AI Summary – Private Lake Como & Lugano Tour from Milan

Updated July 2026

A fully private van and guide from Milan to Lake Como and Lake Lugano — door-to-door hotel pickup (or meet at Milano Centrale), an itinerary built around your group, and the freedom to spend time where it matters. Two lakes, two countries, no shared groups, no fixed route. Designed by Oleg and Stefano, founders of Abroads Tours. From €990 for two guests — the larger your group (up to 7), the lower the price per person. 8–10 hours. Free cancellation 72 hours in advance 

A private van, door-to-door

Pickup from your Milan hotel — or meet us at Milano Centrale if you prefer. A private van and your own guide for the full day, no shared coaches.

Your itinerary, not ours

We suggest routes based on your interests and your group, then you set the pace, the stops, and how long you linger anywhere.

Two lakes, two countries

We can cross into Switzerland in the same day — Lake Lugano and villages like Morcote, one of the most beautiful in the country, are within easy reach.

Bellagio at golden hour

We time Bellagio for the late afternoon, when the day-trippers have gone and the town glows in the evening light — a different place entirely from Bellagio at noon.

A ferry on the lake — or a private boat

Ferry tickets are included, so you cross the water the way locals do, with the Alps reflected around you. For something special, you can add a private wooden boat from €300 per hour (per boat).

Lake Como is huge — seeing all of it in a day is like trying to see all of New York in a day. We show you some of its most iconic and beautiful places, and with a private boat for a couple of hours you can take in almost everything that matters:

On request

We can arrange a visit to Villa del Balbianello — the Star Wars and James Bond villa — even on dates when tickets are sold out on the villa's own website. We can also book you a table at a genuinely beautiful restaurant or a five-star hotel dining room for lunch. Just tell us what you have in mind.

Oleg and Stefano lead every private tour themselves. Not a subcontracted driver with a headset — the people who designed this itinerary are the people who show it to you.

Most private Lake Como tours are one of two things: a driver who drops you in Bellagio and picks you up later — no guidance, no stories, no recommendations — or an agency that pairs a chauffeur with a freelance guide and adds its margin, so your day becomes a gamble that depends on which driver and which guide happen to show up. With us there's no middleman — the vehicle is ours, and we are the guides.

Option A — Lake Como, Bellagio, Lugano & Morcote

Pickup in Milan, then the two-country day the right way round: Morcote and the town of Lugano on Lake Lugano in the morning, a long lakeside lunch, and Bellagio on Lake Como in the calm of late afternoon. Guide, vehicle and ferries included.

Option B — Varenna, Bellagio & a private boat

The most beautiful side of the lake: Varenna and Bellagio by land, plus a private wooden boat to see, from the water, the villas made famous on screen — Villa del Balbianello (Star Wars, Casino Royale) and Villa Balbiano (House of Gucci, The Devil Wears Prada 2).
