Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Milan, Milan, Lombardy

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.


Stop At: Lake Como, Lake Como, Lombardy

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.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Bellagio, Bellagio, Lake Como, Lombardy

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.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Lugano, Lugano, Canton of Ticino, Swiss Alps

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.

Great day 👏🏻 Enjoyed all of the places that were part of the trip. Amazing views of the lake Como, nice boat 🛥️ ride and the views of the mountains and all of the villages and villas. The town of Bellagio was beautiful and food was very good and pleasant. The town of Logon across the border in Switzerland 🇨🇭 was amazing as well. Strongly suggest taking this tour. 🙌
