I know I can go to google and find dozens of private tour operators in Milan, but I was hoping to get a recommendation based on someone's personal experience. (When I went to Rome in 2014, the recommendations of fellow Flyer Talkers in the Hilton Waldorf Rome Cavalieri thread were most helpful in planning day trips/excursions with a private tour company.) I highly value the experience of travelers in this forum, and would welcome your suggestions for particular private tour operators in Milan. As for the trip overall, I think we'd spend 3-4 days at the Park Hyatt Milan, then travel to Rome for another 4 days or so at the Waldorf Rome Cavalieri. Thanks in advance for all your help! :-)
Suggestion Florence is a tough day trip unless your doing private jet. Como is one of those places I would highly suggest you rent a car and drive up and or hire a car/driver I would also encourage you to spend the night. The Hotel Metropolitan in Bellagio is fantastic only hotel right on the lake,
The front desk at the PHM is fantastic and have been superb everytime we are there including last minute Last Supper tickets and help with Lake Como. I would email them. Florence is a hard day trip really hard.
good luck Oh try Cafe Dante fantastic real local
