Itinerary
I wait for you on the Como pier at the Lario bar Where we will set sail for our incredible adventure.
We will pass the breakwater where you can see Life Elettric, an installation by Daniel Libeskind. Continuing we will pass by the seaplane hangar, then head north, towards Villa Olmo.
We will pass by Villa Olmo, a neoclassical villa in Como (1797), designed by the architect Simone Cantoni, an imposing structure commissioned by the family of the Odescalchi marquises of Fino Mornasco. Villa Olmo is portrayed in a painting by Giuseppe Bisi from 1838
We will then continue north along the western shore to admire Villa Erba, one of the most important villas on Lake Como. It was built between 1894 and 1898 to a design by architects Angelo Savoldi and Giovan Battista Borsani. The client was Luigi Erba, brother and heir of Carlo, one of the major pharmaceutical industrialists of the time. Villa Erba, which extends over two floors, is a structure in Alessian mannerist style. The villa today hosts international trade fairs and is home to conferences and events.
We will continue passing Tavernola and Cernobbio Apprezzando Villa Erba, the spectacular luxurious hotel in Villa d'Este where in 2019 the Obama and George Clooney family mentioned, to then reach Punta pizzo from where the property of the villa le fontanelle once by Gianni Versace extends, inside the property we can appreciate the octagonal church which can be rented for private weddings at a cost of € 15,000 per hour.
Continuing to climb the western shore we will pass Moltrasio Carate Urio and reach Laglio where the infamous Villa Oleandra, home of George Clooney, is located.
Once in Laglio as mentioned, we will see the most beautiful and elegant villas such as Villa Oleandra, George Clooney's summer home.
Continuing along the coast we will reach the Orrido di Nesso and the Roman bridge We will cross the lake to reach the Nesso ravine, a natural waterfall between steep gorges, with the Civera bridge, a 2000-year-old Roman bridge. Here young people love to jump from the bridge to create stories on their social networks.
Continuing along the coast we will reach the Villa Pliniana Where the legends of ghosts linger, then skirting around visiting the Grand Hotel "Il Sereno" Recently renovated by the Victoria secret San bart group.

Ezzo was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. He made our boat tour in Lake Como unforgettable!
Very helpful and super nice experience overall the guide and staff were amazing
Gianma was an amazing Captain. The boarding dock was super busy and he made sure it was an effortless experience getting on board (many other groups were waiting for a long time). Once we cleared the port he served us cold prosecco, and the rest of the tour was an absolute beaut from there!
John did a great job and he is a local ! Lots of great stories and he let us swim at a local waterfall! So cool. Highly recommend
Absolutely beautiful ! Great way to see the Lake. Should have done on our first day! Gian was great!! Went at 6 pm perfect time to see the lake!
We loved our tour! Three of us fit very comfortably on the boat - I wouldn’t recommend any more than four people as the boat is quite small. Our guide was knowledgeable about all of the villas and brought us to two great swimming spots, and finished off the tour with a bottle of prosecco.
Antonio io was excellent. Really enjoyed being on and in the water. If you want to see great spots along the lake this is the best bang for the buck.
It was a blast, aur guide Antonio took us on the lake to the best parts of Como, his narration with the best weather and the atmosphere was fantastic, it was on our last day, decision was made at 4 am, but i would be have been dissapointed if we missed this one out… don‘t think about it book it.
The boat driver was in a hurry to end our trip and get new clients. Bubble wine in plastic water cup. No towel. Boat a bit old, need a refurbishment. Stop expensive for what it offers.
This trip was great, views were spectacular, and Antonio was a fantastic guide. Would definitely recommend doing while in Lake Como!
We had the best time with our captain Antonio exploring Lake Como by boat. He showed us the most famous villas including villa Balbianello and was very attentive and friendly. We learned the main facts about the lake and the villages surrounding it. I would recommend this trip to everyone!
Antonio was amazing and so much fun to go for a boat ride with he showed us all the sites and historical marks. Highly recommend going on this two hour boat ride.
Great tour, showed us all the famous and historical spots on the the Como side for the 2hr tour. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic trip, very friendly Antonio who showed us lots of interesting places. Would highly recommend his service to anyone. The Owens
Antonio was amazing! He knew all the landmarks along the lake and was super friendly and fun! We would definitely go again.
Absolutely gorgeous way to tour the sparkling waters of lake Como and the iconic region! Glasses of Prosecco were brought out as we chilled in a shelter area admiring grand Italian villas and their manicured cypress gardens whilst receiving the full lowdown of the place’s history and all the villas, villages and landmarks around us!

Perfect tour with Antonio’s boat, he made his best to makes us to have the best joy during the tour in Como Lake. Thanks to him a lot.
Very nice tour with Antonio, he tells lots of cool stories about the history behind the spots that we visited. 1 hour was perfect for us, and we also got to see George Clooney's and Versace's villa. Gracie!
Great service, Prosecco, and extremely knowkedgeable driver. He showed us all of the spots of interest, answered questions and allowed time for photos.
Awesome experience. If you don’t do this you really miss a big part of being in lake Como. Prompt pickup. Andrias was a great captain. Prosecco was nice. So nice we ordered another bottle. Unfortunately we forgot to take into account that liquid going in must eventually go out. 😁
Antonio, was the man! What a great resource of knowledge!!! Highly recommend!!! When in Como, please boat with Antonio!
Had an amazing 1 hour trip with Antonio our driver. Very fun and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Antonio was an excellent tour guide. Thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip on lake como. He pointed out various houses owned by film stars & important business people. Thank you
Antonio was finishing for the night but took us out as it was our last day. Knows the history of the lake and stopped to explain everything to us. Top man 👍 what a great end to a great week
We had an amazing boat trip with Antonio and Andrea! Really knowledgeable and informative hosts. The views are beautiful. This is a must do in Como!!
Wonderful tour and great history. Very knowledgeable and friendly host. Highly recommend Antonio!! We wish we booked a longer tour, so splurge and get the two hour tour!!
A wonderful tour of the beautiful lake. Our guide provided us with lots of interesting information about the properties and the history of the lake. The lake, with the Alps in the background was a dream. A fantastic way to spend the afternoon.
Antonio is absolutely incredible! Best hour of my life. He told us all about the many beautiful sites on the lake. We are so grateful!
Antonio was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable and willing to take great pictures for us! Thank you for the wonderful ride!
The trip was wonderful and gave us a great insight into lake Como and it’s history and Luca was a wonderful host.
Antonio was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Great explaining the sights to us. Definitely recommend. Especially at 5pm evening tour.
Antonio was a fantastic tour guide and the views were stunning. Would highly recommend to anyone in Lake Como!
Antonio was amazing! This tour was a highlight of our trip without a doubt. Highly recommend for anyone to see the lake by boat.
We had the most wonderful 2 hours on Lake Como with Antonio. We saw the beautiful villages and Antonio was very informative. We loved every minute and was a highlight of our trip. Thank you !!
we were told the wrong meeting place. by the time we could connect it was 30 minutes after start. they cut our trip an hour short. they did not give us any food as promised. the guide knew almost nothing.
Maro did a very nice job giving us some history of Lake Como and showing us the highlights. Nice, comfortable, late model boat.
Luca was a great tour guide! Showed us all the great spots around the lake and beautiful hotels and villas. It was a very enjoyable boat ride!
Beautiful boat ride on lake como. Very interesting pointing out various point of interest and famous villas. Very enjoyable cruise.
It's the best way to see the breathtaking views of Lake Como. Captain Lucca was very attentive ... it was a fantastic experience!
Luca was awesome! Great tour of the lake and the Villas! Took the 9 am your and the water was like glass.
The boat was incredible. Antonio was an amazing captain and guide. Cannot recommend this enough, you must make this part of your Como vacation!
Black pearl, but specifically Antonio our driver, was absolutely amazing! This private boat tour was by far the best part of our visit to lake como. It would not have been as enjoyable if it weren’t for having an entertaining, knowledgeable and outgoing driver though. Antonio is the best!!! A must do in lake como. You won’t regret it.
Driver was nice and informative and the lake is beautiful. Unfortunately, the Black Pearl is a very small, tired, old boat. The experience seemed overpriced given the condition of the boat. Other than that, it was interesting and fun to see the lake.
The views were amazing and Antonio was an amazing driver! It was the perfect trip. We learned about different villages on the lake, enjoyed a bottle of Prosecco, and took in all the beautiful sites! We would definitely take this trip again!
Great experience! Antonio was awesome and do generous with his knowledge! One of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Grazie!
Very professional service High level quality boat ( Invictus) Unlimited Flexibility and courtesy The best choice to enjoy Como Lake
