Personalized Tours & Trips in Italy & Switzerland Lakes

Take a boat across Lake Iseo from Sulzano to Monte Isola, a mountain island that feels like something from a storybook, and dock at Carzano where you can wander around the lakeside cafés. Ride the famous Bernina Express from Tirano to Pontresina through the Alps, seeing towering peaks and glaciers along the way, then hop on the Glacier Express from St Moritz to Andermatt which winds through spiral tunnels and the Rhine Gorge. You'll also do a cooking class and wine tasting in Franciacorta, take a historic steam train up to Brienzer Rothorn, try some chocolate in Lucerne, and wrap things up in Zurich.
