A Fabulous Tour of Lake Como with the BEST Guide!

We had an excellent boat tour on Lake Como and would highly recommend it. The scenery was absolutely spectacular, but what made the experience especially memorable was our guide, Simone. He was warm, fun, knowledgeable, and engaging, sharing fascinating details about the beautiful villas, charming towns, and history of the lake. The tour was well paced, relaxing, and gave us plenty of opportunities to take photos, enjoy lunch at a fantastic restaurant, briefly visit Varenna, and simply enjoy the incredible views. It felt personal rather than rushed, and our guide made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. A truly special way to experience Lake Como. Don’t miss this tour if you want to see the lake from its most beautiful perspective.

Sunset cruise on Como

Andrea was an excellent captain. We did a 2hr sunset cruise. He took us past some beautiful villas and the waterfall. He provided us with water and a bottle of prosecco and was a pleasure to talk to and was very knowledgeable about the area. I would definitely recommend this company for a fun and safe boat day.

Perfection!

We were in Como for our Son’s wedding at one of the villas. We booked the tour in advance to ensure the timing fit with our schedule. Our guide, Simone, was on time, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area. We were extremely pleased and impressed by this experience. Highly recommended everyone to choose this company and ask for Simone to be their guide.
