    The tour was great and as advertised. There were some shady spots at the back of the boat and great views from the front. Luca was an amazing captain and Francesca was very helpful arranging the tour and providing information before boarding.

    The trip was great and the captain, Fabio, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and just a lot of fun.

    Great private tour

    Personal tour

    Leonardo was a great guide. He took us half way up the lake and showed us the most beautiful villas on the lake

    Great afternoon on the water!

    Ashley_A, Jun 2025
    Amazing experience! Our tour guide and boat captain (Luca) did an excellent job of driving our group around to the most iconic spots to stop and explain their meaning (but didn't make too many stops). We got to enjoy a beautiful day on the lake -- and even swam for a bit. A boat cruise is a MUST DO when in Como!

    Awesome time

    Cameron_T, Oct 2024
    A boat tour is a great way to see Como. Fabio and Luca were both awesome. I can't give 5 stars to places with egregious additional fees though. It's mentioned in the description, they ask for another £20 in cash for "fuel". Include it in the up front cost, or don't at all.

    Great tour -- would highly recommend!

    Gigi_J, Oct 2024
    Our guide, Fabio, made the trip a memorable experience despite the inclement weather! He was so kind, funny and knowledgeable about the history of the area, including the lake and villas. We appreciated that he shared his personal stories as a native of the area.

    Great Boat Tour

    Louisa_P, Aug 2024
    Our Guide was very informative and friendly saw all the famous houses. The only thing I think you should mention is to bring swimmers

    Fun with a Few Tips

    Timothy_G, Aug 2024
    It was a fun trip, although the boat is a bit small. Luckily there were only 3 couples. The captain was relatively friendly and provided us with good information about the villas and houses around the lake. Very interesting to see all of them and learn a little about each. The swim was nice, although a little short and we could have used something to float with. Also, we wasted 20 minutes just off the dock filling out paperwork, while we could have done this beforehand. It wasn’t really a two hour tour.

    Beautiful and Fun Tour around Lake Como

    JohnRaphael_R, Jul 2024
    If you are looking for a fun yet relaxing boat ride around Lake Como, we'd recommend this one! Fabio (our boat captain) was not only very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas near Como, he was very friendly and funny. We enjoyed viewing many of the great villas from the water, sipped on a nice glass of Italian wine and even had a chance to swim in the lake. The tour itself was exactly two hours, enough time to relish in the beauty of the lake (boating up to Nesso) but still enough time to travel around various points on the lake. We also enjoyed getting to know the other people (two other couples) on the tour and found this to be a memorable part of the experience as well.

    Great views, rushed and distracted.

    Zachary_R, Jul 2024
    We paid for 2 hours and got 1.5. We never got drinks as promised on the description. He was eating chips and talking on the phone several times during the tour. There was good views and he had funny moments , but you could tell he was not truly engaged in the tour and paying $600 to get 30 min cut off and no drinks on the boat was disappointing .

    Best experience in Como

    6ntbm9nyfk, Jun 2024
    Great fun with our boat mates and our guide. Highly recommend the 2 hour tour, not too short not too long. Great all around! Our best experience on our short trip to Lake Como by far.

    My dream trip

    Yousr_H, Jun 2024
    The whole trip was just so fascinating! I have always wanted to go on boat and here I was sitting in the beautiful lake

    Wonderful experience!

    Nadine_D, Jun 2024
    We were in Como for just one day. It was a great relaxing experience to see the island and hear some of the history. My family really enjoyed it !

    Great to get up close and personal. The guide was a bit cocky, but he knew his material, the boat was clean and new, and it was a great experience.

    Boring and late

    Taylor_F, May 2024
    Me and my best friend, two girls in college, were so excited for this but were quickly disappointed. It left twenty minutes late and came back ten minutes early so we lost 30 minutes of only a 2 hour tour. It was also pretty boring, no music, no drinking, just driving from place to place in silence and every ten minutes he would stop to talk about the history. Not bad just not worth the price.

    Loved the beauty and history of all the Villas

    Michael_B, May 2024
    Our driver and tour guide Luca was excellent. I would highly recommend this boat tour. What beauty!!!

    Great views

    Lane_G, Apr 2024
    We loved that it was small and intimate so we could meet great people and still enjoy the views. The boat captain gave us a bit of history on the villas around the lake and stopped for a glass of wine on the boat was magical. We had to take off our shoes to protect the interior of the boat and it was very cold the day of our trip so wear warm socks if your weather might be cold. If you want to go see specific things, we recommend booking a fully private boat. Also, there’s a 20€ per person fuel charge that is not included and in the fine print so bring cash.

    Must do if you go to Como.

    Michael_W, Oct 2023
    Superb boat trip and well worth the money, you really wouldn't have been there if you didn't go on the water. Must do if you go to Como.

    No Bellagio!

    Helen_C, Oct 2023
    We really wanted to see Bellagio, but was told when we were on the boat it was too far out. Should have told us that in their tour description so that we can make an informed decision whether or not to go.

    Giovanni was really friendly, and very relaxed. Was on time, easy to find. Well worth doing. The lake is beautiful and there is much to see

    Great tour

    Giovanni was great! He showed us different sites and history of the lake. I would recommend this tour

    Beautiful

    Seeing the mountains and George Clooney”s home and Giovanni Versace home! Fascinating ❤️👍Also the boat driver was very knowledgeable!!

    Great short tour if lake Como

    Melissa_S, Aug 2023
    Great few hours on the water but definitely only; f weather is good. Be prepared to get a little wet if it is choppy and windy. Captain was informative. Would recommend.

    Great time!

    Henriette_V, Aug 2023
    The captain Philipe was a "no nonsense" entertaining and fun person. We had a very nice trip. He showed us many of the highlights around the Lake Como.

    Best 💶💶 I’ve spent!

    Jovy_S, Aug 2023
    If you only have 1 day in Lake Como, you need to do this tour. Our captain was amazing. The weather was perfect. The best way to explore Lake Como!

    Great tour around Lake Como!

    Tracy_H, Aug 2023
    We had a great time out on Lake Como with our guide Patrizio! He was informative, funny and happy to chat - just don’t ask him about George Clooneys villa 🤣 Highly recommend!

    Great Tour with the best guide

    Francisco_G, Aug 2023
    This was a great experience especially given that amount of time the tour was set for. Our tour guide Giovanni, made the whole experience pleasurable. He was very knowledgeable about the area and delivered that information in a very personable way. Giovanni cracked a few jokes, played good music and spent just the right amount of time at each stop. We are so pleased with the entire experience and were pleased with the amount of time we chose. I know that there are a few more tours with longer time frames but this one was just right.

    Great Tour!

    Josef_S, Jul 2023
    Giovanni was a fantastic guide and photographer! We had the best time and would highly recommend. It was totally worth it
