What's the best time to take a 7-day tour from Milan?

April through October is peak season, with spring and fall offering the most pleasant weather for exploring. In April and May, or September and October, you'll find mild temperatures around 68-75°F (20-24°C) and smaller crowds at major sites. Summer brings temperatures up to 86°F (30°C), which can feel especially warm in the cities. One TourRadar traveler mentioned their summer trip "could only have been improved if the weather was a little cooler!"

Most tours explore Northern Italy's highlights like Lake Como, Lake Garda, Venice, Verona, and Florence.

Many tours include a trip on the Bernina Express train, which takes you through gorgeous Alpine scenery to St. Moritz in Switzerland.

Some groups even visit the Ferrari factory in Maranello, which TourRadar travelers often mention as a highlight.

You'll stay in 4-star hotels in city centers, close to main attractions and public transportation. In Milan, this might be the UNAHOTELS Galles Milano or Starhotels Ritz.
