Three-day guided rail group tour from Switzerland to Milan

Milan - Group tour, a rail journey with railtour suisse

railtour suisse runs this three-day, two-night guided group tour by second-class train from Switzerland to Milan, Italy, priced on a half-fare basis from 455 Swiss francs per person. The package includes two nights with breakfast in a 3-star Milan hotel. Day 1 brings a guided walking tour of the largely pedestrianised city centre, taking in the Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the Piazza della Scala and the Sforza castle. Day 2 offers a choice of themed guided tours, such as Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper or the La Scala theatre and museum. Day 3 is a guided cycling tour along Milan's back roads before the return train to Switzerland. This tour suits groups who want a fully guided introduction to Milan without arranging their own sightseeing, though lunches, dinners and any themed-tour entrance fees are not listed as included.

What to know before you look closer

  • The train fare is priced on a 'half-fare basis,' which assumes travellers hold a Swiss half-fare (Halbtax) card; confirm with railtour suisse what the fare is without one.
  • The included list covers only the return second-class train and the hotel with breakfast; lunches and dinners are not listed as included.
  • Day 2 offers a choice of specific themed tours, such as the Last Supper or the La Scala museum, but the evidence does not say whether entrance fees or reservations for these are included in the price.
