Private Boat Tour - Had to postpone the original tour due to weather conditions. The organizers were super helpful and flexible. Our tour guide, Alberto was kind and taught us so much about the history of the Lake. We had so much fun. Would recommend!

Very reputable and trustworthy - We only had 20mins on the lake and then the weather changed. Alberto was great. He made sure we were safe and brought us back as it was raining hard. The day before had been rescheduled as well due to weather. We would have rescheduled again but we're leaving the next day. They gave a full refund. We will be booking with them again the next time we are in Como.

Great Captain, amazing afternoon! - Alice was an amazing captain- so friendly and informed about Lake Como- our family went for a two hour trip that takes you to Nesso and back, swam in Lake Como and saw the Villas of the stars. Very relaxed and memorable. A great way to get a feel for the area.

Wonder way to spend the afternoon and see the lake! Highly recommend this guide! - The two hour boat tour with Alberto was fantastic. Booking was very smooth. Due to a cancelation in our train travel, we were forced to reschedule and the company was very helpful to rebook in the next available time.
The communication with the tour guide prior to our appoint was very easy, helpful and professional. We had several questions and they answered each question quickly, which made making plans for the day so much easier.
Our guide Alberto was wonderful. He made our entire family feel comfortable and engaged with the tour. He was fun, relaxed, and very knowledgeable about the area. He grew up on the lake so having a locals perspective and knowledge made the experience rich and authentic.
I would highly recommend this particular company and especially Alberto. If we come back for the longer tour we will absolutely request Alberto and work around his availability.
