Explore Milan, Lake Como & Florence

Welcome to Milan! Your private driver will greet you in the arrivals area and escort you to your luxurious hotel in the heart of Milan. Here, you’ll find yourself surrounded by Italy’s powerhouse of style, innovation, and heritage - a city that seamlessly blends the grandeur of old Europe with the energy of a modern metropolis. Once you’ve settled in, enjoy a private walking tour to stretch your legs after your flight. Your guide will lead you through Milan’s most iconic landmarks, including Leonardo da Vinci’s legendary masterpiece The Last Supper and the breathtaking Duomo, a pinnacle of Italian Gothic architecture. Ride the elevator to the rooftop terraces for a stunning 360° view of the city skyline before returning to your hotel for dinner and a well-deserved night’s rest.

Wake up and enjoy a leisurely breakfast - a daily indulgence throughout your journey. Today is yours to explore more of Milan and discover its distinct neighborhoods. Stroll through the stunning Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Italy’s oldest and most elegant shopping arcade, or wander the Quadrilatero d’Oro, Milan’s famed “Golden Rectangle,” where luxury boutiques showcase the best of Italian design. Savor local cuisine over an early dinner and take in the city’s vibrant energy as day turns to evening. Rest up tonight - tomorrow, you’ll journey to the timeless beauty of Lake Como.

After breakfast, your private driver will meet you at your hotel for your transfer to the breathtaking Lake Como - a destination celebrated for its dramatic alpine scenery, elegant villas, romantic lakeside towns, and tranquil ambiance. As the mountains plunge into the deep blue waters, the landscape unfolds like a masterpiece. The drive from Milan takes about an hour, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the views along the way. You’ll arrive in the central region of the lake, near the enchanting town of Bellagio, surrounded by the equally picturesque villages of Varenna and Menaggio. Upon arrival, settle into your beautiful hotel and unwind - perhaps with a moment on the terrace overlooking the water. Later, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the lakeside promenade and dine at a waterside restaurant. This is Italian dolce far niente - the art of savoring life slowly - at its very best.

Today is your final day in Bellagio, and by now you’ve discovered why it’s considered one of Italy’s most beautiful and romantic destinations. Begin with a stroll through the Old Town, where steep, cobbled stairways are lined with boutiques selling silk scarves, hand-painted ceramics, and olive wood crafts. Don’t miss Salita Serbelloni, the town’s most picturesque street, filled with charming cafés and artisan shops. Just a short lakeside walk from the center brings you to Villa Melzi, an elegant 19th-century villa surrounded by exquisite botanical gardens. Wander shaded pathways lined with azaleas, rhododendrons, and graceful sculptures, all set against breathtaking lake views. (While the villa itself is private, the gardens offer a peaceful and enchanting retreat.) If time allows, take a ferry to a nearby lakeside town for one last exploration. Tonight, enjoy a memorable farewell dinner by the water - tomorrow, your journey continues south to Tuscany and the magnificent city of Florence

Begin your day with a visit to the famous Duomo of Florence - officially the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore - the crown jewel of the city and one of the most extraordinary architectural achievements of all time. Enjoy a private one-hour guided tour of this magnificent church, followed by the option to climb to the top of the Dome for breathtaking views over Florence.

Afterward, take time to wander through the city’s charming streets. Stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, or “Old Bridge,” into the Oltrarno neighborhood, known for its authentic atmosphere and artisan workshops. Visit Santa Croce, the iconic church that houses the tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli. Then make your way to Palazzo Vecchio, the historic town hall located in Piazza della Signoria, a grand fortress-palace brimming with art and history.

Today, your driver will meet you at your hotel and transfer you to Florence Airport for your flight home - your heart and camera full of memories from this unforgettable Italian adventure, sure to last a lifetime.
