Guidekin's take

A coach day from Milan that ferries you to Bellagio for free time on the lake, with an optional hour long boat ride from Argegno, then crosses into Switzerland for Lugano.

Round trip transfers and the Bellagio ferry are included, food is not, and a passport or EU ID is needed for the border. 4.84 from 1,007 reviews at €79 per person.

In our comparison: #9 of 15 in Lake Como Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
