Like they say " you get what you pay for" The MPH is a wonderful hotel and in many ways (my opinion) better than it's sister the PHV. If you stay don't forget Dante's Restaurant

Recommendations for a Private Tour Company in Milan
I am thinking of spending 3 or 4 days in Milan this summer (in July) and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for private tour operators in the area. Specifically, I'm looking for a day trip to Lake Como, a day trip to Tuscany/Florence, and perhaps a day trip to Turin. 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

Varenna is on Lake Como and is only about an hour (maybe less) by train. Great restaurants in that town, Milanese will go up just for lunch. You can take the ferry to Bellagio (and other towns) no need for a car. Very easy day trip.
Forget Florence. Not sure how far Turin is by train.

Bergamo is under an hour and a good day trip. But Milan is underrated, easily worth a few days.

Quite true Milan is a favorite city of ours as is most of Italy. Instead or running around trying to see everything at one time slow down and smell the "espresso" and yes NO Nestle` Ugh
