Best boat tour- Bellagio/Lake Como

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.

A Highlight of Our Lake Como Vacation!

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!

Top marks for a fantastic excursion!

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!
