Lake Como & Lugano: Private Tour, Two Countries in a Day
Discover the beauty of two countries in one unforgettable day on this private tour from Como to Lugano. Begin in the heart of Como with a guided walk through elegant squares, medieval alleys, and the magnificent Cathedral, where Italian charm and history come alive. Then enjoy a panoramic train ride across the border into Switzerland, arriving in the picturesque city of Lugano—set between mountains and lake. Your private guide will lead you through the old town, Piazza della Riforma, and the Romanesque Cathedral of San Lorenzo with its sweeping views. Take a relaxing break for lunch at a lakeside restaurant before embarking on a serene one-hour cruise across Lake Lugano, surrounded by Alpine scenery. End the day with a comfortable return train journey to Como, carrying with you memories of art, culture, and landscapes that bridge two worlds. Attention! - passport required for border crossing.

Where this sits in Lake Como
Lake Como is about 1 hr 18 min by road from Milan Malpensa Airport. Mountains dropping into water, with villages and villa gardens along the shore and ferries doing the work of roads. Bellagio is the postcard; Varenna and Menaggio are easier to stay in.
