Combining the beautiful Lake Como and Lake Maggiore with chic Milan, this Grand Tour explores some of the highlights of northern Italy and Switzerland, including a jaw-dropping journey on the Bernina Express. 

Explore Italy's most fashionable city, Milan, along with two of its most famous lakes on a Grand Tour.    

Starting in Milan, the perfect blend of old and new, the city offers a unique window into Italian culture - a complete contrast to the more traditional cities further south. And yet it holds something to interest everyone, from world-class art galleries and theatres to incredible architecture and amazing restaurants serving everything from international cuisine to traditional Italian classics with a modern twist.

Then it's on to Lake Como, known for its dramatic natural scenery, it's a chance to breathe the fresh air. While we're so close to the border, we'll take the opportunity to visit Switzerland aboard one of the world's most iconic railways, as well as explore another of Italy's famous lakes, Lake Maggiore.

This Grand Tour is perfect for travellers who want the best of both worlds: a break in an historic city with a modern edge and time to explore the quaint towns and villages along the edge of Lake Como.
