Denis was a knowledgeable tour guide who took his time and shared many stories and perspectives we just would not have known had we done this on our own. They were also kind enough to pick us up in Varenna, where we were staying.

A fantastic experience, our captain had excellent knowledge, stopped to take plenty of pictures & ensured my Champagne was always topped up. Highly recommended.

A private boat trip from Lake Como to Bellagio and Varenna was the highlight of our Como trip. Our skipper was friendly and knowledgeable, the views were stunning, and having our own boat beat any crowded ferry. Bellagio’s cobbled lanes and Varenna’s pastel waterfront were both gorgeous, and the pacing was relaxed and flexible.
One tip: the meeting point was a little tricky to find — signage was minimal and we wandered a bit before spotting it. Message ahead for exact directions and you’ll be fine. Highly recommended

Denis gave us an incredible tour of Lake Como. Very knowledgeable, friendly, patient and willing to take lots of pictures of us (no need for selfies). He grew up in the area and is very well versed on the area.

Since we are staying in Varenna, our concierge arranged for the boat tour to leave from Varenna. We greatly enjoyed the boat tour and would recommend it.

Great tour. Just the right amount of time on the water. Our captian was knowledgeable about the area and very professional.

Our family of 4 had a great time on our boat tour. Our boat Captain Eduardo showed us a lot of historical and famous locations on the lake.

This boat tour was so fun! Our boat driver took some great photos for us on our phone. He stopped at villas and talked about them. He also took us to one of the places on our list to see that was close enough.
