Loved every part of this tour! Lake Como was stunning, not far from Milan. The boat ride was the perfect way to enjoy it. We had free time to walk around Como, which was really nice. Lugano was gorgeous too, and the chocolate tasting? So good. Skipped the usual souvenirs and went straight for the sweets! We were a small group, and it felt really personal. This tour is a great choice for anyone visiting the area.
Such a great day trip! We were visiting from Canada and booked this tour ahead of time - super easy, and the price was fair. Totally worth it. The Swiss train was a big hit, especially with the kids (almost as much as the Swiss chocolate!). The views were amazing everywhere we went, and we got tons of great pics. Our guide was really helpful and gave us good tips for shopping and restaurants. Definitely one of the most chill and fun days of our whole trip.

Did you know that Lake Como turns purple in April?
Visit Lake Como in April to see beautiful purple wisteria in bloom. It grows along walls, gardens, and by the lake. The best places to see it are Bellagio, Varenna, and Villa Carlotta. The flowers smell sweet and make the whole area feel peaceful and romantic. Wisteria only blooms for a short time, so mid to late April is the best time to go.
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
- Bring your passport or ID card.
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking and exploring the towns. You will also go on a boat ride, so high-heeled shoes are not a good idea.
- Check the weather forecast. The weather can change quickly around the lake, especially in the mountains. Bring a light jacket or layers, even in summer.
- This tour, just like all our other Lake Como day trips from Milan, comes with free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance.
Meeting Point
You will meet your guide at Piazza Duca d’Aosta in front of the train station, next to the arch with the upside-down triangle. Look for a guide holding a stick with the Italian flag.
