Fantastic boat trip led by Davide from “Around the lake”! Loved every moment. Steady driving, nice safe boat, good music which created a pleasant vibe and some guiding but not too much - perfect for us four adult friends. We booked a trip which was one hour boat ride, an hour in Belaggio and an hour back to Como. Would love to return and repeat!

This was a good size boat that held 12 people with 300 hp Suzuki engine. 2 1 hour trips at speed in early November was cool, but Peter our captain did a great job. Do this trip in September not November. We had a great time and Peter was an excellent captain.
No protection provided from cold autumnal wind even though it was sunny. Being buffeted by cold air as we sped along the lake diminished our enjoyment of the fine views. Guide/ driver provided minimal information about what we were seeing.
Great excursion with “Dave”, informative & extremely helpful. Ran on schedule & very professional.
He handled a very difficult passenger who was demanding that we stay ashore for longer despite ignoring the stated duration in the tour description that he was informed of prior to purchase & completely ignoring the other passengers requirements or timetables. Dave was very patient and accommodating in this situation.
We had an incredible time touring Lake Como. Captain Fabio was the perfect host and guide. We learned about the area, just and celebrities that stay in the area. The beauty of the area is almost indescribable. Pictures do not do it justice. The stops in Bellagio and Varenna were the perfect amount of time. Wonderful tour!
Everything about this tour was perfect. Small group, comfortable transportation, charming driver/guide, and wonderful food and wine at both wineries visited. The first winery (Corbucci) we tasted at least 8 wines and the owner gave us a bottle of their Chianti to enjoy later. At 2nd winery our tastings were done outside overlooking the vineyard with explanations about the grapes used in various varieties and the vineyard plots used. The final wine was grown in a very small plot from vines about 125 years old—-incredible wine!
Overpriced for a basic taxi ride. The ferry would be a much cheaper option( about a fifth the price), and only belong allowed an hour at each of the 2 stops left barely enough time to walk through( quickly) each village let alone enjoy a meal with the views or shop a bit. They move people well but like an assembly line when loading and unloading, not for those with any mobility issues. A water or small glass of wine 5 minutes before finishing not much of an extra. 6 hours would have been okay as would have allowed 2 hours each at the 2 stops. Hard to recommend.
Great experience! Worth it! The man was very fun and nice and we had plenty of time to eat lunch and dessert , just note it’s a high speed boat so girls tie your hair lol
Trip was delayed by 2 hours and arrived late so affected plans for the rest of day , but was a fun time
A bit chaotic to board. Took a lot longer then expected. We had to leave due to my wife being pregnant on a hot summer day and did not do the tour.
We had 12 people on the boat. There was enough room for everyone. It was an inflatable boat with two powerful engines on the back. The ride was a little rough and I would caution anyone who has back problems or neck problems. The guide was nice and very helpful..
This was brilliant! The rep was at the boarding point and was friendly and helpful. When our boat arrived we were called onto it and all went smoothly. An hours ride on the speed boat took us up the lake and we had 2 stops, both an hour each. Not enough time for lunch but plenty of time to look around, have a drink and ice cream. The driver of the boat seemed a nice guy and clearly knew what he was doing. A great way to see the lake and visit other places. We all enjoyed it and well worth the cost (which isn’t cheap) but definitely worth it. We all agreed it was the best part of our few days in Como.
Really excellent tour - short times at stop offs but long enough! The boat tour was excellent and guide friendly and fun.
We have had the best day ever! Fabio was incredible from start to finish. We were well looked after, he took us to lots of different locations around the lake and explained everything fantastically. The boat ride was fantastic and we would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you Fabio!
They delayed the your by at least an he & did not use the viatour app to notify me. I waited in the rain for 45 minutes at the dock and the person from the your company was standing under the shelter of a nearby bar & didn’t even come across the street to tell me

We called you and even sent a message; there is no point in ruining our work with pointless reviews. No one told you to wait out in the rain; we were waiting for the rain to stop, and you were aware of that.
This was just a boat ride on the lake. If you want a tour with history and information, this is not it. Our driver picked us up in an uncovered pontoon boat, smoked a cigar and played loud music as we cruised the lake and pointed out a few famous people’s homes. I expected more for the price tag we paid.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
But why do you have to leave a two-star review and ruin people's hard work? If you wanted a different experience, you should have booked a private, customized tour.
There was a good amount of time at each place. Great boat ride with a few stops at famous houses along the way.
It was a great way to see Bellagio AND check out interesting landmarks around the lake! The boat was incredibly clean. The staff was knowledgeable and communicative from start to finish.
I thought that the boat ride was amazing, but I wish they had told us more about the history. Overall great experience.
The tour itself was good. We made a few stops along the way up to show this is the Versace mansion, the George Clooney mansion, the starwars house. The hour at bellagio was perfect. Came back and then made a few more stops on the way.
I was a solo traveler and when no one else booked, they threatened to shorten the excursion to just one hour. Fortunately at the last moment some other guys booked so we did the tour as planned but considering I had booked weeks ago and was looking forward to going to bellagio by boat, I did not appreciate the threat of cancellation. I feel they should have integrity to do the trip no matter how many people sign up to go. I would recommend to book if you are a group of at least 3 people to be sure it will happen.
Beautiful place and incredible tour. Dave was so welcoming and informative, thank you for the incredible experience! :)
Lorenzo was a really great captain! It’s not a narrated tour, but he pointed out a few interesting sites along the way. It was very windy and chilly, but he had blankets for us!
We had an absolute amazing time the best playlist. Super informative. It was very luxury. We have been here before and will now only use this boat service. Thank you so much.
The tour time was changed without enough notification time to make it to the new time. We got to place of tour and were told we missed the revised time and now would have to chooose a time much later.
An excellent tour! The scenery is stunning! Perhaps bring water and a sweater with you. Otherwise you don’t need a thing but your camera.

Enough time for the tours, and Captain Fabio was a genius, he made stops for us at all the important estates, the music on the boat was great, and to finish we shared a good Prosecco that sealed the afternoon. HIGHLY recommended!!! Thanks Fabio!!!

The ride was very pleasant! We saw the points of interest of Lake Como, and were able to benefit from David's explanations.
Bonus point for the playlist that accompanied us throughout the tour!

We traveled with Fabio, a super friendly captain who took the time to describe the wonders of Lake Como and its surroundings to us.

Impermissible. The whole organization was spectacular . Our guide was fantastic. You explained the details, you really made a toast. It created a very appropriate environment .

Nice experience on Lake Como, the stops were beautiful with a time of 1 hour, sufficient but not exhaustive. Very friendly and helpful captain. Definitely 4 hours well spent.
