Fantastic boat ride with Stefano! Perfect mix of pointing out interesting highlights and just enjoying the boat ride. A highlight for sure! Grazie
In the hour tour we had, Stefano showed us some of Lake Como’s most notable sites and was charismatic and was happy to take pictures of my fiancée and I. The boat itself is very beautiful and clean, and gives a very “Lake Como” aesthetic if that’s what you’re looking for.
Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! We hope to see you soon! Marco & Stefano.
We had a fantastic 2 hr boat ride experience with Stefano. He grew up on the lake and enjoyed his stories. He made the experience so amazing. This is well worth the money.
Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! We hope to see you soon! Marco & Stefano.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our private wooden speedboat tour of Lake Como! It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Seeing Lake Como from the water is spectacular, and the beautiful wooden boat made the experience even more special. The scenery was breathtaking, the ride was relaxing and fun, and it was a wonderful way to see the towns, villas and mountains surrounding the lake. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Lake Como. Five stars!

Amazing 1 hour tour :) It was fast, but that's all the time we had. Lorenzo showed us so much in an hour and we even had time for a little swim!
Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! We hope to see you soon! Marco & Stefano.
The experience was fantastic, from beginning to end. Marco was very informative, charming and hospitable. The best view of the town on Lago di Como are from the water, in my opinion, and a once in a lifetime splurge excursion. I do not know all of the operators on the lake, but I cannot imagine anyone doing it much better... And I am not someone to give unearned compliments, so this was a day that was very memorable for me, my wife and daughter... Highly recommended. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable day!
Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! We hope to see you soon! Marco & Stefano.
