Arrival in Milan and check-in at your hotel.
The rest of the day is free to relax or start exploring the city at your own pace.

Overnight in Milan (breakfast included).

Today is dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci and the artistic soul of Milan.

Professor Perlman — Elio’s father in the film and a scholar of archaeology and ancient culture — reflects a deep passion for Italian art and history. In Milan, that fascination naturally leads to one of the most intriguing geniuses of all time: Leonardo da Vinci, whose legacy is still strongly present in the city.

With your private gay-friendly guide, you’ll explore Milan’s key sites connected to Leonardo and the Renaissance atmosphere that inspired so much of the film’s cultural background.

To end the day, enjoy a classic Italian aperitivo in Porta Venezia, Milan’s iconic LGBTQ+ district.

Free evening.

Overnight in Milan (breakfast included).

After breakfast, depart for the scenic Cascate del Serio, a dramatic waterfall setting featured in the film, during the famous running scene to “Mystery of Love” by Sufjan Stevens.

Please note: the Serio Waterfalls are artificial and only flow on specific dates, set by local authorities. If the falls are not open, you can still enjoy a beautiful nature experience in the area, including mountain shelters and viewpoints in the Brembana Valley or Seriana Valley.

After a free lunch in Valbondione, continue to Bergamo Alta (Upper Town) — one of northern Italy’s most charming medieval cities. Built on ancient Roman origins and surrounded by Venetian walls, Bergamo Alta is reached by funicular and features stunning landmarks such as the Duomo, the Romanesque basilica, and the spectacular Colleoni Chapel with frescoes.

Here you’ll visit several Call Me by Your Name filming locations, including:

• Piazza Rosate
• Piazza Duomo
• the Natural Science University, where Elio and Oliver share one of the most unforgettable moments of the story

Check out from your hotel and depart for Crema, where you’ll meet your English-speaking guide.

Crema and its countryside are the authentic heart of the Po Valley — and the main setting where Call Me by Your Name was filmed. Today you’ll follow Elio and Oliver’s steps through quiet streets, sunlit squares, and rural landscapes that made the movie unforgettable.

Lunch in a typical local trattoria in Crema.

In the afternoon, continue to the film locations in the area, including:

• Pandino (Piazza Vittorio Emanuele III)

After the visit, depart for Lake Garda.
Check-in at AQUALUX Hotel Spa Suite & Terme in Bardolino.
Free dinner and overnight (breakfast included).

Today you’ll visit one of the most evocative locations on Lake Garda: Sirmione, built on a narrow peninsula surrounded by water.

Explore the Grotte di Catullo, the remains of an ancient Roman villa (built between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD). This is where the archaeological mood of the movie comes to life — a stop that would definitely make Professor Perlman proud.

Continue with free time in Sirmione’s charming center, dominated by its castle and fortress. The area is also famous for its citrus tradition — Lake Garda lemons are a local pride.

Return to the hotel.
Free evening and overnight.

A relaxed day on the lake.

Upon arrival, drop off the rental car and transfer by water taxi to your hotel.

Overnight in Venice (breakfast included).

Venice is the perfect closing chapter for this journey — a city long associated with romance, art, and transgression. As a powerful port on the Eastern routes, Venice became a crossroads of cultures, wealthy merchants, and noble circles, and it has often been linked to a discreet yet fascinating queer history.

From Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice to the timeless atmosphere of Caffè Florian, today Venice invites you to slow down, wander, and enjoy its beauty at your own pace.

From lunch onward: free time.
