Family boat tour on Lake Como
We had an amazing day on Lake Como! Our guide, Andrea, was informative and helpful during our private boat tour. He made it fun for our family, including two young kids. This tour was the highlight of our day trip!

Perfect day in Lake Como despite the weather!
Francesco was an amazing tour guide! It was a very wet, rainy day in June, but he made adjustments to the tour to keep us active and seeing Bellagio and Varenna. He helped us buy much needed umbrellas and sweatshirts to keep warm and dry. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I was afraid of getting seasick on the ferries, but they were only 15-20 minutes long and I had no issues. This was a great tour and we can’t wait to return to Lake Como! On the train ride back to Milan, he made dinner reservations for us in Milan that evening. It was the best meal we had in Milan! He even walked us to the metro after the train and helped us get on the metro to our hotel. This tour company and guide were so organized and the best one we used our entire trip! Don’t hesitate to book with them.

Great experience, even better guide
Emilio was our guide from Milan to Como and Bellagio and we could not have asked for a better guide. He made the day informative and fun. His knowledge of the area was impressive and he was a delight to spend the day with. Our excursion to Lake Como would not have been the same without him. Thank you, Emilio, for a wonderful experience we will not forget.

Lake Como and Bellagio
Our guide, Emilio, was superb. This was an all-day affair, and he was charming and extremely knowledgeable about the environs and the history. He was good company - even for our teenage children (who are generally well-behaved) and had the stamina to go for about 8 hours all-in.
Operator response
Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us.
We hope to welcome you again on a future tour.

Easy way to experience Como for a day!
So glad we got to spend a day in Como during our visit to Milan. Andrea was an exceptional guide who was very easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Also very knowledgeable! Definitely visit Suisse (restaurant in Bellagio) before you leave! So yummy.
