What to expect

There's no shortage of spectacular scenery on this tour taking in two magical lakeside towns. You'll set out from Lake Como to cross the border into Switzerland where you'll take a boat to Lugano. Once you have enjoyed the serene lakeside promenades and the sophisticated shopping here, we'll return to Como for a look around the historic lakeside city.

To begin with you'll transfer to Gandria where you'll hop onboard a boat to continue your journey to Lugano on the water. Bursting with grand architecture, chic boutiques and waterside parks, Lugano has lots to see. Visit top sights like the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, explore the Parco Civico, or hit the shops in the streets around Via Nassa.

For the second part of your day, you'll head back to Como, an elegant town packed with churches, parks and palaces. Piazza Cavour is a grand square overlooking the lake, a short walk from many of the major highlights such as the Cathedral with its fine interior, the Villa Olmo and the lakeside gardens.

    Not enough time to explore Como. We were not advised major building work taking place in Como which hampered visiting certain areas. Enjoyed Lugano and the boat trip.

    All the staff, both TUI and hotel staff were great. Location was fabulous and trips were very good. Hotel decor is a bit tired. Hotel food could be better especially evening meal.

    Our plane was delayed going out to Verona for 2 hours. This was too long. And on return to Manchester, our bags took over to hours to arrive. This is far too long and has made us rethink using the company again.
