According to the tourist office and Lake Como tour guides, most of the tourists who go on Como lake on a day trip on their own or even with the tour from Milan end up wasting 4 or even 5 hours of their time in commuting, queues and tourist trap places. Of course, no one wants to waste money and the limited time you always have on holiday. The point is that the description of many tours is misleading, confusing or gives you false promises.

Como Lake is one of those ‘over-tourism’ destinations you may read about in newspapers and on websites. To avoid negative experiences, join our highly-rated Lake Como day trip from Milan, which has received nearly two hundred detailed five-star reviews from fellow tourists in the summer of 2023.

This Small Semi-Private Tour is for 12 people only and includes a Tasting of the World’s Best Chocolate in Lugano ( Switzerland), the walking tour in Como town and visit of one small hidden jem – nice non touristy village of Como lake.

On this one day tour from Milan you will see two different lakes in Italy and Switzerland, explore the culture and the traditions of two different countries and learn history and anecdotes about Como Lake and Switzerland.
You will have plenty of time for leisure, shopping, and taking photos. Our tour is designed without a rushed or tight schedule, ensuring that not a single minute of your precious time is wasted.

In the morning you will see where and how a big invention that we all use in our electronic devices was discovered more than two centuries ago; you will understand why Como lake attracts affluent and rich people from all around the world.
During our Boat Ride, we can witness famous villas where Gianni Versace used to live, where the “Ocean’s Twelve” movie was shot and where John Legend got married. And it’s only a small spoiler of Como lake cruise that we will have.

The second part of our day is about visiting the Swiss town of Lugano. We are sure that you will fall in love with the Swiss Alps and you will enjoy swimming in the crystal clear water of the spectacular Alpine lake of Lugano. Not to mention the tasting of the Best Chocolate in the World that was rewarded by dozens of awards. Discover the secrets behind Swiss wealth and prosperity.

An excellent day trip experience out of Milan! Stefano, our tour guide was knowledgeable on history and culture, extremely organized (with a prepared list of recommendations sent via WhatsApp for free time at each stop), and also just hilarious. Loved taking the train and getting to see Como and Lugano with a smaller, more intimate group as opposed to some larger bus tours with 50+ people.

Stefano was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and interesting, with plenty of suggestions when we had free time. It was great having a small group, Stefan was able to answer all out questions, transport was well managed. Lake Como was beautiful, and walking through the city was also beautiful.

I had a fantastic experience with our tour guide Stefano during the Lake Como and Lugano day trip. The pace of the tour was just right, allowing us good time to explore and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The convenience of traveling by train made the journey hassle-free.
