    Wonderful tour to Como with a fun guide

    Andre was an excellent host, providing us with plenty of knowledge and expertise of the Lake Como area. All details were taken care of with transportation, making it a stress free and relaxing day trip. Andre provided great lunch recommendations in Como, and he was a joy to spend the day with! We would definitely recommend this tour, and we would love to come back and do another tour in the future!

    Lake Como

    It was only my husband and myself so Alessandra and as very accommodating . We got to Como in time for a nice boat ride on the lake then when we returned to the dock she explained what we had seen. ( she didn’t ride along , we had to pay for our Tickets ) it was kinda nice to do it by ourselves. Then she walked us to the city square and explained the different landmarks , the history behind them . She had purchased our return train tickets while we were on the lake so she then got us back to the station on time. We could of stay and lingered all we wanted but we had tickets to return to a viewing of Davincis Last Supper

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us. Yes in this tour tickets for the ferry are not included but you could choose to travel with her as well. We hope to welcome you again on a future tour. All the best, Your Travel Diary

    Fabulous day in Lake Como

    Fabulous day in Lake Como!! We booked a a last minute day trip from Milan to Lake Como and it was the highlight of our trip. Our guide Lorenzo was amazing!! He provided us with so much information about the town highlighting the rich history and culture. He gave us wonderful shopping and dining recommendations. We enjoyed a fabulous lunch and ended our afternoon with a beautiful boat ride. Highly recommend this excursion!!!

    Nice tour

    We met our guide at the train station. We were the only couple on the tour. The guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The walking tour lasted about an hour and a half, then he helped us purchase tickets for the ferry and gave us directions to a restaurant in a small village. We were on our own after that and returned on the train with the tickets he purchased for us.

    Response from the operator: Hello, thank you so much for sharing your experience and we really appreciate your positive review! Best Regards, your travel diary

    Small-Group Lake Como Tour from Milan by Train: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Small-Group Lake Como Tour from Milan by Train cost?

    +

    Prices start at $227 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 Small-Group Lake Como Tour from Milan by Train take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Small-Group Lake Como Tour from Milan by Train worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 33 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 Small-Group Lake Como Tour from Milan by Train?

    +

    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 Small-Group Lake Como Tour from Milan by Train suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Small-Group Lake Como Tour from Milan by Train?

    +

    Around 12 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Small-Group Lake Como Tour from Milan by Train 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.

    What is included in Small-Group Lake Como Tour from Milan by Train?

    +

    Included: Train Tickets; and Professional guide at disposal (4-hours). Not included: Food and drinks; Gratuities; Boat tour; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Small-Group Lake Como Tour from Milan by Train?

    +

    Milan Cadorna Train Station meeting point in front Bank BPM in Cadorna Station inside the station Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
