A day to remember forever! - Trying to create the right treat for people who are both friends AND business can be a confusing Venn diagram intersection. Thank goodness this tour was recommended to me. It was the perfect mix of exciting engagement (when you don't talk business) and relaxed interludes (when you do). The refreshments felt luxurious while being neither pretentious nor excessive. The tour itself felt very special, as if accessing views of beauty denied to most people. Alex, the captain, was super-competent, and also knew when to talk to us and when to shut up ;) I'll definitely take the family next time!

Make the most of your time on Como with this amazing excursion - We had such a great time with Captain Alex - he was charming and full of fascinating stories about the lake. It really is the best way to take in the splendid buildings around Lake Como - we saw so much and yet we never felt rushed. By the way, Alex was more than happy to pick us up from our hotel in Bellagio - which made for such a relaxing start to the day as we could just walk down to the jetty after breakfast. Highly recommended.

Beautiful day on the lake by boat - Booked a 4 hour tour to Bellagio and back. Very spacious, luxurious boat, perfectly maintained. Alessandro, the commander, as well as being very expert, was kind and professional. When booking, he called us immediately to organize the cruise in a truly personalized way, that is, according to our wishes. Very interesting tour, we saw beautiful villas and learned about cinema, discovering where famous films were set! The stops at the Orrido di Nesso waterfall, Villa Cassinella and Villa Balbianello are fantastic. I asked for advice on having lunch in front of the lake and Alessandro organized everything at the Belvedere restaurant in Torno: wonderful location, equally beautiful food with even a visit from the chef to the table, obviously on the terrace. To make access more convenient, he made us disembark and re-embark at the municipal floating pier, and then went to moor at the restaurant buoys from which access would not have been so convenient. Definitely worth repeating!

Fantastic boat tour - Alessandro was a fantastic tour guide from start to finish. We contacted him the evening prior to the day we wanted to go on a boat trip and he was immediately responsive, even giving us a call immediately to talk through the various options and costs. He set it all up nicely for an early start the following morning, and was very responsive over text for any questions we had. The boat tour was both informative and luxurious. He explained all about the various places along Lake Como and included lots of fun stories. He also made sure that we had enough water and food, and even suggested having some pizza on the boat, although sadly, the restaurant was closed on that day, although it was a great idea. Alessandro is polite, knowledgeable, and accommodating, and I cannot recommend him enough. I have also been on several speedboats before where the experience felt choppy, but this was not the case with his tour.

This was really worth doing - it was a really "full meal". There was such sensory overload that the 4 hours felt like a whole day. we needed to chill afterwards, with such pleasing exhaustion. the views were immense, and we always felt safe and ready for the next thrill.

A magical boat ride on Lake Como. - My husband and I booked an evening tour of Lake Como. The driver Alessandro is very polite and professional, showed us the unique places of Lake Como and told us a lot of interesting facts about the lake. On his advice, we chose August 15, since on that day there were to be fireworks in Cernobbio, opposite the Villa Deste hotel. Thanks to Alessandro for advising us to arrange a walk on that day, otherwise we would not have seen the beauty that we were able to see! The boat is luxurious, elegant and spacious and perfect for the occasion. We will definitely repeat this magical walk.
