This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Lake Como and Switzerland in one relaxed day — with a very small group of just 12 travelers.

Travel from Milan with a licensed English-speaking guide and reach Lake Como in 40 minutes. From there, the day continues by boat and on foot through some of the lake’s most beautiful corners.

Visit Torno or Cernobbio, elegant lakeside villages with an authentic atmosphere, then enjoy 2 hours of free time in Como to stroll the historic center, relax along the waterfront, and enjoy lunch.

In the afternoon, cross the border into Lugano, Switzerland, where palm trees meet alpine mountains and the lakefront promenade invites an easy walk through the old town.

Where else can you have lunch in Italy, then spend the afternoon in Switzerland — enjoying Swiss chocolate by the lake or even a refreshing swim in the clear alpine water during summer?

All train and boat tickets are pre-booked and perfectly timed, so you don’t need to worry about connections or queues — just show up and enjoy the day.

  • Como
    Discover the charming town of Como, one of the oldest towns on Lake Como. Walk through the historic center with your guide, learn about the town’s rich past, and hear stories about famous local families, artists, and celebrities connected to Como. Enjoy the elegant lakefront, historic squares, and relaxed atmosphere before continuing your journey.
  • Pass by Villa Erba during the boat cruise, a historic lakeside villa in Cernobbio featured in Ocean’s Twelve starring George Clooney, and in Lavazza commercials. (pass by)
  • View Villa d’Este from the lake, the world-famous luxury hotel in Cernobbio that has hosted Hollywood stars like Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, and George Clooney. (pass by)
  • Lugano
    Discover the beautiful Swiss city of Lugano, located in the Italian-speaking region of Ticino. Surrounded by mountains and a sparkling lake, Lugano combines Swiss precision with a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. Enjoy plenty of free time to stroll along the lakefront, shop in the city center, taste famous Swiss chocolate, or — during summer — take a refreshing swim in the clear waters of Lake Lugano. Learn how Switzerland became one of the most prosperous countries in the world, with insights into its history, economy, and unique way of life.
  • Cernobbio
    From Como, embark on a scenic boat cruise and enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Como while passing by some of the most stunning villas along the shoreline. From the water, admire famous villas featured in Ocean’s Twelve and the elegant lakeside villa once owned by Gianni Versace — icons of luxury and international style.
  • Torno
    Torno is a small pedestrian village where you can enjoy a peaceful, relaxed stroll. It is never too crowded, giving you time to slow down and experience a typical Lake Como village away from mass tourism. With its cobblestone streets and charming old houses, Torno feels like a step back in time — when daily life was closely connected to the lake, fishing, and local artisanal traditions.
  • During the boat cruise, admire Villa Le Fontanelle from the lake, the former lakeside residence of Gianni Versace. This elegant villa is one of the most iconic symbols of Lake Como’s luxury lifestyle and international glamour. (pass by)
