Italy and lake Como, as you always have dreamt about! - Very great experience, and worthwhile doing again.
The lake and all around is stunningly beautiful!
Alice is simply fantastic, great boatdriver and took the time to explain details on all the villas with a lot of enthusiasm. Also send a message later with more details on places to go by car that we talked about whilst on the boat.
Thanks!!

We had an incredible time... - We had an incredible time on our boat tour of Lake Como! Our guide, Alice, was absolutely amazing—so knowledgeable and passionate about the area. She shared fascinating stories and insights that really brought the beauty of the lake to life.
The boat itself was spotless, super comfortable, and perfect for a relaxing ride. We cruised past stunning villas and took in breathtaking views at every turn.
This was a fantastic experience for our whole family. Our kids (8 and 10) were totally captivated—they haven’t stopped talking about it since!

Must Do When In Como - private boat tour of Lake Como - We actually booked the 3 hour private boat cruise and it was amazing. Alberto was so kind and showed us all the villas along Como. He had grown up in Como so was so knowledgeable about the region and everything on and around the lake. We highly recommend this experience.

Alberto was such a great... - Alberto was such a great guide of Lake Como! This was our only stop in Italy on our trip and it was the perfect experience of such a beautiful place. The two hour length was perfect for three 18 year olds and my husband and I. Saw so many beautiful villas and learned so much!

Very nice - Very nice, beautiful scenery and very friendly guide but not speaking French so complicated to understand the explanations regarding the villas. Bottle of proseco offered but not fresh enough.
The 1 hour tour does not include Villa Clooney, contrary to what I was confirmed by email. The skipper drove us there anyway but we had to cancel other villas instead. Overall satisfied. You just have to be very specific about what you want to do

Beautiful privileged walk - Very good time. Boat arrived on time with a very friendly skipper but not speaking French so complicated to understand the explanations of the visit.
Clean boat, drinks offered but not cool enough.
Be careful to specify what you want because Villa Clooney was not understood when I had asked for confirmation by email.
The skipper drove us there anyway but we had to forget others because not enough time. Luckily I claimed, we would have been disappointed.
Beware of sensitive back 😅
