Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The water can get a little choppy, I thought it all part of the fun - but if you’re a nervous swimmer you might get anxious. However, our guide instilled confidence and the kayaks are very stable. The guide Michael (wrong spelling - sorry!) was informative and humorous but low key enough to allow us to enjoy the natural beauty all around. It was wonderful to see the towering cliffs and cloud wreathed mountains from a different angle. Great bit of exercise too!

I enjoyed the kayaking and the guide was nice but for what we paid i expected to be paddling a longer distance and seeing a little more of the coastline. It was beautiful and nice to view Bellagio from the ocean. We shared a kayak.

What a lovely way to enjoy the morning! Wear flip flops or barefoot is good too! Mich, was lovely and very informative. The lake is beautiful from the kayak. It was not too challenging we were in a double so my hubby did the heavy lifting but it was all good!

Very fun experience. Make sure to find a bathroom before if needed as one is not provided. Loved the surprise at the end and the tour guide was super nice and helpful.

The guide, Michaela, was great. He was very knowledgeable about the area. Made suggestions for other places/things to do on visit

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.

We absolutely loved this kayak tour. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable. The views were amazing. The water was lovely and still. You could sort of go at your own pace and didn’t feel rushed, which I liked. It was the best thing we did in Bellagio! Would absolutely recommend it.

A great and different way to see Bellagio.
We went on a Sunday, so there was not much boat traffic to deal with. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had answers to any questions we asked.

Marvelous tour guide and a wonderful way to experience Bellagio. If you have a little time in Bellagio, don’t hesitate. Book now.

Absolutely incredible!! Mich was a great instructor, very knowledgeable and informative about Lake Como and the towns surrounding it, and he was very accommodating when we were running a few minutes late because of traffic. The views on Lake Como were GORGEOUS and this was absolutely one of my favorite excursions we did while in Italy. You will definitely get wet so make sure you wear appropriate clothes and/or bring a change of clothes!

Great way to start the morning! We learned a lot from the guide and it was well organized. The views from the water were beautiful!

Tour guide was great. He is knowledgeable, helpful, conversational and prompt. It was a very peaceful morning activity and the views were breathtaking.

This tour was so much fun! Mich, our guide, was kind and very knowledgeable. We got to see some cool ruins and learned a ton about Bellagio and the surrounding area. I also appreciated the pace of the tour. Sometimes tours feel rushed or crammed; here we had plenty of time (which was extra good, as my traveling companion and I were definitely novice kayakers!) and were able to enjoy the quiet of the lake and the beautiful scenery. I would do this tour again!

Lindsay_B, Jun 2024
This was an incredible, breathtaking experience to see Lake Como on the water. We cannot recommend it enough! The earlier hour was so serene and our guide was kind and answered all our questions about Bellagio & Lake Como. It ended up being my husband and I's favorite part of our whole trip.

The kayak tour in Bellagio was amazing. Our guide, Michele ( hope I spelled correctly) was very informative. He seemed very proud of the place he was presenting. It was just a different and very cool way of exploring Lake Como. Highly recommend the tour
Matthew_G, Jun 2024
Kayak tour was great! Tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and made us feel very comfortable. Great way to see a different side of Lake Como. Nice little full body exercise before you eat pasta and drink wine :) the kayak tour was the perfect length of time. Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience!

Michele delivered a charming and unforgettable kayak tour from Bellagio onto Lake Como! It was a gorgeous morning, and he met us at a pristine, picturesque location with pavered sidewalks and benches right at the lake shore. On the water, Michele was informative, helpful, likable, and friendly. As a native of Bellagio, he exuded a healthy admiration and appreciation for his hometown and for the lake, and his knowledge of the area was awesome. This was one of the best ways for my girlfriend and I to experience Lake Como and to get on the water, and we really enjoyed speaking with and getting to know Michele a bit—he has a uniquely authentic and kind nature, and we really enjoyed chatting with him and having him guide us on the tour. Two thumbs up! Highly recommend. A really great investment and value for a wonderful experience!
