About This Tour

Discover Lake Como and Lugano in a very small group of just 12 travelers. Travel from Milan with a licensed English-speaking guide, avoiding large buses, traffic, and rushed schedules. The itinerary focuses on quieter, lesser-known lakeside villages for a more relaxed experience. Reach Como in about 40 minutes, enjoy a scenic boat cruise, then visit Torno or Cernobbio, authentic villages with a local feel. After the village visits, enjoy free time in Como for a relaxed lunch. In the afternoon, cross into Lugano, Switzerland, with free time to explore the lakefront, town center, or enjoy Swiss chocolate. Optional swimming in Lake Lugano during summer. A smooth Italy–Switzerland day trip, designed for travelers who value quality and good organization.
