Itinerary

  • Milan (Pass By)

    The day tour starts when you meet your English-speaking guide in central Milan. From there, a private air-conditioned coach will take you across the border to Switzerland through stunning scenery and your guide will be on hand to fill you in on the sights.

  • Lake Como

    The best way to experience Lake Como is by boat. A relaxing private boat will allow you to view this tranquil landscape from the water. As you float by, your guide will point out famous villas used as locations for Star Wars and James Bond movies along with the homes of international stars like George Clooney. You’ll also have plenty of time to take pictures or just take in the view with a refreshment from the onboard restaurant. Arriving back in Milan in time for dinner, you won’t believe you managed to see so much in one day, and without ever feeling rushed.

    1 hour

  • Bellagio

    You’ll visit the stunning town of Bellagio, often called “the pearl of Lake Como”. Your guide can offer recommendations, but it’s up to you whether to go shopping, sample the local food or simply soak up the charming atmosphere.

    1 hour

  • Lugano

    Nestled at the foot of the Alps you’ll find Lugano, another lakeshore town. Also called “the Monte Carlo of Switzerland”, this Italian-speaking Swiss town is a playground for celebrities, athletes and entertainers, boasting luxury shopping and fine art, scenic views and a bustling city center. Visit the church of Santa Maria degli Angioli, where Bernardino Luini painted ‘Passion and Crucifixion’, regarded as Switzerland’s most significant Renaissance fresco. Head downtown to browse luxury goods and rich Swiss chocolate. Whatever you’re looking for, Lugano has something for you.

Beautiful lansdcapes

Published on Jan, 2025

Very nice tour even in winter. We were lucky as it was sunny the whole day. We especially loved Lugano and wish that we could have spent more time there. We also would have preferred more quite time to enjoy the surroundings - the tour guide kept talking non-stop. She did provide good information but felt the need to repeat everything at least 5 times (no exaggeration). Don't stop to eat at the first restaurant as it is touristy and very expensive. Have a walk around. Even in winter we found a few places open.

Lakes Como and Lugano

Published on Jan, 2025

It was a short hop to see the Alpine lakes and town from Milan. Our guide, Jo, was informatively smart and entertaining. She gave us a “words eye view” of lakes Como and Lugano and the towns surrounding them. It was never tiring and the boat ride through Lake Como was so much fun especially on a sunny winter day..

Bellagio, Lake Como, and Switzerland Day Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Taking this day tour in January was an incredible experience. The freezing temperatures added a crisp beauty to the snow-covered mountains and serene waters of Lake Como, creating postcard-worthy views. While it was unfortunate that about 90% of the shops were closed due to the off-season, I knew this would be the case before my trip. The trade-off, however, was well worth it—no crowds at all. The emptiness made the experience feel peaceful and intimate, allowing us to truly soak in the charm of the region. Our guide, Lisa (if I remember correctly), was a highlight of the tour. She was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the villa owners along the lake and pointing out famous movie filming locations, which added a fun and unique element to the day. Overall, I wouldn’t change a thing about this tour. The stunning scenery, the calm atmosphere, and Lisa’s expertise made it an unforgettable experience. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting in the winter who doesn’t mind sacrificing some shopping for unmatched tranquility.

Our tour guide, Sarah was incredibly knowledgeable about Italy. She provided many interesting facts and was eager to answer any questions from the guests. Very friendly.

Great tour of Como, Bellagio, and Lugano

Published on Jan, 2025

Very nice tour. Informative. Beautiful scenery. The bus driver was excellent. Our tour guide was knowledgeable. We had enough time to wonder around each town on our own. Great taste of the locations.
