We had an incredibly...

We had an incredibly memorable afternoon cruising around Lake Como. Our boat driver/guide Roberto was wonderful and gave us lots of information about the area and beautiful villas we passed. We asked to go swimming and Roberto took us to a wonderful calm spot for a dip off the boat. It was a very special afternoon for our family group and I’d definitely recommend to anyone!

Great boat, great tour, great company!

What an amazing tour. The boat is as beautiful as advertised. Alice was an amazing host! Easy to get in contact with, very friendly, and gave us a lot of great info about the lake. We only had 24 hours in Como and only time for a one hour tour, but she made it so worth it! And the company was amazing! We had a 9am reservation but they called us the day before and said the weather would be better at 12pm if we were available, and they were so right! It was raining at 9am but BEAUTIFUL at 12! The fact they were looking out for us like that to make sure we had an amazing experience was so nice! Can't wait to go back and book a longer tour!

Perfection!

We were in Como for our Son’s wedding at one of the villas. We booked the tour in advance to ensure the timing fit with our schedule. Our guide, Simone, was on time, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area. We were extremely pleased and impressed by this experience. Highly recommended everyone to choose this company and ask for Simone to be their guide.

EXCELLENT! It’s the perfect meeting location and the boat is beautiful. The captain was so knowledgeable and explained every detail of the villas.

Not to be missed!

Had a chance to spend the afternoon on a four hour ride around the lake with Stefano. It was truly spectacular. From the charming history of the lake to the insight only a 5th generation resident can share, we had the best of times. Really, 4 hours was about right. We could have rushed to see the whole lake in three with simple drive-bys but the depth and friendship was built with time. Thank you to Hercules (company) and Stefano, our wonderful Captain!

If you want to see Lake Como by water, THIS IS THE TOUR FOR YOU! We loved it!

If you will be visiting Bellagio or Lake Como, Italy, you MUST book a tour by water! Nick, our Captain for our private boat tour was so witty and well informed about everything on the Lake. He was born in Bellagio and lived there his whole life. He was able to share his lake with us in the way only a local could. We appreciated his kind and pleasant manner. 10 out of 10 - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A Highlight of Our Entire Italy Trip

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Without a doubt, this was the best boat tour we have ever done. My family and I had an incredible experience, and a huge part of that was Matteo. He was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about Lake Como, its history, and the beautiful villas along the shore, but he was also one of the kindest and most welcoming guides we’ve ever met. My mother had actually never been on a boat before, and Matteo made her feel completely comfortable and at ease. He was patient, friendly, and genuinely cared that everyone was having a great time. We also had a few transportation issues and arrived later than planned. Despite our delays and all the back-and-forth communication, Matteo was unbelievably understanding, flexible, and accommodating. He treated us with so much kindness and patience, which we appreciated more than he knows. The scenery was breathtaking, the boat was beautiful, and Matteo’s passion for what he does truly made the experience special. It never felt rushed, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable time. Out of all the tours we have done during our travels, this was our favorite. If you’re considering a boat tour on Lake Como, stop looking and book this one. You will not regret it. Thank you, Matteo, for giving our family such a special memory. We will be talking about this experience for years to come.

Highlight of our time in Lake Como!

My wife and I booked this as part of our honeymoon and it was the highlight of our stay at Lake Como. Pietro and Federica were great! They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and they seemed happy to accommodate our many photo requests haha. The sights were unbelievably beautiful, and it was fantastic to learn so much about Lake Como and its history and present-day life, and take a dip in the water. We would absolutely recommend this tour!

Lake Como Kayak Tour from Bellagio

Jennifer_S, Sep 2025

Ideal morning on Lake Como!

This was one of my top favorite things I did in my entire trip in Italy. I think it was a fun mix-up from just a normal boat ride on the lake - and the morning time slot was IDEAL weather (went mid-August). I thoroughly enjoyed this and would highly recommend it to everyone! It also was a decent amount of work and my shoulder, that has had issues / needed PT recently for, started bothering me pretty early on. I shared that with my tour guide and he quickly told me to let him know if it got too bad and he'd hook my kayak up to his, which gave me peace of mind.
