Perfect for honeymoon - We booked a 1 hour tour with Alberto, we saw all the famous villas nearby and learnt about all the history of each place. Alberto was a great guide, serving us prosecco and answering any questions! Absolute highlight of our time in Como, would strongly recommend!

Must Do experience of Lake Como - excellent private tour! - We enjoyed a 2hr private cruise on Lake Como with Alberto, showing us all of the key sights along the lake. The cruise was fabulous and Alberto was extremely knowledgeable. The cruise included a bottle of Prosecco on the lake, which was a lovely touch.
The organisation of the trip was brilliant, we had booked for a particularly rainy day and were able to change it to the following day to ensure we could enjoy the experience. Thanks to Alberto for a fabulous Lake Como experience!

Lake Como with Friends - We took a private tour with Alberto, also known as Albi. It was a perfect sunny day in October and Alberto could not have been more perfect as a guide. He was informative knowledgeable into a history beyond textbooks because he grew up on the lake and continues to live on the lake.

Perfecto! - Amazing! Alberto was very friendly and helpful. I did the tour with my husband and 3 kids, my 10 year old said it was her favorite part of our entire trip, and was probably mine as well. Very nice boat. Overall a lovely, lovely experience. Zero complaints.
