Recommended driver from Milan airport or hotel to Lake Como towns

Taxiservice Barili and Marco who owns and operates was a pleasure. He arrived promptly to pick us up which we had arranged beforehand via email. His van was new, clean and comfortable and he is an extremely smooth and safe driver. Important on the small winding roads in the region.

His English is not perfect but no problem to communicate and he is very friendly and professional and willing to tell you interesting information as you drive thru the beautiful towns surrounding the lake. Highly recommend him for your transport for a trip to Lake Como.

How much did it cost? When we were in Varenna 8 years ago I saw that a private transfer to the airport was over €100.

It cost 170 € each way for 3 people.

Not inexpensive but worth it if don’t want to drive yourself and too much trouble to take train with luggage etc. It was worth the price for us escoecially as we could enjoy the scenery along the drive.

We have always used Davide Guerrero out of Como to pick us up at MXP and take us to Bellagio. It was well over 100€ but we feel worth it.

I am know you needed a taxi for a reason, but for others reading this post, the train is under 10 euros to Varenna. Thanks for the recommendation.

We used Marco from The Milan Malpensa Airport to Varenna and it was worth the cost especially after hearing stories from our tour mates of delayed or cancelled trains and trying to navigate the train station on a few hours of sleep while hauling suitcases. We learned very quickly that everything is ‘dependo’ in Italy.
