About this trip
Four days out of Milan taking in five of northern Italy's best-known lakes. It's a fast-moving loop through Orta, Maggiore, Como, Garda and Iseo, mixing lake scenery with time in some well-loved towns.
Boat trips get you out onto the main lakes, while stops in Como, Bergamo and Verona add a dose of history and city wandering between the water. It suits anyone who wants a broad taste of the lakes region without committing to one base.
What you'll do
- Boat trips on the main northern Italian lakes
- See Lake Orta, Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, Lake Garda and Lake Iseo
- Wander the town of Como on the lake shore
- Explore Bergamo's historic streets
- Visit Verona
- Fast-paced — five lakes and several towns covered in just four days
- Accommodation on the September 21st departure differs due to the Marmomacc event in Verona, with comfort and luxury hotel options in the Garda area
Worth it if you want stress-free access to Como, Garda and Maggiore with strong guides. Think twice if language matters or you need longer stays in each location.
- Guides consistently praised as exceptional, with Didi, Silvia and Matilde singled out for warmth and professionalism
- One guide's limited English meant traveller missed 75 per cent of commentary and had to self-research nightly
- Verona hotel was poor and uncomfortable despite central location; small rooms and noisy at night frustrated multiple guests
- Four days feels rushed; multiple reviewers wished for longer stays in Bellagio, Bergamo and Lake towns visited
