Already exhausted the shops of Milan and want a change of scenery? Take an easy trip across the Italian border into Switzerland for a day of shopping at the famous FoxTown outlets. Shop till you drop at more than 130 stores, with discounts of up to 70% off the recommended retail price. Enjoy convenient, comfortable round-trip transport by coach on your independent shopping tour to the FoxTown Factory Stores in Mendrisio from central Milan.
Board an air-conditioned coach in central Milan and relax on the quick 1-hour drive north across the Italian border into beautiful Switzerland. Arriving in the city of Mendrisio, you'll be dropped off at the FoxTown Factory Stores for a day of bargain shopping to your heart's content. Enjoy discounts on designer brands such as Gucci, Prada, Versace, Salvatore Ferragamo, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Trussardi, Adidas and Nike. There are more than 130 stores to choose from, tailoring to everyone's tastes and budgets. After engaging in some serious retail therapy, perhaps head for the beauty salon for some pampering.

At the end of the day, pack up your shopping bags and hit the road for the 1-hour drive back to Milan.
This was a nice day trip! There are definitely some good bargains to find if you look carefully. The Swiss restaurant was really pleasant and you feel like you're in the countryside of Switzerland...make sure to eat here!

We had tons of fun with Foxtown Outlet Shopping tour. Booking via the app was fuss free as to the actual trip itself. We're at Largo Cairoli early, had enough time for a coffee and catch the 10am departure. Issue with the language barrier - NOT clear that voucher MUST be exchanged for a ticket!

Excellent Shopping Trip, bus was very comfortable and the bus arrived early so you weren't left standing about. I would highly recommend this trip, only thing that I would like to point out was that after the trip when we arrived back in Milan, it was raining and there were other buses returning at the same time and it was quite crowded. I unfortunately was the victim of an attempted pickpocket, I felt my bag move and when I checked my purse was nearly out of my handbag, the pickpocket was a young girl who looked like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. I was extremely lucky and I just want to warn other people to be careful so that the their shopping trip is not ruined.

Things are too expensive at Foxtown. Love the punctual and comfortable bus though.
Review by: cindy, June 2017
This was terrible. I wish that I had not wasted my precious time going to a designer outlet. We left the foxtown outlet early and caught a train back to Milan. I would have been better off just shopping in Milan. Very Disappointing

Enjoying so much

I went for both the Serravalle and Foxtown Shopping tour and I would say between the two, Serravalle is the better one. Fox town is quite a huge mall, with a rather odd layout, but not a lot of shops to be honest. I was done shopping in just 2 hours or less, and had to spend the remaining 4 in a restaurant. Also, restaurant options are very limited. On the upside, it is in a mall, hence not freezing during winter but I think the tour operator should state clearly that all prices are in Swiss Franc and not Euros as we thought we could pay in Euros when we were there.

Had to get the tickets at the Milan Visitor Center first, it would be good if this was written in the instructions to avoid last minute scrambles and long queues. Otherwise the tour was great, bus reached foxtown on time, left on time and reached Milan on time as well. Great time estimation.
Review by: Rose, October 2016
The trip was great, just enough time to hit the stores we were interested in. You need to ensure you know what stores you want to visit as the mall is very big and can be confusing,

We enjoyed ourselves very much, we didn't buy much but the shops had good bargains
Review by: renwizzle, August 2016
The coach and staff were lovely, the shopping centre itself was poorly laid out and we spent a lot of time consulting maps to find our way around. The sales were nothing to write home about, all the high end luxury items had like maybe 10 off so were still over 400 Euro. Managed to score one bargain, a Calvin Klien Leather Jacket down from 600 Euro to 130 Euro.
Review by: ddowns, August 2016
good selection of shops, but not a mad shopper and time was too long for me. Please note that actually go into Switzerland and need to have your passport.
Review by: Krishna Jema F, July 2016
Really good, would go again got loads of bargains better to go in the sales season
Review by: Sarah Michelle L, June 2016
Good trip for us to shop. An hour plus away from Milan and fuss free. Just hop on the bus!
Review by: Sandra Lynn C, June 2016
The foxtown tour was great. Very great high end stores. Perfect place to shop. Great comfortable bus
Review by: Deborah A, June 2016
Journey was good, motorway very blocked so we took the scenic route via Como which was very impressive. Foxtown is just a big outlet centre, shops are clinical looking and empty and not many bargains to be had. I purchased a few items but could not find anything exciting or authentic to the area except for Lindt chocolate which we can all purchase at home!_br/_ It was a good experience, but the shopping was not outstanding or authentic or great value.
Review by: Lee Sim T, May 2016
Was disappointed as I have been to better shopping outlets.
Review by: Agnes A, April 2016
Loved it. I had been to Foxtown by train the previous year. It was tiring. With this tour, it was very comfortable . All we had to do was relax and within a short time we were at our destination. As soon as we got back to Milan, as I got down from the bus, I saw a friend of mine , whom I had not seen in 32 years. What a miracle.She lives in England and was on vacation too. If I hadn't taken this tour, I would never have bumped into my long lost friend. Reunited after 32years. I recommended the tour to her and she took it the next day. She really loved it. The shops are lovely and there are great deals!!!

Fantastic tour...I enjoyed it...the driver was so good to remind meto prepare my camera for the view of Lake Como...I bought a nice purse in Foxtown Outlet.

Definitely worth the trip! Smooth and comfortable ride. Perfect time in the centre.

Careful diver, smooth ride, efficient service!
Review by: PL, December 2015
Lots of time to do shopping and good brands at discounted prices. We'll worth the trip if you are planning to buy good branded merchandise.
Review by: CATHERINE S, October 2015
Exactly what we expected. we were able to purchase designer pockets books for about half the price of the shops in Milan and we were able to sit down to an authentic swiss fondue lunch! Everyone was pleased. My only complaint is that the time left at the outlets could have been shortened by and hour or two

disaapointing
Review by: Arthur, August 2015
Hussle free shopping experience. Just step on the bus to bring you to the shopping outlet. The tour gave sufficient time for shopping.
Review by: Taty A, June 2015
Description as per the pictures
Review by: Leonard H, June 2015
It was not a tour but a bus ride to the outlet mall. It had no tour guide and the bus driver did not answer no questions and was very unfriendly. Tour did not meet my expectations.
Review by: Janet G, May 2015
Unfortunately didn't make it as it was the milan marathon, all the roads were shut and we didn't get to the bus in time :
Review by: Leah, May 2015
Very well organised tour. The outlet itself was great and I thought was really good value. Lots of variety and good prices (much cheaper than I could get at home!)
Review by: A L, February 2015
Description of the says that the tour last 6hrs15mins. This is inaccurate as the tour actually lasted 8hrs15mins. This resulted in having us to cancel all our plans we had. Please change the duration in the description.

Amazing experiance! Lovely views of lake como on the way, so have your camera ready :)
Review by: maggietam_ca, December 2014
Due to low season, there was no traffic and we arrived at the outlet in an hour. But there were no sales in November. We got plenty of time to shop around.
Review by: Bee San N, December 2014
The bus started on time and the ride was smooth. The shopping mall is big with big brands like Prada and Gucci. However, do be prepared to change Swiss currencies if you are buying anything.
Review by: Kristine H, October 2014
If you are looking for cheaper than normal 'couture' for adults then this is the place to go._br/_
If you are looking for clothing/shoes, etc for a young teenager, this is NOT the place to go._br/_
Organisation and bus ride was fine. But my daughter and I had pretty much 'done' the entire outlet centre within 1.5 hours (leaving us 2.5-3 hours to utilise)._br/_
I suggest that you go to the Foxtown website and check out exactly which stores are there to be sure it will cover your requirements.
Review by: Katherine O, August 2014
Bus drive was fine. It's a pretty long time at the centre. Could have been an hour or two less. The driver was a nice guy. Thanks!
Review by: Rijamon, May 2014
You need to be prepared prior to heading off on this trip by checking prices and sizes. We did get some bargains.

Easy trip, wonderful views on route, plenty of shopping
Review by: Wei Yi A, February 2014
It was hassle-free from the moment we booked our bus journey from Milan to Foxtown via Viator. The bus driver was friendly and helpful in explaining how tourists can obtain the tax-free stamps in the Swiss border on the way back from our shopping. Great experience overall!
Review by: Aniza M, January 2014
Value for money if u don't mind previous season stuff
Review by: Brendan, January 2014
Its just a bus ride your paying for, bus was good, on time and left on time. Was funny to see people who were told to be on the bus by 7pm, running behind the bus, when there in another country than there starting destination.
Review by: Robert T, January 2014
Everything went to plan, no problems. If you want a good seat from Milan get there early. We were there 30 minutes early and there were already people on the bus. Watch out for queue jumpers on the way back. You will still need plenty of cash or a card with a healthy balance if you are planning on buying something. Foxtown is a whole lot bigger than we expected.
Review by: NUR HISHAM R, December 2013
Tour office is nearby a metro station. The coach bus is comfortable and on time. Shopping experience was good. Definitely a hassle free way to visit Foxtown. Would definitely recommend this tour. Good job.
Review by: Erika G, December 2013
Loved the tour!!
Review by: Jenny Ngu, December 2013
It takes 1 hr 15 min to get there. Not very big outlet mall but there are quite a few high end branded stores there. Not many choices in term of dining. I don't mind to take this tour again in the future. I did not regret i took this tour.
Review by: Christina V L, December 2013
Bus left on schedule. Convenient and comfortable ride.
Review by: Mariza d, November 2013
The price are not that great and variety of shops not as many as in florence outlets . Definitely not coming back .
Review by: Rickstine, November 2013
The actual shopping trip was a lot of fun. The Italian brands are cheaper at the other Italian outlets even though our pounds are worth more here!
Review by: Jonas C, October 2013
It was worth the trip but so little time. Bring a lot of money, there are a lot of things to buy. There is also a casino.
