Had a perfect day. Our friendly guide Salvatori kept us informed during our journey. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and the boat trip was just perfect. Had plenty of time to explore both Bellagio and Lugano. Would highly recommend this tour

Full description

Embark on a tranquil escape from the urban hustle of Milan, journeying through the serene countryside of northern Italy and southern Switzerland in the comfort of an air-conditioned coach.

Revel in the scenic beauty of the Alpine views and the charming lakeside villas during this leisurely cruise. Upon reaching Bellagio, the "Pearl of Lake Como," enjoy ample free time to explore the town, indulge in shopping, or savor local delicacies at nostalgic bars and restaurants.
