The experience
A full day from Milan to Como, Bellagio and Lugano, crossing into Switzerland, with a private boat cruise on Lake Como.
The coach departs central Milan for Como, where free time along the lakeside promenade and historic town centre comes before a scenic Lake Como boat cruise to Bellagio, the “Pearl of Lake Como,” known for its cobbled streets, villas and gardens.
After lunch and free time to explore Bellagio’s shops and lakeside views, the group continues by coach into Ticino, the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland, for time in Lugano’s old town and Parco Ciani before the drive back to Milan in the evening.
