Overview

Three lakeside gems, two countries, one unforgettable day.

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Milan to Lake Como and start with a one-hour cruise on a boat reserved for our group, passing historic villas such as Villa Carlotta and Villa del Balbianello, framed by lush gardens and mountains.

Then explore Bellagio, the "Pearl of Lake Como", with about 2 hours to wander its cobblestone lanes, artisan shops and lake views.

Cross into Switzerland for Lugano, an elegant lakeside town, with free time to stroll the promenade or shop on Via Nassa.

Back in Italy, finish in Como, known for its charming old town, medieval walls, striking cathedral and long silk-making tradition, before returning to Milan by coach.

Four destinations in one day with a professional guide, and no trains, ferries or border crossings to plan yourself.

Bring your passport or ID card: the tour enters Switzerland.
