2 hour private boat tour - Exceptional tour. Emilia was very knowledgeable on the history of the lake, the villas and the surrounding area. Her husbands driving the boat was wonderful very cautious of wakes from other boats to ensure a smooth trip. They both were very accommodating and made you feel very comfortable and welcoming. But most of all just the 2 of us got to enjoy the tour no big crowds. Lovely time lovely couple!

Amazing Experience - What an amazing experience with Mia and Johnny! They are so knowledgeable about the lake and surrounding areas. The service is unbelievable. You’ll get to stop to swim and have Prosecco and snacks. A 10/10 must do for a trip to Lake Como and we can’t wait to visit again and do another trip with Mia and Johnny.

Had so much fun in Lake Como - We had so much fun with Mia and her “George Clooney”, as we would tease them :) They are very accommodating and generous in just giving us an experience of Lake Como we will not forget, briefly stopping by iconic villas and explaining to us significant and interesting details about the Villas. We did not feel rushed and the pace was just right, we even got to stop in a villa to have some time to walk a round and enjoy our coffee! The highlight was giving us drinks while we were checking out the villas and the medieval bridge. Highly recommended!
