Reviews for Lake Como Tours
N
This tour made traveling between countries very easy. I liked not having to organize transportation myself. The Colosseum area in Rome was impressive and the historical explanations from the guide were excellent. The only issue was one rainy day affected the mountain views, but of course that cannot be controlled.

FAQs about Lake Como Tours
What is the best time of year to visit Lake Como to avoid crowds and get pleasant weather?
Visit Lake Como between April-May or September–October for mild temperatures (15-22°C), fewer tourists, and lower accommodation prices. These shoulder months offer ideal conditions for hiking and lake activities without summer’s peak crowds. July and August are busiest and hottest, while winter months are quiet but many services reduce hours.
How do I get from Milan Malpensa Airport to Lake Como using public transportation?
Take the Malpensa Express train from Terminal 1 or 2 to Milano Centrale (39 minutes), then transfer to a regional train to Como San Giovanni (1 hour). Alternatively, use the Autostradale bus from Malpensa to Como Lago (50 minutes). Both options are reliable, with trains offering scenic views and better connectivity to other lakeside towns.
Are there any lake-wide passes for unlimited ferry travel on Lake Como?
:
Yes, the ComoCard and the Navigazione Lago di Como Unlimited Pass offer unlimited ferry travel for 24 to 72 hours. The ComoCard also includes discounts on attractions and free public transport in Como. Purchase online or at major docks in Como, Bellagio, and Varenna. Choose based on itinerary length and sightseeing plans.
Which towns on Lake Como are best for families with children?
Lenno, Tremezzina, and Menaggio are ideal for families. They offer gentle lakefront promenades, shallow swimming areas, playgrounds, and stroller-accessible paths. Villa del Balbianello and Villa Carlotta provide engaging gardens for kids. Ferries connect all three, making it easy to explore without a car. Avoid steep hillside trails in smaller villages like Brunate.
