• 5Right amount of time and great boat

  We booked an hour as it was long enough to see the key things comfortably without unnecessarily extending the journey. An hour was a great little cruise and we had a blast. The modern boat was so well maintained and meticulously clean. It was the right length it didn’t get boring or tedious.

• 5Highlight of our Lake Como Visit - thanks to Nic!

  We had such an amazing time on our boat tour of Lake Como, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Nic/Niccolò! He was incredibly engaging, funny, and made the entire experience so much fun. He shared fun stories about the beautiful estates and buildings around the lake, along with interesting history. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and his sense of humor made the tour feel relaxed, entertaining, and personal. We laughed so much and truly enjoyed every minute on the water. We feel so lucky that Nick was our guide and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lake Como. Ask for Nic - you won’t regret it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About Lake Como

Lake Como is a deep, Y-shaped lake in Lombardy, ringed by steep green mountains, pastel villages, ornate villas and terraced gardens.

Lake Como is shaped like an upside-down Y, with three arms that meet near Bellagio. At more than 400 metres deep, it is one of the deepest lakes in Europe, held between steep wooded slopes that rise towards the Alps. Villages with painted houses and small harbours stand along the water, and a network of ferries links them, making a boat the best way to see the shoreline.

Top-ranked sights in Lake Como: Villa del Balbianello, Villa Melzi Gardens (Giardini di Villa Melzi), Como-Brunate Funicular Railway (Funicolare Como-Brunate).
