    The guide Maria Erika was amazing, she was knowledgeable and kind and was always waiting for us. She recommended great places to eat, we loved teh private boat and not having to worry about the logistics of the trip. Lake Como and Switzerland at the end was amazing, 300% recommended.

    Upon arrival at the bus, I was having trouble finding my name on the printed list, Luccino the tour guide was rude and stressed out. His behaviour continued on the tour and was made worst by him constantly switching between Spanish Italian and English. I was disappointed and felt unsafe and uncomfortable as if I can going to get left behind, this instruction where unclear. Sorry not recommending this tour guide again.

  • What to expect from the Lake Como tour

    Meet your guide in the morning and hop aboard the A/C private coach for an experience unlike any other! Cruise past the street lights of Milan into the picturesque countryside of Italy and make your way to Como. Learn about the history of the land, see the former villa of Hollywood legend George Clooney and enjoy a snack aboard the restaurant on the boat; before we make it to the next stop, Bellagio.

    Known as ‘The Pearl of Lake Como’, Bellagio is a town famous for its resorts. Explore the city, sample the local food, shop or just stroll through the boulevards, you’re free to have your own adventure in the charming atmosphere. Once you’re done, it’s time to board the coach and head to the border.

    An hour away from Bellagio, the cross-country journey to the foothills of the snowy Alps is as scenic as it sounds. Called ‘The Monte Carlo of Switzerland’, Lugano is located on a beautiful lake of the same name. Known for its artistic culture thanks to ‘Passion and Crucifixion’, a painting by Bernardino Luini, housed in the Santa Maria degli Angioli Church, a quick walk away. The painting is of such artistic caliber, it is often compared to Leonardo Da Vinci! But on Sundays, the trip takes you to Varenna instead as Lugano's shops and restaurants are typically closed on Sundays.
