This full-day tour lasts about 10 hours and begins with private transportation from Milan. The group first arrives in Como, where a local guide leads a walking tour through the town's medieval square, sharing stories about its art and history over the course of about an hour. Afterward, the tour continues to the village of Bellagio via the nearby village of Cadenabbia. Visitors have around two hours in Bellagio to walk its stair alleys lined with colorful houses, take photos, and optionally have lunch at local restaurants. Following Bellagio, the tour includes a one-hour private boat cruise on Lake Como. During the cruise, the guide points out notable villas along the lake such as Villa Carlotta with its architecture and botanical gardens, Villa Melzi surrounded by lakeside gardens, Villa del Balbianello known for appearances in Star Wars and Casino Royale, and Villa Balbiano featured in House of Gucci. The final stop is the Swiss town of Lugano, where guests have about an hour of free time to explore the city center and try Swiss chocolate. The tour is conducted in English and Spanish and includes a professional guide, air-conditioned vehicle, and walking tours in Como, Bellagio, and Lugano. Lunch is not included. Depending on lake conditions, the private boat may be replaced with public navigation. The sequence of Como and Lugano visits may change for itinerary reasons. A valid passport or EU ID is required to enter Switzerland, and most shops in Lugano are closed on Sundays.
