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.

O nosso passeio foi sensacional, Deus abençoou com um dia de sol, apesar do frio. A parte do passeio de barco é muito bonita, as cidades são bonitas também e o tempo de estadia em cada uma é suficiente. O guia Amato é o motorista Cláudio foram excelentes do começo ao fim do tour.
We had a great time in Lugano and Lake Como. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and the stop in Bellagio was cut short. I was pleased with city guide tours refunded partial cost. Overall, really nice tone.
El tour estuvo muy bien, realmente es una forma perfecta para conocer lindos lugares y pueblos, si no cuántas con la opción de una carro, ya que realmente los desplazamientos son bastante largos. Así que es una experiencia increíble y vale mucho la pena asistir a este tipo de Tour.
Foi maravilhosa. O guia Amato foi muito atencioso e cuidadoso com os turistas.
It was fantastic. Perfectly timed and our guide and driver were ecstatic and offering so much information. Two countries in one tour is incredible

Très belle excursion au lac de Côme, tout était bien organisé et les paysages sont magnifiques. Le seul point négatif est qu’en basse saison il n’y a pas de guide parlant français. De plus, le boîtier avec écouteur fourni n’a pas été utilisé pendant la journée, ce qui est dommage. La présence d’un guide francophone ou une meilleure utilisation de l’audioguide serait un vrai plus.
Easy to find the tour guide at meeting point but we were only trip from there it seemed. Guide was informative about journey & pointed out some things on way. We drove through edge of Como to get to drop off point for boat. The boat trip around the lake was pretty, guide pointing out interesting buildings. We got off at Bellagio and being Italian holiday, many places were closed but we expected that. Nice to walk around the pretty streets without hundreds of tourists. Back on boat for short trip across to coach then onto Lugano. Lovely little Christmas market by drop off and some lovely shops. Only 1hr stop here which doesn't give much time to see it. It was a long day and for us not much to do but great to see the pretty buildings without being too busy.
