5A Truly Memorable Experience with Luca
We had a truly memorable experience on this tour with Luca. He was extremely kind, attentive, and professional throughout the entire day. His experience and knowledge of the places we visited really added value to the tour and allowed us to appreciate the scenery and destinations on a much deeper level. Everything was very well organized, and we felt well taken care of from beginning to end. We are extremely satisfied with our choice of this tour and feel it was a wonderful addition to our stay in Milan. Thank you, Luca, for making this such a memorable experience! Highly recommended.
5A wonderful day from Lake Como to St Mortiz and The Bernina Express experience
We had the most wonderful day. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our guide, Julia was exceptional. She was friendly, informative and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend booking with Luca and if at all possible have Julia to lead the way. Thank you for a most special experience. Arlene and Dan
5What a great day!
Absolutely breath taking views!! Giulia was the most outstanding tour guide! Very personable and extremely knowledgeable about all the areas we traveled. She made sure to get to know a little bit about everyone on our trip and made it extra special. We would love to do it again!!
5Great experience!
This was such a fun and full experience! We explored a village on Lake Como for about 30 minutes and then spent another 30 minutes in St. Moritz, with several beautiful stops along the way for photos and restroom breaks. We had our 7-year-old son with us, and he thoroughly enjoyed himself! A huge shoutout to our guide, Paola, who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and kept my very inquisitive 7-year-old entertained. She was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and wonderful with our family. The company was fantastic and this was a great way to see the highlights of Lake Como and St. Moritz when traveling on a short timeline. Their communication was also excellent. We were running about seven minutes late, and after messaging GetYourGuide, our guide responded immediately and coordinated an alternate meeting point. Overall, an amazing experience! Highly recommend this company, especially for families!
5Jaw dropping scenery + chocolates
Jaw dropping train and van ride through the Swiss alps. Meet up was inside the Milan central station ticket gates for train side, then a transfer to the red train just south of the Switzerland border. Views from the red train were amazing and the dominant part of the experience. We stopped at 2 ski lifts to transfer back to our private van for the 30 min trip to St Moritz. We had 50 min in St moritz which we used to buy some AMAZING chocolates and a quick lake walk. Then we boarded van to drive to last train station. A total of 12 hours but throughly enjoyed , it was the highlight of our trip to Milan
5The best!
What a highlight! Our tour guide Raffaele was the best, friendly and knowledgeable and made the day perfect. The scenery was breathtaking at every turn and is a must to see, we will be back for sure!

About Milan
Milan is Italy's stylish northern powerhouse of fashion and design, with a soaring Gothic cathedral, Leonardo's Last Supper and canal-side evenings.
The Duomo, a forest of white marble spires and statues that took centuries to complete, dominates the city centre, and its roof terraces put you among the pinnacles. Beside it, the glass-roofed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II leads to La Scala opera house, and the Sforza Castle holds museums including Michelangelo's final sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà.
