My sons and I took a boat tour offered by Flake Boat Tours October 11, 2025. The tour was booked by Firebird Tours that orchestrated our trip to Italy. This is one thing they got right!. We were fortunate as it was a beautiful day. Our driver/guide Greta Cavadini was wonderful. Our tour was 6 hours and the time went very quickly. Greta drove us all around the area and showed us points of interest i.e. George Clooney’s Villa, Film location for Succession, Villa rented by Taylor Swift etc. There was so much to see and hard to remember it all. We stopped at Bellagio and Varenna. Greta expertly parked at these locations and we were able to explore on our own. I cannot recall the restaurant that Greta recommended but it was wonderful. We were having such a good time we invited Greta to join us for lunch selfishly so she could recommend the specialties of the area. My sons especially loved it and we don’t know when we will return but hopefully at some point we will come back to Lake Como and would definitely use Flake Boat Tours. I am pretty sure Greta would have moved on to her chosen profession and may or may not be our guide but I definitely recommend this company

Relaxation Tour
A very enjoyable tour along the Lake Como. Federico was so kind. During the tour, stop near several villas and tell us interesting stories and facts. Finally we took to Pelagio, where we had time to visit the city in peace. Nothing to say about the boat, which was very comfortable and well-maintained. My family and I appreciate the observance and organization. In fact, it gave us space to tour as a family but at the same time so we could discover new things about the lake. Highly recommended!
