Fun tour! - What a wonderful tour with Oleg! He was very knowledgeable about the area and shared many fun facts. He was easily our best tour guide for the week in Italy. We loved visiting Como and Laguna on the train- so much nicer than in a bus.

Recommended tour to see Lake Como and Lugano - Fantastic tour to see Lake Como and Lugano with no stress. The tour includes all transportation from the trains to boat ride. Oleg was an amazing tour guide giving the history of all the places we saw and recommending great local eateries. The tour begins from Milan station where you take a 40 min train to Lake Como. After about 30 mins you get on a boat for a 40 min tour around the lake seeing the famous villas, and even getting off for a quick 20 min walking stop at one of the villages. After you return you have over an hour to eat, shop, and walk around before getting back to the train station to head 40 mins to Lugano. A beautiful and quaint lakeside Swiss town, you’ll have just over an hour of free time here. Afterward it’s back on the train for the 1:20hr train straight to Milan. Completely worth it to see both towns and learn about the history!

Charming small group tour to Como, Italy & Lugano, Switzerland! - Had a lovely excursion to Lake Como (with boat ride and a bonus stop in Cernobbio) and Lugano in Switzerland. Love that they offer small group tours (we were five travelers total) that privilege public transportation (we took three trains). Our guide, Amato, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and clearly enjoys his work. Would book another trip with Abroads Tours in a heartbeat.

Great - It’s alright, lots of walking. Talking points hits and missed. Passport required but not needed. I have to run back to my hotel just to get it. But when we crossed the border to Switzerland nobody really inspecting it. But I got myself open a checking account in Switzerland. Yay
