Luxurious mahogany boat, pleasant captain and giving all explanations during the journey. Timing respected, for visiting the villa and gardens. The perfect guide for a dozen people. Cruise to do without hesitation. We must be aware that the return to Lecco is done by public shuttles in several stages. We have to go to Bellagio and then Lecco. So plan the day.
