What people love about Lombardy Tours
- Lake Como Walking
Overall very happy with the trip. Walks were pretty steep, more moderate than easy, but that’s personal comment obviously. The hotel was fine but we did feel the meals there were expensive.
My wife and I really enjoyed our tour to the four northern lakes. Elvio (guide) and Claudio (driver) were absolutely fantastic. The tour group had a total of 11 which made for a very comfortable drive in the 20 person transit van. We paid extra for the upgraded rooms which were worth the extra cost in Como and Verona. The" upgraded room" in Bergamo at the Best Western was disappointing at best (no view and a horrible mattress), particularly after we had to move late in the evening when the A/C in the room stopped working. Weather was ok for the most part, lots of clouds which keep the temperatures in check, and some rain (mostly overnight). Some suggestions for improvement: 1. Need more time to tour the old part of Bergamo, 2. Use "express" ferry from Como to Bellagio, too long and too many stops on the "local" ferry.
4 Days Northern Lakes Tour - from Milan
- The Magic of the Italian Lakes
Great guide and driver. Meals were poor. I know it is difficult to have meals for large groups so, some thinking about other ideas is needed. Mics need improving.
What our customers ask about Lombardy Tours & Trips
How Can You Best Experience Lombardy's Lakes Without Taking Tours?
You'll find ferries connecting all the main towns around Lake Como which is perfect for exploring at your own pace and getting those amazing views. If you want something more personal you can rent a smaller boat or book a private trip. Over at Lake Garda the boat tours are really worth it especially around Sirmione where you'll see the impressive Scaligero Castle and these incredible ruins at Catullus's Grotto. For hiking enthusiasts there's plenty of trails around all the lakes but I'd recommend the walk from Gravedona to Dongo around Lake Como it's pretty challenging but you'll pass through beautiful vineyards with incredible lake views. There's this great 7-night Lake Como Walking tour based in Gravedona that lets you really explore places like Bellagio and Dongo at a nice pace.
Where Can You Find Both Culture and Active Adventures in Lombardy?
Lake Como really has it all when it comes to mixing culture with outdoor activities. You can cycle along the Lecco arm of the lake up to Asso then enjoy this amazing downhill ride toward Como where you'll find the historic Duomo and Volta Temple. For serious cyclists there's this incredible route to Madonna del Ghisallo chapel and bicycle museum near Bellagio it's actually quite famous internationally. Lake Garda's got some fantastic hiking especially the Singol Valley trail from Limone where you'll see the landscape change from Mediterranean to alpine as you go up. The Italian Lakes: Hike Bike & Kayak tour is perfect if you want to do it all combining hiking in Bellagio cycling around Lake Garda and even some kayaking.
What Local Foods Should You Try in Lombardy?
You've got to try the Risotto con Pesce it's this amazing fish risotto you'll find in lakeside towns like Gravedona. The Pizzoccheri is really special it's this hearty buckwheat pasta dish and don't miss the Sciatt these delicious cheese croquettes. Polenta Taragna made with cornmeal and buckwheat flour is fantastic and the Bresaola air-dried salted beef from Valtellina is just incredible. The local wines especially Barbera and Moscato pair perfectly with everything. On the Great Alps Luxury/Small Group Bike Tour in Bormio you'll get to try all these dishes together with local wine pairings it's quite an experience.
What Should You Know About Local Customs Before Visiting?
The aperitivo tradition in Milan is something you really need to experience it's this wonderful pre-dinner ritual where bars serve drinks with small snacks. The Milan & Lake Como 3 Days/2 Nights tour includes a great aperitivo experience in Milan's Navigli district. Local interaction is important just saying Buongiorno or Grazie goes such a long way. Remember to dress appropriately for churches keep shoulders and knees covered and during meals try to keep your elbows off the table. One thing to remember is that Italians take their time with dining it's not rushed just embrace that slower pace and enjoy.
What's the Best Way to Get Around Lombardy Especially Around the Lakes?
High-speed trains are fantastic for getting between the major cities like Milan and Verona while regional trains are great value for reaching lake towns like Como San Giovanni which is just a quick ride from Lugano. Driving can be tricky especially around the lakes where the roads are pretty narrow and parking in small towns can be a real challenge. The ferry services around Lake Como are really practical and scenic you've got local ferries that make lots of stops perfect for sightseeing and express ferries when you need to get somewhere faster. Actually one of our travelers on the 4-Day Northern Lakes Tour from Milan recommended taking the express ferry from Como to Bellagio it's much more efficient.
