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.

No me gustó que a la media hora de haber salido paramos media hora para nada. Me hubiera gustado más tiempo en Bellagio. El tiempo en Lugano estuvo bien. La guia Mara un placer, contaba todo y más. Capaz le agregaría una vueltita por Como
Beautiful views and the guide was generally helpful. Bus was comfortable but the lake cruise was highly disappointing- we were piled into a ferry with scratched/cloudy windows so we couldn’t see any of the landmarks promised. And couldn’t hear the guide. The boat was full of locals going about their normal days, understandable but prevented us from being able to be in areas where we stood a chance of seeing anything. Strolling through the towns and enjoying a beautiful lunch were the highlights.
It was our favorite thing we’ve done in all of Italy in our two week stay.
Niezapomniane widoki. Naprawdę piękne miejsce warte zobaczenia.
Amato really was perfect as our tour guide and Antonio as well as our driver. Bellagio and Lugano are beautiful towns and the boat ride was amazing :)
Tolle Tour mit einer großartigen Reiseführerin! Alice hat alles sehr interessant erklärt und die gesamte Organisation mit Bustransfer und Bootstour war super. Alles war sehr sehenswert – ich würde es jederzeit wieder machen.
Absolutely stunning day! It was a long one, but completely worth every penny. We got to see so much of Lake Como, honestly, without a car or organised tour, we wouldn’t have been able to visit even half of what we did. The boat ride across the lake was a real highlight, offering breathtaking views and making the whole experience even more special. Bellagio was absolutely beautiful, with charming streets, incredible food, and some amazing gelato. Lugano was just as stunning, we visited the gate, picked up some delicious chocolate to take home, and of course enjoyed even more gelato. It was a full day with plenty of walking, but truly worth it. Just a beautiful, memorable experience from start to finish.
Witam, bardzo podobała nam się organizacja wycieczki, szczegóły miejsca spotkania były bardzo dokładne. Transport i kierowca świetny. Nasza przewodniczka Marina bardzo ciekawie opowiadała o tym co zobaczymy i przybliżała nam ciekawostki miejsc które widzieliśmy, a w dodatku ma świetne poczucie humoru. pozdrawiamy.
I absolutely do not recommend this trip. I advise staying away from it as much as possible. They are not helpful at all; their only goal is money.
