That small fact changes the shape of a day out. Instead of going up one shore and back down the same road, you drive north along the western shore through Cernobbio and Tremezzo to Menaggio, roll onto the ferry with the car, step off in Bellagio and return to Milan along the other branch of the lake, by Lecco. It is the most complete of our Lake Como [day trips from Milan](https://www.milanobycar.com/day-trip-from-milan). Because the car crosses with you, there is no need to come back to the pier you left from, and anything you leave in the car stays with you. The ferry ticket for the car and passengers is paid on the day and is not included in the price. For the classic western-shore day, see our [Bellagio day trip from Milan](https://www.milanobycar.com/bellagio-day-trip-from-milan). **The price is per vehicle, not per person**: from **€600** with an E-Class for two, from **€680** with a V-Class for up to six. ### Lake Como Grand Tour at a Glance DepartureDoor-to-door, Milan hotel or airport Distanceabout 170 km round trip · a loop Driveabout 1 h 40 min to Menaggio · about 1 h 30 min back from Bellagio Package8 hours · 150 km included Extra hours€75 (E) · €85 (V) Group sizePrivate · up to 6 (V-Class) HighlightsCernobbio · Tremezzo · Menaggio · car ferry · Bellagio [Book Your Lake Como Grand Tour](#mci-book) Suggested Itinerary — Fully Customisable## Lake Como Grand Tour Itinerary A full 8-hour loop: western shore in the morning, the ferry at midday, Bellagio in the afternoon and the Lecco road home. **Tailor-made, always.** This itinerary is our suggestion only: every MilanobyCar day trip is tailor-made. Change the stops, the order and the timing as you like, or tell us your own plan in the booking notes. **Your driver, your local insider.** Our chauffeurs are not licensed tour guides and do not guide you inside museums or sites, but they know these places well from years on the road: ask them for the best viewpoints, where to eat, where to stroll and how to avoid the busiest spots. If you would like a licensed guide, we can book one for you. Departure ### Pick-up at your hotel in Milan Your driver meets you in the lobby. It is a long day with a lot to see, so we suggest an early start; from Malpensa or Linate the loop can begin at arrivals, luggage in the car. Depart around 9:00Included in package Como & Cernobbio ### The lakefront, then the start of the western shore A short stop on the Como lakefront for the view up the lake, then Cernobbio, the elegant town where the shore road begins, home of the Villa d’Este hotel and the Villa Erba congress centre. Around 9:50–10:45Free to walk Western shore ### The Regina road to Tremezzo The old Via Regina runs along the water past Moltrasio and Argegno, with Isola Comacina, the lake’s only island, off Sala Comacina.

You stay on deck while the car travels with you. Your driver handles the timing; the ticket is paid on the day. Around 14:00Car ferry ticket not included Bellagio ### The village on the point of the lake Stepped lanes, the Romanesque Basilica of San Giacomo and the lakefront arcades.

After the car ferry to Bellagio, back via the lake road to Lecco and the SS36: about 170 km in all. Loop: Como – western shore · Lecco – MilanCar ferry Menaggio – BellagioAirportsPossible stops Frequently Asked Questions## Lake Como Grand Tour with Car Ferry — FAQ How long is the drive? About 1 hour 40 minutes from Milan to Menaggio via Como and the western shore road, and about 1 hour 30 minutes from Bellagio back to Milan via Lecco. The whole loop is about 170 km. How does the car ferry work and is it included? Car ferries run between Menaggio, Cadenabbia, Bellagio and Varenna throughout the day; the crossing to Bellagio is short. Your driver drives on, you travel on deck. The ticket for the car and passengers is not included and is paid on the day. How much does a private day trip from Milan to Lake Como with the car ferry cost? From €600 per car with a Mercedes E-Class (up to 2 passengers) and from €680 with a V-Class (up to 6), for 8 hours with 150 km included. Saturdays and Sundays are +20%, major holidays +50%, and extra hours cost €75 (E-Class) or €85 (V-Class). How is this different from the Bellagio day trip? Here the car crosses the lake with you, so the day becomes a loop: western shore out, Lecco branch back, with no return to the pier you started from. It sees the most of the lake in one day, with more time in the car than the simpler options. Can we visit Villa Carlotta or Villa del Balbianello as well? Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo fits if you shorten lunch or add an hour. Villa del Balbianello needs a booked ticket and a walk or taxi boat from Lenno, so it works better on our dedicated villas day or with extra hours. Is a guide included? No. Your driver is not a licensed tour guide and does not guide you inside the sites, but after years on these roads he knows Lake Como well and can recommend the best viewpoints, places and restaurants, and give you practical tips for the day. A licensed local guide can be booked on request. ### The Lake Como grand tour by private car or by public transport? With trains, buses and ferries the same loop needs at least four connections and careful timing, and the buses on the western shore are often full in summer. With a private car and the car ferry the whole circuit flows: you choose the stops, the luggage stays in the car and the day ends at your hotel door. ### What to know about the car ferry The car ferries of Navigazione Laghi link only the central lake: Menaggio, Cadenabbia, Bellagio and Varenna. They are not bookable in advance and queues can form on summer weekends, which is why the timing is left to your driver, who adapts the plan to the day. ### How much is a Lake Como grand tour? MilanobyCar charges a fixed price per car: from €600 for two passengers in a Mercedes E-Class and from €680 for up to six in a V-Class, for 8 hours, including driver, fuel, tolls and parking. The car ferry ticket is extra. Weekends +20%, holidays +50%.
