Great birthday experience! - Roberto was a wonderful host and tour guide during a gorgeous boat trip along the lake. I booked this for my husband’s birthday and he was very kind to make it a special trip for us both. Would highly recommend booking this if you’re looking for a relaxing, private boat tour on the lake.

Honeymoon Boat Tour - What an incredible experience with Roberto. He was so informative about the Lake and knew so much history since his family has been from that area. Such a beautiful/spacious boat and the food, drinks, privacy was all we could of wanted for our honeymoon. He was so personable and made the experience one we will never forget.

Private Scenic Luxury Boat Tour! - We had such a wonderful private boat tour around Lake Como celebrating our honeymoon! Pier our guide was great at communication and messaged us on WhatsApp ahead of time so we were able to easily meet him at the dock. The boat was stunning and we loved hearing more at each stop. It was so lovely to have it private and a bottle of prosecco to share! He was kind to take pictures of us as well. This was one of our highlights of our 2 week trip to Italy! Thank you!

Fun day trip on the water - We had a great time with Roberto. He was right on time. The doc was easy to find. He shared the history of the lakes. If you’re in Varenna you must take the time to enjoy the water.
