A very Small-Group tour departing from Milan Central station for the transfer, either by train or by minibus, to Lake Como where we take a short walk in the charming village of Varenna and adjacent area. Afterwards we experience a 15 minutes public ferry boat cruise for another perspective of this landscapes beauty!
Getting back in our minivan we drive along a panoramic section of the lake shore with spectacular view heading toward a restaurant possibly where they serve some local dishes: lake fish and/or cheese sauced buckweath pasta, venison and cured meat etc (on your own expenses, average € 30/35 per person) and after that we explore the nearby off-the-beaten-path region nestled in the breathtaking Alps mountains where sometimes we are able to do a short visit of a small local farmer or producer (on your own expenses, average € 20 per person).
Finally we will drive along another section of the Lake and at some point we take the train for the return to Milan Central station.
