1.Transfer Milan City Centre – Bergamo Airport

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 975 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $13Our pick

Review of Terravision’s Milan to Bergamo Airport bus: low price, clear meeting point, useful timing tips, WiFi, and possible waits.

“coach was packed not a spare seat and very hot, got us to the airport in plenty of time, be aware to give yourself plenty of time as the bus seemed to wait until all seats were taken to leave for airport, this could take a while, anyone left behind could find themselves with a good 30 to 45 minute wait as we sat on the bus for well over half an hr, saying that cheap enough and value for money.”

Escape Varenna for a local picnic in the Alpine foothills, with Lake Como views, regional food, wine, and a gentle woodland walk.

“We had a wonderful time, and highly recommend this experience! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and really made us feel welcome. The food was delicious, and we had plenty of time. One note, for people who are concerned about the hike, it’s fully optional, and flat. We were commenting that our 80+ year-old parents could do it, or sit out if they didn’t want to. So, don’t let the hike part of this turn you off to it it’s absolutely beautiful, and we highly recommend that part of it, but if you don’t want to do it, that’s totally OK too! This was the number one thing we did on…”

Only complaint we have is comfort/breakfast stop was very rushed - for toilet and grabbing a quick bite 20 mins was too short given the queues and language barrier.”
