We will start our tour from the floating dock of Sant'Agostino
As soon as we leave the port, we will be able to admire Life Electric, the sculpture by starchitect Daniel Libeskind.
We will continue north on the west coast until we arrive at Villa Olmo, a historic neoclassical residence located at the end of the lake promenade of the villas of Borgo Vico, surrounded by a large Italian garden.
We will then reach Cernobbio from where it will be possible to admire Villa Erba, which was the home of Luchino Visconti and is currently used, together with its exhibition centre, for trade fairs, concerts and events.
We will then pass by the shore of Cernobbio to reach Villa d'Este, a luxurious 5-star luxury hotel, home to the "Concorso d'Eleganza" and the Ambrosetti forum, among others.
We will arrive in Moltrasio, home of the villa le Cassinelle, the home of Gianni Versace on Lake Como
After passing the village of Carate Urio we will reach Laglio where we will admire Villa Oleandra, home of George Clooney.
We will arrive in Torno, a charming village built on a small peninsula at lake level, where we will be able to admire the Serene modern charming accommodation facility
Going down towards Como we will pass Faggeto Lario, a village devoted to tourism overlooking the lake
Also in Blevio, we can admire the Troubetzkoy villa.
Drop offs
Always going down towards Como we will admire the Mandarin Oreintal, an imposing hotel structure on the lake.
Disappointing and did not compare favourably with other private boat tours previously made abroad. The inclusions of bottled water, bubbly and snacks, music, were not offered and had to be requested. No swimming opportunity was put forward. It was very impersonal and Giovanni although polite did not really interact.
The views were incredible. We took a gazillion pictures. Giovanni was excellent. He’s very sweet and accommodating. Gave us all the history too. Served pizza and Prosecco. Fantastic trip
We had a beautiful day on Giovani's boat. He was very welcoming and knowledgable about the area. Perfect boat ride! Thank you Giovani
Great trip up Lake Como with Giovanni! Private trip with best friends ever! He pointed out lots of hot spots on the lake and was a great guide!
Three hours family tour, the staffs are friendly.the service is excellent.the view is so beautiful.We had a wonderful exploring the beautiful surrounding.Highly recommend.Thanks to the great services.
My family and I had the most incredible experience on Giovanni’s boat tour. I have been to Lake Como before, but this trip was particularly special because of this tour. Giovanni showed us the best of Lake Como, including areas that most tourists never get to see! The service and quality of the guide was exceptional! We were able to visit Bellagio and villa balbianello. Highly recommend!
You have to do this!! Great way to see the overview of Lake Como and all the beautiful parts. Villas were gorgeous. We had a perfect morning on the water! Only thing water was a little too rough for us to go for a swim.
Giovanni was an excellent captain! He was very prompt to answer all our questions before our boat tour. We requested to go to Nesso to see the waterfall and swim by the bridge and he was more than happy to make that happen!
Very nice Butor. Got to see a lot of beautiful mansions . The water was relatively calm The captain was very good. We had a very leisurely afternoon.
We had an incredible experience. Giovanni was so flexible and brought us to see so many great places on the lake. We came on a girls trip and had so much fun. 10/10 recommend booking this. Plus the snacks provided were yummy!
Was excellent. Slow ride out along the east coast up to Nesso, then back down the west coast. Gorgeous villas and views the entire way. Covered captains area for the little rain we experienced was nice.
Look no further for your Lake Como boating needs! My family and I had a FANTASTIC time on this amazing tour. Giovanni was incredibly accommodating and the best guide from the day of booking and through our visit. There is no better way to see the beauty of Lake Como, and Giovanni’s tour exceeded our expectations. We could not have asked for a better experience and are very thankful to have booked with Boston Lake Como. Thank you, Gio!
We had the most incredible day on Lake Como and could not recommend this boat tour enough! This tour is probably the best way to enjoy Lake Como. There was a perfect balance between relaxation and plenty of time to ourselves, as well as getting educated on the Villas and history of Lake Como. Giovanni and Fernanda were both very knowledgeable and such a pleasure to be around. They even gave us dinner recommendations and offered to make us reservations at some of the best spots (we all know that locals know best!) It was my wife’s birthday and Giovanni’s mom had prepared homemade tiramisu which was incredible and such a thoughtful and personal touch to make her birthday that much more special. This was in addition to the Prosecco, water, and appertivos (which were very delicious and generous). We enjoyed these by the island, about half way through the trip, before heading back to Como. It was also very nice that the boat had a bathroom aboard. We originally booked for 2hours but we ended up extending the trip to 3hours because we were having such a great time. If you are looking for a perfect and magical day on Lake Como, Boston Lake Como and Giovanni will make sure that is exactly what you will have!
A perfect day! Giovanni was an excellent captain and host, very accommodating and surprised us with some wonderful snacks.
This was the best lake ride in the entire city! Cost to amenity ratio cannot be topped. Champagne, some beer and water, pizza, utensils, cups and plates were all included. Yes, you can bring any food, drinks, and liquor that you want. There’s a toilet (can’t flush paper) and small fridge that Giovanni allows you to use for your own stuff. At a very good price to split between 7-10 people (10 max). Contact Giovanni before to plan what stops you want to make and he will accommodate it within your time slot. The boat is beautiful with space in the back and front for 10 but the perfect amount of people was 7-8. The tour and boat are perfect for photos and videos. You can play your own music via Bluetooth and set the vibe for your party. Not only was Giovanni sooo cool but he was a really skilled skipper. If he doesn’t have another tour after yours and your party is respectful, you might get lucky with extending your ride for a good rate. We’re definitely doing this again.
We had a great time on board of Giovanni's boat. Both the boat & the service were perfect. We had the chance to see the most enchanting villas and nicest spots of Lake Como. Giovanni provided us, included in the price, 1 bottle of sparkling Italian wine, free water & focaccia with other small snacks.
Excellent service and excellent skills. Impeccable boat I recommend anyone to try a private tour on Lake Como with Giovanni
