25 tours · €70–€1039 per person · ★ 4.8
The 25 day trips from Milan here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €70 per person for a coach day on Lake Como to €1039 per person for a private car to the Bernina train with hotel pickup. Lake Como fills much of the list, most versions with a boat crossing and some with a stop in Lugano; the other day tours from Milan go to the Bernina red train and St Moritz, Verona and Sirmione, Venice by train, the Barolo hills and Franciacorta, plus a guided hike above the lake.
A quick way to choose: decide how long a day you can take, because these tours run eight to fourteen hours door to door, leave early from the central station or the Duomo and get back in the evening. Lunch is left out on nearly all of them, the Swiss crossings need an original passport or an EU identity card, boat legs are cancelled in bad weather, and the small group trips often set a minimum age and refuse strollers.
