6 tours · €91–€770 per person · ★ 4.8
For a day trip from Lake Como, we read every listing and kept 6 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €91 per person for a Lugano and Bellagio outing with a boat tour to €770 for a private Bernina trip. The small group rail tour covers your train and boat tickets for a Lake Como to Lugano day trip, with free time to explore both towns.
Check the option before you book: a Lake Como day trip by bike only includes the bike when you select the rental option. The private Bernina trips differ on more than price: the guided version excludes train tickets, while the version with first class train travel includes a driver but no tour guide. Lunch is excluded throughout, so leave room for it in your budget. The best reviewed day trips from Lake Como come first below.
