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.

Foi ótima! Preciso salientar q perdemos a embarcacao de Como para Bellagio, por nossa culpa e nosso atraso. Após um curto espaco de tempo Get your Ride ligou e deu tudo que tinhamos q fazer para alcancar nosso grupo, extremamente prestativa. Conseguimos chegar a Bellagio e nos juntarmos ao grupo. O Guia tb excelente, assim como o motorista, pois a estrada é de curvas.
Ricardo was amazing from start to finish. He taught us some words in Italian and so much history about Milan, Lake Como and Switzerland. Entire trip was about 8 hours in total when everything runs perfect and passengers are punctual. Depending how much you explore this entire trip is on average 8000 steps Bus driver was a pro having some tricky roads to navigate in the mountains
Am analizat multe variante înainte de a o alege pe aceasta. Am văzut în mai multe comentarii că Lugano nu merită văzut și că s-a stat prea puțin în Bellagio, dar mă bucur că am ales varianta cu amândouă! Ambele sunt foarte frumoase, dar orașele sunt destul de micuțe. am avut 2 ore în Bellagio și 1.5 ore în Lugano, ceea ce a fost suficient. Magazinele în aceste zone oricum au prețuri exagerate, special pentru turiști, deci nu am cumpărat prea multe lucruri, și am avut timp suficient să admir peisajele. Nu aș fi renunțat la Lugano doar ca să stau mai mult în Bellagio. În barcă a fost doar grupul nostru și aveam opțiunea să stăm în spate (în aer liber) sau înăuntru (când e cald, recomand afară la aer). În Lugano poate fi vizitată gratuit biserica unde este pictată "Cina cea de taină" de către ucenicul lui Leonardo DaVinci, Bernardino Luini.
More time needed to eat in both towns
Alice was an excellent and informative guide. The tour was well organised and timely. The views were breathtaking as promised. This tour is certainly a good idea if you don't want to wait around for a ferry in the busy periods!
Foi fantástica!
Tudo muito organizado. Horário cumprido à risca. entregou tudo que foi prometido. E a Sara, nossa guia foi de uma gentileza destacável. Passeio e locais exuberante. Recomendo a todos
Gostei de tudo em geral: pontualidade, guia muito disponivel e com muito conhecimento.
The trip was especially good because it began and ended within a 5 minute walk of our hotel, which a lot of other tours did not. The guide was better than average and the bus was very comfortable. The itinerary seemed very well planned.
