The air was a few degrees cooler on the lake and the breeze felt great! The captain showed us the more famous spots (of course the wedding site - IYKYK) but I found the varied buildings in each small town just beautiful. We stopped for a quick lunch in Menaggio, and ended with a swim in the lake! The water was perfect for such a hot day.
Our family of four had the absolute best day on Lake Como with our Captain Davide aboard the Colombo 26 Bellagio! From checking out all the amazing villas, Davide securing us the best lunch reservation in Bellagio, to taking a swim in the lake…we couldn’t have asked for a better day!
Communication was excellent and our driver, Michele, was a great skipper. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and funny too. The 4 hours were thoroughly enjoyable and we were given the choice of where we stopped for lunch. We chose Bellagio, we agreed a time to meet him back to the boat and he was there when we arrived. We really felt we had been shown all the lovely nooks and crannies of the lake, with a little bit of history and stunning views. The boat was beautiful too.
Awesome experience, our captain Davide kept things fun and was informative throughout the journey. Would strongly recommend
Our boat tour was wonderful! Captain Claudio was great! He showed us so much at lake Como. Me and my wife came here for our belated honeymoon, and we are very happy that we did. Definitely do the the private sunset tour, that is the best 🙂
Our 2-hour boat tour on Lake Como was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and there is truly no better way to experience the beauty of the lake, historic villas, and charming waterfront towns than from the water. What made the experience exceptional was our driver, Stefano. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and personable throughout the tour. He shared interesting information about the area, pointed out notable landmarks, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. Stefano's passion for Lake Como was evident, and his recommendations and insights made the experience feel much more personal than a typical sightseeing tour. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lake Como and strongly suggest requesting Stefano if possible. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
Had the most incredible day thanks to Andrea the boat captain. He was very thoughtful and knowledgeable about every part of the lake. Was the best day
Absolutely amazing day out on the lake with the extremely knowledgeable captain Elisa ! Very organised and professional experience !!!!
Wonderful experience. Our driver was knowledgeable and personable! She was an excellent captain and made sure we were comfortable and safe - and she shared the history and the stories of the villas and towns around the lake. Best trip - we were so pleased. We had time for stops in Bellagio and Varena and her recommendations for where to go were wonderful! We would highly recommend our driver, Elisia.
We had the most unforgettable experience on Lake Como thanks to Davide and Elisa! From the very beginning, Davide went above and beyond to make our day seamless—he not only arranged the perfect lunch reservation for us, but also coordinated with Elisa to personally pick us up, which made everything effortless. Both Davide and Elisa were incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and hidden gems of the lake. They shared fascinating stories and insights at every turn, which made the tour so much richer than just a scenic ride. Their warm hospitality and genuine passion for the area shined through, and we felt completely taken care of the entire time. If you’re looking for a personalized, thoughtful, and truly special way to experience Lake Como, look no further than Davide and Elisa. They made our trip an absolute highlight that we will cherish forever!
