Great outfitter!
We did an 8 hour private tour of Lake Como with Emanuele. He was amazing! Provided details of everything, and was a pure joy to hang out with. We swam 4 times in the lake, and got off for a short while to explore Bellagio. He was VERY accommodating, and even gave us recommendations for local restaurants and suggestions for what to do our on free day. Thank you, Emanuele!

Best Boat Tour Ever!
Emmanuel took us on a three and half hour tour of Lake Como, and it was truly the best boat tour I’ve ever been on! Emmanuel was very informative, intriguing, and entertaining. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the boat, and Emmanuel’s expertise. If I could give this 6 or 7 stars, I would! We even got to jump off a bridge with a waterfall in the background - my favourite part! Emmanuel was gracious enough to stop wherever we wanted - truly a 10/10 boat tour, no complaints at all! If you’re looking to explore Como, please book with this company! :)
