Description
Leaving Como in an elegant Venetian mahogany taxi, you will experience an hour of pure wonder north. You will admire from the lake the most iconic villas: the majestic Villa Olmo, the famous Villa del Balbianello in Lenno and the historic houses of Laglio, such as Villa Oleandra. Once in Bellagio, you will have an hour to lose yourself among its iconic flowered staircases, browse the silk boutiques and reach Punta Spartivento, where the lake divides into two branches. The tour continues towards the Lecco shore to land in Varenna. In an hour you can walk the suggestive Lovers’ Promenade, a walkway suspended over the water that offers postcard views, or visit the botanical gardens of Villa Monastero. The last hour of sailing to Como will be the perfect time to relax: the taxi will glide fast on the water, allowing you to observe the villages of Nesso, with its scenic ravine, and Torno, before returning to the city admiring the Listing of the Cathedral from the lake.

Disappointing
Firstly I need to say the trip was ok but was very rushed at each stop giving us no time to really look at the area. There were 12 of us on board (the maximum) but although advertised we would receive alcohol, water, pop and snacks there was only one bottle of Prosecco and 6 bottles of water on board. So 6 of us were without water for 4 hours. We were in 35 degree heat so felt this was v poor. When I messaged after to say this I was basically told they were busy and didn’t have time to put more on board. They know this is a busy season so surely just be more prepared. They did offer free snacks and water next time. Prob knowing we won’t be back in lake como. This was v poor on their behalf so that’s why a poor score.

Quaint towns and Lake Villas
It was a great experience on the boat. Bellagio and Varenna were very beautiful. Quaint shops and lovely views. Loved seeing the notable villas along the Lake. The one thing is that we did not have a lot of time for either town but we got a taste of them. The negative was that we did not have a mahogany boat as advertised and the boat was over 30 minutes late to start the tour. Marco did a great job with showing us all of the sites. As per the Italian way, the tour was more than 4 hours so keep that in mind when booking this tour. You don’t want to be in a rush to get back to Como.

Don't do it
Not enough time at each spot as too many boats trying to drop off, then hurried to next place which made the boat ride very rough. Also it mentioned prosecco, 1 bottle between 12 people, and it was given to others to pour 6 had half a glass each and the rest 1 mouth full. When stopping to explain things captain favoured others once they took photos he would drive off leaving the rest having to try and take photos whilst moving at fast speed, not a great experience

Bait and switch…. Buyer beware
We booked a 4hour boat tour with 1 hour stops in bellagio and veranna. Drinks and snacks on a wooden boat boat with English guide. Chaos at boarding, chain smoking no English captain, 1 hour tour, no stops.
