You really get to see a lot of the lake, and travel a good ways up. They go all the way up to Clooney’s house and then a bit more before going back. I also thought the audio with ear piece was just fine and gave some good information. I am thankful that I didn’t rent a private boat to ride or drive myself. The hour was perfect.

Everyone was so nice and very helpful! I would highly recommend them! We over booked our selves and they helped us figure it all out with such kindness and understanding!

Alexa was fantastic and sweet. Super friendly and knowledgeable and gave us lots of little bits of extra info. Tour left promptly and as there were only us and one other couple, we basically had a private luxury trip! We were so lucky. Best way to see the lake.

This tour was excellent although it was a group tour, there were only 8 of us so it felt very private. Our tour guide Alice was incredible she was knowledgable, friendly and nothing was too much hassle. We had the most amazing morning on this tour. The boat was spacious and comfortable.Thank you

Headsets are required and are rather annoying, other than that tour guides were friendly and the tour was excellent

Great job tour guide Ali and Capt T.
The company proactively coordinated a time shift to ensure we would make our train back and everything was very smooth and friendly.
Gerald_M, Jun 2026
It was great. Only thing we didn’t like was they weren’t very good at pointing out what we were going by! We didn’t know what villa to be looking at!

This was worth every penny it cost. Matilda was fantastic. The boat was so nice and it was beautiful to see more of the lake from a boat.
Kjartanor_G, Jun 2026
The captain and the hostess were good. The boat was nice. It's good to have earpiece to listen to the commentator.

Highly recommended! The staff are really friendly and patient. My friend and I almost missed our scheduled boat, but Ali was incredibly helpful and waited for us—thankfully! We would definitely repeat the experience. In addition, the boat trip itself is really pleasant, offering great commentary about Lake Como and its surroundings. A perfect day out 🙌🏼😊

So fun! We had a great time. The boat was beautiful, the scenery was incredible, crew were excellent, met some wonderful people and we laughed the whole time.
Derek_M, May 2026
Good value compared to the prices being offered for small party experiences in the ferry queue (which was very, very long) and comfortable boat.
Alisha_D, May 2026
This boat tour was so worth it - comfortable boat, safe tour guides, and informative guidance for all the surrounding villas through the audio set. We thoroughly enjoyed Ali’s friendly nature and helpful tour guide commentary. She also offered to take nice photos of us. Thank you guys!
I would recommend this tour company to anybody who wants a relaxing, fun tour of the lake.
melissa_f, May 2026
The staff was friendly, fun, and made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. The views were absolutely breathtaking, beautiful coastline scenery, and charming little towns along the way.
Shannon_M, May 2026
This one-hour boat ride was a great way to get familiar with Lake Como and see some of the beautiful villas on the lower half of the lake. The hostess and driver were friendly and the audio info was helpful to get oriented. I would recommend this to newcomers to the area. We really enjoyed it!
reenam, May 2026
Alice and her team were wonderful.
The boat was clean and safe.
The crew did a good job of explaining all the sites

Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much John for your review! We hope to see you again in Como
Danielle_H, Apr 2026
Alessia and Juan were fantastic hosts. However, the boat is tiny and if you aren’t the first person on, then you get a seat next to a tiny window and can barely see anything. Luckily, when I asked, they let me sit up in the front with them so I was able to take it all the beautiful views, but I can’t imagine it’s a very great experience if the tour is full and you end up getting an inside seat. I also stopped listening to the audio because it was just AI generated with very little substantial information.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t exactly what you expected.
Regarding the audio guide, we utilize AI-generated voices specifically so we can offer the tour in a wide variety of languages, ensuring more guests can enjoy the history of the lake. However, our captain and hostess are always on board and at your full disposal should you ever want more "human" insights or deeper information beyond the recording!
As for the boat, we typically operate with a fully open Venetian taxi. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected mechanical issue, that specific vessel was unavailable, and we had to provide a similar alternative to ensure your tour could still proceed.
We would love the chance to welcome you back to Como in the future to show you the full experience we’re known for.

Guided tour of the bottom half of the lake highlighting several large villas along the way. Small groups so easy to get a good view and pictures of the scenery.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much Laurie for your amazing review, we can't wait to see you again in Como
Krisana_F, Apr 2026
The boat was nice, but wow whoever runs this place is getting lazy or something. The whole audio was bullsh#+ AI. It gave no substantive information at all. I thought I was gonna puke after hearing how a villa offered "breathtaking views" for the 10th time and "this place was full of culture and famous visitors..." Well, duh. I'm in Lake Como. Of course. Tell me the real history! Who visited when and why! I learned nothing from the tour audio. No me gustó.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hi, we’re sorry you feel this way. The audioguide is designed to suit a wide audience, including history, local insights and general highlights. The voice is AI-generated in order to provide the experience in multiple languages consistently. For more specific or in-depth information, a captain and hostess are always on board and available. Not engaging with them is a personal choice that can affect the depth of the experience.
