Excellent. We started a little earlier than most tours so there was little traffic. Alice our guide was amazing and thorough. Giving us lots of information and tips. Our driver Antonio was smooth and careful with the bus. All in all would book the trip again, as the scenery and what was included was stunning.

Full description

Leave behind the bustle of Milan and immerse yourself in a day of elegance, tranquility, and breathtaking natural beauty as you journey through the scenic wonders of northern Italy and southern Switzerland. Travel in comfort aboard a modern, air-conditioned coach as the landscapes transform from vibrant city streets to rolling green hills and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Como.

Your adventure begins with a private boat cruise across the dazzling expanse of Lake Como. Glide over serene waters flanked by charming villages, verdant gardens, and majestic alpine peaks. As you approach Bellagio, affectionately known as the “Pearl of Lake Como,” the picture-perfect views only grow more enchanting. Once ashore, enjoy free time to wander Bellagio’s cobbled lanes, discover boutique shops, or enjoy an espresso with lakeside views in a quaint café.

From Italy’s elegance to Switzerland’s charm, continue your journey to the pristine lakeside city of Lugano. Famed for its spectacular views and cosmopolitan flair, Lugano invites you to stroll through art-filled streets, visit the peaceful Chiesa di Santa Maria di Loreto, or browse luxury boutiques and indulge in world-famous Swiss chocolates.

As the sun begins to dip behind the mountains, relax aboard your return coach to Milan—your heart full of memories, your camera brimming with stunning photos, and your senses delighted by the magic of two countries in a single unforgettable day.
