    Full description

    Escape the hustle and bustle of Milan for a relaxing tour of the countryside of northern Italy and southern Switzerland, traveling in air-conditioned comfort.

    Relax as you take in Alpine views and see stunning lakes and villas. In less than an hour, you’ll pass the Italian border and arrive in Switzerland and take a scenic drive to the foot of the Alps.

    The first destination on your great escape is Lugano, featuring breathtaking panoramas and excellent shopping opportunities. If you are craving artistic culture, take a relaxing walk through town to Chiesa di Santa Maria di Loreto church.

    Once in Bellagio, enjoy free time to explore the town and do some shopping, or relax and eat some local food in the most nostalgic bars and restaurants. After taking some photos and enjoying the town’s charming atmosphere, continue to Lake Como by coach.

    Upon arrival, enjoy a 2-hour boat cruise along the lake for a unique opportunity to admire the breathtaking landscapes and see villas of the rich and famous. Lake Como is a famous holiday destination for stars and celebrities.

    Sonia and Valentina were amazing tour guides, the best I've had from many tours. The driver Claudio was very capable. Tour is organised well, with ample time in Lugano and especially Bellaggio. Como cruise was also nice and informative. Boat is a bit crowded but thats expected. Overall highly recomended

    Best day trip I’ve ever done. Would highly recommend, packed so much into one day. Lugano, Bellagio and Lake Como are all beautiful. The guides Sonia & Valentina were great. Just the perfect amount of interaction without being over the top. They also provided some great recommendations along the way. Despite being a long day, it’s worth every minute.

    The tour is worth the money. We picked the top level comparing with others. Going to Lugano is sth I believe good, which makes it different with others in Como. 2 hours boading is worth it: save a lot energy in walk. The guide is in general good, but English is limited: we were able to follow 50%. We didnt use the radio, because it is not clean. We tested one later, it didn't work either. We got lost from the guide last minute when heading to the bus back to Milan. It is just 1 min buying a bottle of water and then the guide/team disappeared. We had no handouts for information, so we were in big trouble. Fortunately, I was able to find a number typed in the radio for Loss and Found and was eventually connected with the guide and bus. I gave all the tip to the lady who helped us for getting connected to the guide.
