What people love about Lombardy Tours
- 4 Days Northern Lakes Tour - from Milan
Our guide Luigi was excellent, warm , professional and welcoming to all , very patient with the group . The bus driver was also very professional and courteous and a very safe driver. Beautiful part of Italy!
- 4 Days Northern Lakes Tour - from Milan
The overall tour was excellent, very well organized and enriching. All the itinerary was followed exactly as stated. Luigi was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. The accommodations were good. What I would suggest is for the tour to have a list of recommendations for the guests to check (restaurants, museums, activities) during every free time they are given.
Overall it was a very nice tour. I enjoyed our visits, there was a mention in other reviews as well ,about the hotels, and I have to agree, unless you have the upgraded option not all hotels are good. There were a few hiccups in the program as well. One of the visits was scheduled on the day the cathedral was closed. The private boat ride on another which was supposed to offer a cocktail on the boat was also canceled. There's absolutely room for improvement in the scheduling and the visits. Also lunch time at your own was a short hour or so, which made it very hard to find where to eat in a town you don't know at all. Italians tend to take their time with serving food so that was a big challenge. There was a mention about free wifi available, which was not the case. In one of the previous tours I took there wifi on-board the bus, but here there was none. Big problem for north Americans who don't want to pay hefty long distance charges.

See all Coach / Bus toursWe've designed our explorer tours to show you Lombardy's quieter corners in ways that make sense.

Our clients tell us they love how it mixes guided walks through cities with relaxed boat rides out to places like Bellagio. There's also an excellent 8-day option that gives you more time on three major lakes, with boat trips to small ports and historic villas along the way. These tours work because they give you both structured moments like wine tastings in Franciacorta and also plenty of free time to explore medieval centers and lakeside walks on your own.

Top operators in Lombardy
Road Bike Tours Italy stands out as the clear winner among the three companies, with consistently excellent feedback from cyclists who've joined their tours. Their guides Luca and Richi know exactly how to handle different skill levels and make everyone feel taken care of - something that's actually pretty rare in group cycling tours. Explore's Lake Como walking tour has hit some rough patches lately. While the region is beautiful, several of our travelers have told us the hiking was tougher than they expected. The main issue seems to be mixing different fitness levels in the same group, which can slow everyone down and make some people feel rushed. Cosmos does a solid job with their Italian Lakes program, and tour directors Lenora and Georgio get lots of mentions in positive reviews. They're particularly good at managing the logistics and keeping things running smoothly. The one consistent note from travelers is about the food - it's not quite at the level you'd expect in Italy, and there's definitely room for improvement there. Here's what makes each option distinct: Road Bike Tours Italy focuses on luxury touches and personal attention, Explore emphasizes active travel but needs better group coordination, and Cosmos delivers reliable lake district experiences with strong tour leadership but could upgrade their dining choices.

"This was a fantastic tour with a great itinerary visiting some of the most beautiful places in Italy. We had lovely, kind and thoughtful tour leader, Didi and an excellent coach driver Elia. The only thing I would recommend changing is to make the tour longer to have multiple night stays in order to better enjoy the places visited.

Discover Lombardy tours for every budget
The 3-day Milan and Lake Como budget tour packs all the good bits into a quick escape. Our travelers really like how it mixes guided walks through Milan with time to explore the fashion district on their own. You'll spend a full day on Lake Como, hopping between towns by ferry, and join an evening food walk through the Navigli canal district. If you've got more time, the 6-day Alps and Northern Lakes tour is a solid choice at a good price. The Bernina Express train ride through UNESCO landscapes is a highlight, and everyone loves the boat trip over to Bellagio. Our guides know their stuff - they'll show you quiet corners of Verona and tell great stories about Sirmione's medieval castle.
Our luxury cycling tours really shine with the Three Lakes experience. You'll have a support van nearby as you ride, and the guides are brilliant at adjusting routes to match how everyone's feeling. The hotels are picked specially for cyclists, with all the right facilities to keep your gear safe and ready. For serious riders, the Great Alps tour takes you up famous climbs like Gavia Pass and Stelvio Pass, with stops at thermal spas to ease those muscles. The week-long Milan to Verona journey mixes private access to Milan's Duomo terrace with exclusive wine tastings in Valpolicella. What makes these tours work so well is how they combine cycling with cultural moments - you might stop at a family winery or take a boat across Lake Garda to explore Roman ruins.

Top Lombardy travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our week-long Lombardy lakes tours come in two distinct flavors. Cyclists can tackle the Three Lakes route, which our guests praise for balancing challenging climbs with easier flat sections. A support van handles all the logistics so riders can focus on the road ahead. The other option moves at a gentler pace from Milan through Verona and wine country. In Valpolicella, local winemakers share family stories and production secrets. The boat ride around Sirmione's peninsula is a highlight - our travelers love seeing the Roman ruins from the water and spotting the lake bottom through crystal-clear waters. Both tours include carefully selected hotels - some with Lake Como views, others right in Verona's historic streets.

Demographics
Solo travelers tell us they really connect with our Lake Como walking tours - you get to spend 7 nights in laid-back Gravedona while exploring at your own rhythm. The daily walks mix easy lakeside paths with some good uphill sections reaching about 550 meters, and nobody minds if you take it slow. Our guides put together these great picnics for breaks, and people often say how quickly the small groups become friends. Another solid option combines northern Italian lakes with visits to historic towns, giving you both guided tours and space to wander places like Bellagio or Verona's Roman amphitheater. The hotels are all well-placed, though some guests mention it's worth upgrading rooms in Como and Verona if you want better views.
Our couples really take to the luxury tours that mix scenic train rides with lakeside stays. The 6-day Alps and Lakes trip lets you share the Bernina Express experience - it's like watching an Alpine movie together as the train winds through mountain passes. You'll split an aperitivo in Milan's old center and take boat rides together to spots like Villa Carlotta. Active pairs often pick our Lake Garda cycling tours - you can pedal through olive groves, vineyards and then relax at hotels we've chosen for their lake views. The wine stops in Franciacorta add that bit of magic to your shared journey.
Our younger travelers go for active tours that blend outdoor challenges with cultural spots. The three-lakes cycling routes test you with climbs like Madonna del Ghisallo but pay off with fantastic descents and waterside rides. You can join walks through Milan's fashion streets and finish days with drinks in the lively Navigli area. The Great Alps bike tour takes it up a notch with proper climbs like Gavia and Stelvio passes, plus natural spas to ease those muscles afterward. Our guides know just how to adjust the pace and can point you to where the younger crowd likes to hang out in the evenings.
Our senior guests often mention how much they enjoy northern lakes tours because they mix comfortable transport with relaxed sightseeing. You'll see places like Orta San Giulio's island monastery and take boat rides to the Borromean Islands at an easy pace. The walking parts are gentle, and local transport is there if you need it. Many guests appreciate our guides sharing deep historical knowledge about Verona's medieval center and Sirmione's Roman sites. Hotels sit right in the middle of things, perfect for exploring in free time, and we include plenty of stops for local wines and traditional meals.

Best time to visit Lombardy
- Spring 2025
Spring wakes up Lombardy's lakes and mountains in the best way possible. Our tours starting in March let you walk paths high above Lake Como, where the Southern Alps keep their snow caps until May. It's really smart to visit the lakes this time of year - you can explore Bellagio's gardens as they bloom and take quiet boat trips to historic villas before the summer visitors arrive. The cycling routes through Val Cannobina show off carpets of spring wildflowers, while our combined tours with the Bernina Express give you perfect weather for both mountain and lake experiences. Wine lovers particularly enjoy visiting Franciacorta estates in spring, walking through vineyards just as the vines start their new growth.

- Summer 2025
Summer's long days and warm evenings shape our most popular tours. Travelers cool off with boat rides between Lake Maggiore, Como and also Lake Garda. The evening walks through Milan's Navigli district put you right where locals gather for canal-side aperitivo. We schedule cycling tours early to beat the heat - you'll ride past Lake Garda's olive groves and vineyards, stopping for gelato in medieval villages along the way. Our tours mix guided activities with free time, so you can join morning excursions then spend afternoons by the hotel pool. Even in peak summer, the Bernina Express offers a cool mountain escape that our clients really appreciate.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall tours show Lombardy at its finest. The lakes keep their warmth but add rich autumn colors, making exploration really comfortable. Wine tours hit their stride in September and October - you'll see Franciacorta during harvest and often catch local festivals too. Walking tours above Lake Como give you clear views across to mountains getting their first snow dustings. Cyclists love the cooler weather, whether they're taking on the Madonna del Ghisallo climb or riding along Lake Garda's shoreline. The Bernina Express and lake combination tours work beautifully this time of year, giving you mountain and lake views without summer's busy spots.
