The tour was great specially with our guide Elena. She's very knowledgeable and very organized in managing a group of 60 people. Our driver Mr Klaus is a bit strict but he was a good and safe driver overall. I wish there was more time to spend on each area. if I was to do this again, I think I will just do the Lake Comp and Bellagio combo. There wasn't much to see on the Lugano trip and it was a longer drive and a shorter stay. Overall, it was a good tour!

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.

What to bring

All participants are required to carry their original passport/travel document with them to enter Switzerland. Participants from a non-EU country will need a Schengen Visa.

Dress code: Wear comfortable walking shoes and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. If you plan to visit churches, ensure your shoulders and knees are covered.
