Great trip! There were just the three of us, and the skipper gave interesting commentary while showing us the villas. We saw a lot for just one hour. Highly recommend this company!

The boat trip on Lake Como was a real highlight The elegant wooden boat gives the trip a special charm and feels like a little time travel. Gliding on the sparkling water of the lake while the sun makes the mountains and idyllic villages shine was just fantastic The vibe on board was chill and personal, and the team was super warm and attentive. You can tell right away that there's a real passion for the experience on the water here. A totally perfect excursion for anyone who wants to experience Lake Como at its best. Highly recommended

A very nice one-hour tour with stops at different villas, then a stop to feed the swans! We were lucky to be the only two on the boat! Professional team. I would definitely recommend it.

Great boat tour on Lake Como! There were five of us in the end and there was enough space for everyone on board. The wooden boat is beautiful, and our skipper immediately created the right atmosphere: Italian music in the background, good vibes, and a relaxed trip. Everyone had the opportunity to take the helm themselves – a real highlight! A little tip: bring a bottle of champagne with you; there are plastic glasses on board, so you can enjoy the trip even more. A great atmosphere, fantastic views, and excellent photo opportunities are guaranteed here!
