A wonderful day on the boat on Lake Como. Captain Alessandro made the experience with his knowledge and great sense of humour. A superb experience which I couldn't recommend any higher

The views and boat were amazing, and Frederico was a such a fun captain. Definitely recommend! They even provided blankets since it was cold in February.

Great way to spend an hour on the lake learning about the amazing properties further up the lake. Como itself is quite ordinary compared to areas further up the lake. Slight language barrier with tour guide on the boat but overall worthwhile doing.

Captain Alessandro and team were Aces! From the woman that met us at the dock to the boat driver and Alessandro- we arrived a few days after mudslides and weather was iffy - when they saw a window of decent weather they contacted us and we had a delightful lake tour- we laughed sang and they played fun music - history shared along the way- thanks for giving a great experience even under the weather conditions

"Alessandro was the best captain and tour guide! We had a fun time checking out the famous houses and sites along the lake. He came prepared with slideshows showcasing the popular properties too! Mulled wine and prosecco were a great touch. 5 stars all around. We booked for late November so make sure you do a day time ride before the sun goes down if you do the off season because it can get a little chilly. There’s also a few restaurants right across from the dock to have lunch. It was a good little day trip to Como from Milan."

Travelling around Lake Como was an incredibly enriching, educational and fulfilling experience for a first time traveler at Como. Our driver (Alessandro) was full of great knowledge of the locations and added a touch of novelty and class to the occasion. It was absolutely freezing but my goodness, this took nothing away from the beauty of the occasion and location. Congratulations Alessandro, you are a fine product of grand quality!

I had a great experience with the shalimar boat tour. Our instructor was Alessandro. He made jokes and made the tour very safe and fun. I will definitely recommend this to every friemd of mine. As a solo traveller its good to do this.
