Experience a half day aboard admiring the beauty of the lake in the expert company of your personal captain. Departing from Como this daytrip starts by heading north in the direction of Bellagio allowing you to take in some unique and historical villas as well as luxury hotels for a sightseeing extravaganza. Known as the “Pearl of the Lake”, Bellagio is one of the magical destinations on offer during this tour with other options being the picturesque villages of Varenna or Pescallo in the superior part of the lake known as the “Lake Como Triangle”. Upon advance request to your captain, a special lake view lunch can be pre-arranged as an additional stop.
We had the perfect day with Adriano on our boat tour on Lake Como. Adriano was a wonderful captain letting every take a turn driving the boat and stopping for a few in our group to take a swim. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and just a fun guy to be around. I would highly recommended this tour if you are in the area.
Our boat tour with Adriano was wonderful! One of my favorite experiences from this trip.
Such an amazing day on Lake Como! I compared four different boat tour companies before booking, and I’m so glad I chose this one. The communication was great from the start, and the boat was easily the nicest one — new, stylish and super comfortable. It was a little more expensive than some of the others, but 100% worth it. We couldn’t have asked for a better captain. He was friendly, relaxed and knew so much about Lake Como, its history and the villas. We had Aperol Spritzes and some snacks on board, and he even made our wish come true by taking us to a spot where we could jump from a bridge into the lake — definitely one of the highlights! Such a fun day with friends, and a big part of that was thanks to our captain. I’d definitely book again next summer!

Our day on Lake Como with Adriano was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we booked, his communication was outstanding, and everything was effortless. He even made our restaurant reservations in advance, which made the day completely stress-free. His boat was impeccably stocked with drinks, snacks, towels, and sunscreen—every thoughtful detail was covered. But what truly set Adriano apart was his incredible knowledge of Lake Como. He shared fascinating history, pointed out beautiful villas and hidden gems, and tailored the day entirely around what we wanted to see and do. He also found the perfect spot for us to jump in and swim in the crystal-clear lake, which was one of the highlights of the day. Beyond being an outstanding captain, Adriano was simply a joy to spend the day with. He was warm, personable, playful, and made us feel like old friends. He even invited us to take the helm and drive the boat, which was such a fun and memorable experience! Nothing ever felt rushed or scripted—he was completely flexible and happy to customize the experience to whatever interested us. If you’re looking for the absolute best way to experience Lake Como, look no further. Adriano delivered a perfect day that exceeded every expectation. We would book with him again in a heartbeat and recommend him without hesitation. Five stars aren’t enough!
Our private boat tour was AMAZING! Adriano was so friendly and helpful and made us feel so comfortable. he was the best guide on lake como. we went on a 5 hr boat tour and he let us stop twice to swim and once to eat lunch. my family had an amazing time. I HIGHLY recommend Adriano from serious boating, and I can’t wait to book with him again. worth the price.
Our private boat tour with Adriano was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Lake Como! He was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the experience both relaxing and unforgettable. Seeing the beauty of Lake Como from the water was absolutely breathtaking, and Adriano made sure we experienced the very best of it. If you're visiting Lake Como, don't miss the opportunity to book a private tour. Thank you, Adriano, for such an amazing day and memories we'll always cherish!
Adriano was a wonderful captain and guide. His boat was clean and he was very safe (it rained on our way back) and considerate of our comfort. He was funny, friendly, and responsive when we asked to make slight changes to our plan (we wanted to have extended time in Bellagio) — plus he picked us up right from our hotel dock so we saved time by not having to go into Como. Highly recommend!
Adriano was so nice and knowledgeable. We loved learning about all the places on the lake. He went out of his way to make our day perfect. I will tell all my family & friends to call him when they are in Lake Como.
Adriano has a wealth of information about Lake Como. He spent a lot of time giving us detailed info about the lake and the towns around it, including all the villas. He is great with kids, and is very flexible with what you want to do on the lake. We even had a chance to hop in the lake at one point. Adriano was very kind, considerate, and really took it personally that we had a fabulous experience. We spent two weeks in Europe and this was our best day. Highly recommended boat experience. We booked this last minute, and he was very accommodating on our timetable and desires for the trip.
Fantastic day out with Adriano…we were 6 with our 80y old parents and Adriano was not only a great and knowledgeable guide but most importantly an absolute gentleman! It felt like we saw everything on the lake, time to swim and lots of laughs!
Our favourite experience in Como! We had a wonderful couple of hours on the boat with Adriano. His welcoming and friendly nature and fantastic knowledge of the lake made this trip an unforgettable one. We would definitely recommend this trip. Can’t wait to return to further explore Lake Como! Thank you again Adriano.
It was an absolutely wonderful trip, and Captain Adriano truly made our day special and unforgettable. His kindness, professionalism, and warm personality made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and his positive energy created such a great atmosphere throughout the journey. We couldn’t have asked for a better captain—thank you for turning this into a beautiful memory we will always cherish!
One of our best experiences in Lake Como! The tour was amazing, the captain was very friendly and entertained us along the way with information about all the villas we were passing by. The “Dolce vita” boat looked great, truly a luxury boat. I booked the tour for my Birthday, so the included Prosecco bottle on board was spot on. We took some amazing pictures and had a really great time! I will definitely book this tour again if I will come back to Como. Oana
I called Adriano to propose and I have absolutely no regrets about my choice. My whole family was very happy with this moment. A kind, caring and very attentive person. Go ahead with your eyes closed!
Adriano gave us a beautiful lake day. A truly incredible captain who told us all the secrets of Como and all the villages. I recommend it especially for its naturalness and delicacy.
