Great experience - Stefano was an excellent tour guide. I went with family from the US and he spoke great English and took us to many great places around lake Como. Also super knowledgeable about the Lake Como and Milan areas and was very helpful. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see Lake Como for the day.

Would recommend! - We really enjoyed our tour. Lake Como and Lake Lugano were beautiful places to visit and it was nice to have some of our own time to walk around, enjoy the view, shop and eat - whatever we wanted to do. Najmeh was a great guide. Very informative, organized and kind. We were glad we did it, and highly recommend doing this!

One of the highlights of our trip! - We loved this trip! It was a small comfortable group. We travelled on a very comfortable train and were not rushed. We were able to spend enough time in both towns. We particularly appreciated Stefano sharing so much history on our journey. And he was very funny!! Definitely recommend. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Lovely trip - The tour was lovely. Stephano, our guide, was very attentive, informative and funny. We were able to have a good amount of free time in Como. The boat tour in Como is breathtaking. We could have had a little more time in Lugano. The tips provided by the guide on where to eat/visit were awesome as well.

Simply Amazing - We had one of our happiest days in this beautiful tour. We basically picked this tour because it was a smaller group (we were 11 persons only) which gave us more personalized feeling, the tour guide was very attentive to details, he was amazing and we learned alot from him. I loved how the tour had only 2 stops, which gave us enough time to explore the beautiful Lugano and the amazing lake como.
I recommend booking this trip if you want to spend a beautiful day away from the noise of Milan.

Highly recommend this tour! - Wonderful full day tour from Milan to Lake Como and Lake Lugano. Our guide Raji was great and very nice, she made sure we were all on the train rides, meeting up with easy, and she provided a lot of information about the area, along with recommendations during our free time at each stop. We chose one of her lunch suggestions while in Como and it had to be one of the best pasta places during my stay in all of Italy. The gelato at another place was a nice finish to our free time.
The boat ride on Lake Como was beautiful on a lovely sunny day and the chocolate tasting in Lugano was so yummy!
I highly recommend this tour for a relaxing fun day.

Well Organized & Enjoyable Tour! - A great tour that packed a lot in a day but nicely paced and with enough time to be on your own. Visited Como and Lugano from Milan which included 3 train rides and a boat ride that was very well organized. Lunch on our own in Como and also free time in Lugano was enjoyable. Stefano was a fun and informative guide. His recommendation for dinner at Bosco Verticale was 👌🏼. Highly recommend this tour!

A water-lover’s dream excursion - This was our first full day in Italy and what a way to spend it! Lake Como was spectacular. We only saw a very small part, but it was a 10/10. The only thing I’d change is the boat. Instead of riding the ferry/shuttle, I’d like to go back and do a smaller, private boat. The chocolate tasting in Lugano was delicious and we enjoyed walking around. Wish we had more time in both places. Our guide, Barbara, was very knowledgeable and it felt like we were doing this tour with a friend because she was so easy to be around. She was genuinely interested in offering helpful tips, while getting to know us. I think Barbara was with Abroads Tours. I absolutely recommend this tour.
