first time, not speaking an ounce of Italian, I knew I may face a couple of challenges. So when it came to touring Lake Como, I decided to book this private tour and happy I did. I couldn’t have expected the sheer amount of crowds and chaos that we would experience, and if I would have tried to maneuver through this alone, I most likely would have turned right around and left Como. Reza had the transportation hashed out from the train, to busses and a subway, he had chosen some great landmarks to go see, and was able to think quickly and provide new suggestions when we experienced roadblocks where tickets were sold out. He was energetic, knowledgeable, and fluent in English so it helped tremendously that he was able to communicate with me and the locals seamlessly. I’m so happy I went this route, I learned a ton about the city and landmarks along the way, and took a billion pictures to remember them all.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Reza helped turn what could have been a stressful day into a smooth, enriching, and memorable experience in Lake Como. His energy, quick thinking, and local expertise truly make all the difference, especially for solo travelers. We’re so glad you were able to enjoy the city fully and come away with great memories (and photos!). If there’s anything else we can do to help with future adventures, just let us know!

We had a very pleasant experience with our guide Marco. We learned much history of Como and were take to a beautiful authentic restaurant with a view of the lake for lunch. Would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your tour with Marco and had a wonderful lunch with a view.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lake Como Day Trip from Milan by Train: Private & Personalized: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milan.
How much does Lake Como Day Trip from Milan by Train: Private & Personalized cost?
+
Prices start at $492 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 Day Trip from Milan by Train: Private & Personalized 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 Day Trip from Milan by Train: Private & Personalized worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 Day Trip from Milan by Train: Private & Personalized?
+
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 Day Trip from Milan by Train: Private & Personalized 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 Day Trip from Milan by Train: Private & Personalized?
+
Around 5 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 Day Trip from Milan by Train: Private & Personalized 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?
+
On Outty we rank every Milan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gnocchi, Pasta, Tiramisù and Wine Class, Authentic Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class in Milan, Milan's Hidden Gems: Unique Bike Tour (ENG, NL). 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.
