More than a driver!
We had such a wonderful experience with Davide! He drove us to several wineries and truly went above and beyond. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and so lovely to chat with throughout the day. It felt like much more than simply having a driver — Davide really added to the experience and was a memorable part of our trip. We would absolutely recommend him!

Excellent Private Transfer
Davide's Private Blue Taxi was excellent. We hired his services for 2 days of driving. He was an excellent driver and tour guide. He was punctual and communicated with us regularly in order to keep us informed of any changes. His English is excellent and he is a very nice person. His vehicle is in excellent condition and was very clean. We would highly recommend his services.
Response from the operator: Dear Martin, thank you so much for taking the time too write your positive review! I was happy to meet you and be your private driver! Ciao, Davide

Recommended driver
David was extremely reliable. He communicated well ahead of time, picked us up at the arranged time, and drove very safely. His vehicle was a Mercedes Benz van that was modern, clean, and comfortable. David was also very honest. We mistakenly overpaid him and he let us know about the mistake. I would definitely recommend David if you’re looking for a driver for a Milan airport pick up or transport in the Italian Lake District.
Response from the operator: Dear Selwyn, thank you for writing this positive review! It was pleasure to drive you and your friends from the airport to Varenna and then again from Varenna to Stresa and lake Maggiore. Thank you for booking your transfers in the Italian lakes with me! Best wishes, Davide

Reliable and great
David was great..he had a big sign with our name on it when we arrived, so we could not miss him. He has a large Mercedes van so it takes a lot of luggage and he was so kind to drive us from the airport to the lakes late at night. Definitely a great transfer!
Response from the operator: Dear Suzanne, Thank you so much for your positive feedback. It was my pleasure! Best wishes, Davide

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Linate to Stresa Baveno or Stresa Baveno to Linate Private Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milan.
How much does Linate to Stresa Baveno or Stresa Baveno to Linate Private Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $385 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 Linate to Stresa Baveno or Stresa Baveno to Linate Private Transfer take?
+
Plan for about 1.7 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 Milan is not rushed.
Is Linate to Stresa Baveno or Stresa Baveno to Linate Private Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Linate to Stresa Baveno or Stresa Baveno to Linate Private Transfer?
+
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 Linate to Stresa Baveno or Stresa Baveno to Linate Private Transfer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Linate to Stresa Baveno or Stresa Baveno to Linate Private Transfer?
+
Around 1 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 1.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Linate to Stresa Baveno or Stresa Baveno to Linate Private Transfer 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 Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Gnocchi, Pasta, Tiramisù and Wine Class, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise. 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.
