The bus will trasfer you to Santa Maria delle Grazie Basillica, which is a wonderful site to walk through and is also home to Da Vinci's painting 'The Last Supper'.
Visit Lake Como, where the elegance and sophistication of nearby Milan spills over to infuse what is for many, the most spectacular of the Lake District’s towns. Sate your shopping appetite away from the big city, then relax on a two hour Lake Como cruise. You’ll dock in Bellagio, one of the Lake’s most famous towns, with time to explore the narrow streets or relax with an espresso or gelato. A guided walking tour of Como completes your day.
Your last full day is a treat for Shakespeare lovers, exploring beautiful Verona, with a guided walking tour including Juliet’s balcony and the Roman Arena. After lunch, go on to Sirmione, a famously romantic town on the shores of Lake Garda. Visit the Rocca Scaligera and the Roman Villa before returning to Milan.
