Unforgettable Experience on Lake Como with Ricky! We had the pleasure of taking a private boat tour with Riky (Riccardo) from Moltrasio to Lezzeno, and it was an unforgettable experience. There were eight of us, but the boat was still spacious and comfortable—perfect for enjoying the evening in relaxation. Ricky was the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness. He guided us along the lake’s shores, sharing with knowledge the stories of the towns we passed and the stunning villas overlooking the water. He took the time to stop at the most scenic spots, letting us soak in the views and take photos. He offered us drinks during the tour, and on the way back, he set the perfect mood with some background music. Even at night, he remained extremely professional, making us feel safe and well looked after at all times. An experience I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see Lake Como from a unique perspective. Thank you, Ricky, for your hospitality, warmth, and for making our evening so memorable!
