The best boat of lake Como
We booked a boat tour, but unfortunately the weather was bad on the day of our reservation, so we had to return shortly after leaving. The organizers were very understanding and kindly offered to take us out again the next morning.
The next day, we had an amazing time, enjoyed the boat ride and took lots of beautiful photos. The boat looks very luxurious, and everyone was extremely polite and professional. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it!

10/10 Worth it Private Boat Experience!!!
My husband and I had the MOST wonderful time with Loris our private boat driver! We enjoyed the water just for a short hour to view the main villas and capture some amazing pictures and this was plenty of time! Loris was a great photographer, so knowledgeable, took us to the most gorgeous spots, and was just overall lovely to enjoy company with for such a scenic and special experience! I 10/10 recommend this. The boat is pristine, classy, clean, photos great, and plenty spacious ✨Worth the money- take the tour! And hopefully you’ll get lucky to have Loris! 🛥️
