Lunch is not included, an original passport or EU ID is required for the border, and the cruise depends on lake conditions. 4.75 from 1,714 reviews at €95 per person.

From the guide

Do not miss the opportunity to visit two countries and two lakes on a full day tour starting from Milan!

Firstly you will reach Como where you will have free time to take photos of this charming city and discover the Medieval city center.

Once in Tremezzo, you will begin an Exclusive Boat Cruise to Bellagio, called the “pearl of Lake Como”.

During the 1-hour panoramic cruise, take your time to look around and see the harmony between nature and architecture. Drift past villas with their beauteous gardens amongst untouched nature.

Once in Bellagio enjoy some free time to soak up the laid-back atmosphere of this idyllic and relaxing place and to have lunch.

Your last stop will be the lake town of Lugano in Switzerland, where you will have free time to visit the city center and taste Swiss Chocolate.
