We had a great tour with Andrea, he was a good sailor, on time to pick us up and explained the sights and villas well. His restaurant recommendation was also a good one. The boat trip was really a great experience and a must to do in Como
What a spectacular day, Andrea was fun, knowledgeable and knew the perfect amount of interaction with us. Getting on the boat was like turning left and never being able to turn right again. Thanks Andrea, a life long memory created
We had the best tour ever with Simone, he is very knowledgeable and has great suggestions for restaurants and gelatos. The boat is beautiful. Chose B&S boats and you will not be disappointed
We liked it a lot, interesting stories about Villas, beautiful views. The Capitan was very friendly and even adjusted the place of meeting at the very last moment to make it easier for us!
The boat trip itself was wonderful, and our captain was fantastic—very friendly, professional, and made the experience enjoyable. However, I was very disappointed with booking through Viator. We ended up paying almost €900 for a 2-hour boat trip because we were charged extra for our pickup/drop-off location, even though this wasn’t clearly disclosed during the booking process. Afterward, I contacted the other boat company directly and was offered a 3-hour private tour for the same €900, with pickup and drop-off at the location of my choice included. Unfortunately, I couldn’t cancel my Viator reservation because it was less than 24 hours before the trip. This isn’t the first time I’ve found significantly better pricing by booking directly with the provider instead of through Viator. My advice is to always contact the company directly before booking—you may get a better price, more flexibility, and avoid unexpected fees. Again, no complaints about the captain or the boat experience itself. My issue is with the booking platform and the lack of pricing transparency.
Perfect private 3 hour boat tour with Simone! Simone was courtesy, thoughtful, and attentive. He contacted us before our trip to confirm our travel plans and arrived on time. The boat was beautiful, covered and with a heater and blankets. We came during low season and felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves. He spent time explaining the history and notable facts about the Lake and its villages. We visited Bellagio and Varenna and what beautiful and picturesque towns! The ride was very smooth on the lake and Simone got us back to our hotel as scheduled. We wish we had more time to see the rest of the lake. The cost of the tour was fair and competitive. Highly recommend the tour with Simone!
Edoardo, our captain and guide was absolutely fantastic. We booked the 4 hour tour and it was perfect. Edoardo was very personable and had the most amazing knowledge of the lake and all the spectacular villas that are located on Lake Como. I would highly recommend this tour!!!
Went there for mine and my dad’s birthday! Had the best experience ever! Would for sure go back and recommend to anyone who would want to visit Lake Como.
Beautiful new boat. Friendly captain who showed all the sights. We (2 adults 4 kids) loved it. We went for 2 hours and could have done more.
We went with our 2 little kids of 5 & 2 and 1 hour was just perfect for us. Our captain Simone is very friendly and knowledgeable. This attraction is your best chance to explore this stunning landscape with its picturesque villas and luxurious hotels. 100% recommend!
Fantastic tour and a must do! Boat is super nice! Simone and Fernando are incredibly nice and professionals!! We looooved it and for sure will do it again!
Boat tour was wonderful, our skipper Simone was awesome and showed us beautiful spots on the lake, highly recommend for anyone looking to see more of lake como
We had an amazing time and thought Eduardo was a fabulous guide! He was friendly, warm, engaging and welcoming. We got to swim and enjoyed laying on the boat! The apertivo was delicious! My grandson has the time of his life! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
We had the most wonderful evening cruising Lake Como with Eduardo as our captain. He was warm, welcoming, and clearly knows every hidden gem along the lake. The boat ride was smooth and peaceful, giving us plenty of time to take in the breathtaking scenery — elegant villas with manicured gardens, charming lakeside villas, and the dramatic backdrop of the mountains. As the sun went down, the water reflected shades of gold and pink, creating the perfect postcard moment. An absolute must-do if you want to experience the beauty of Como from the best seat in the house!
Great 4 hr tour of the lake for our family of 7 ( adult children). The boat was in great condition and fit our family well, but Eduardo really made the difference. He was waiting at the agreed upon pickup point when we arrived ( you have a choice of locations for pickups). He was engaging, accommodating, and full of interesting commentary on the various sites and villas. He made sure we saw everything on our list. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a private tour of the lake.
What a fabulous way to see the lake. The boat was smart, in excellent condition and driver/owner Eduardo was charming and very accommodating so no problem diverting to Nesso for our son to do some bridge jumping and make his holiday. Highly recommend.
The boat tour was even better than expected! Our captain, Eduardo, was personable and knowledgeable. The scenery was unforgettable. This was easily the best thing we did in Lake Como.
We booked B&S boat services for 2 hours and had the pleasure of Captain Simone. We’re a family of 5, (our children are 5, 3 and 10 months) and everyone had a great time. The boat is lovely, very comfortable with sofa seating but also deck area at the bow and stern (we spent the duration sat at the bow). Simone is super knowledgable, engaging and charismatic. We stopped at Argegno for a quick bite and espresso (believe it’s called Port Cafe) and Simone had arranged a table with a view. Food was great! Highly recommend
We had a fantastic time on our private boat trip! Eduardo was welcoming and professional, the boat was spotless and comfortable, and the entire experience was smooth and relaxing. A truly memorable day, we highly recommend it!
Forget the cookie-cutter tourist boats. B&S Boat Service is the real deal—locals who live on Lake Como and know every secret corner of it. Two dads, two daughters, and one epic day—touring, swimming in water so clear it looks fake, and stopping at a lakeside bar for drinks that tasted like vacation itself. They were beyond accommodating, making us feel less like customers and more like old friends they were showing their backyard to. If you want to experience Lake Como the way it should be—raw, beautiful, and unpretentious—this is the boat you book.
There are days in life that feel like they were ripped out of a movie scene—where everything just clicks, the drinks hit harder, the sun feels like a warm secret whispered just for you, and you realize that maybe, just maybe, you’re living a dream. Our day with B&S Boat Service on Lake Como was exactly that. Two dads. Two daughters. A boat gliding over that impossibly perfect sheet of blue water, where the mountains look like they were painted by the hand of some smug, show-off god. And then there’s the crew—locals. Actual residents of Lake Como who know this lake like a bartender knows your favorite drink. There’s something sacred about that. You’re not funding some faceless tour company, you’re supporting people who live and breathe this lake. And man, do they know how to show it off. They weren’t just accommodating; they were the kind of hosts who make you wonder why everyone else isn’t doing it like this. They knew the best coves, the secret spots, the angles of sunlight that make the water look like liquid sapphire. The girls swam in water so clear it made bottled water look cloudy, and when we stopped at a lakeside bar for drinks, it felt like we had stumbled into a scene only locals get to see. If you want a day that’s more than just a boat ride—something that feels alive, raw, unpretentious, and deeply rooted in the culture of this stunning place—B&S Boat Service is it. It wasn’t a tour. It was an experience. A real, unforgettable day on Lake Como that I’d relive a thousand times if I could.
Everything was perfect — the captain was very polite and had an excellent understanding of hospitality 🤍😌💫 such amazing experience 🔥
Simone with B&S Boat service was fantastic. Simone showed us around and gave us a history lesson on all of the towns and villas throughout Como. We are already booking him again for additional days while we are in Bellagio! This was the highlight of our trip!
From booking to the end, could not have been more perfect! Responses to all my questions (I had a lot) and could not have been nicer. The boat was beautiful and comfortable and our guide Eduardo was amazing! We got to swim in the lake, he toured us all around and was so fun! This bout tour was definitely the highlight of our Europe trip. Incredible!
Edwardo was a wonderful captain! He was very warm and engaging and informative. He's a 10+ star. Recommend him for anyone's guide.
Simone and Edwardo killed it! Some of the most professional boat guys I’ve ever worked with and that’s coming from a Key West guy. Very timely, very accommodating. The showed us the sights and also let us do our own thing. They were relaxed yet on top of everything. 10/10 would be back again tomorrow!
We had the most amazing time we could have ever asked for!! Simon and Edwardo went up and beyond to make our trip so fun! They went around Lake Como showed us the best spots and then took us to individual places where we could get off the boat and see fun things! I can’t thank them enough!! You guys rock!
Everything was amazing. Simone was great! The views were great and the service was unmatched. I recommend 100% to go with them.
This tour was the highlight of our trip. We had a fantastic time learning some of the history of the lake and swimming. Eduardo was friendly and very personable. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you for giving me and my family the time of our life. It was a very special day.
Wonderful experience. Our captain was on time, very polite and kind, and showed us a wonderful tour. Highly recommend.
Incredible! 100% recommend, we booked this trip for a hen do for 2 hours and it did not disappoint. Eduardo is amazing and so friendly with great communication. He sent us all the details we needed and made the whole experience stress free. Worth every single penny!
Amazing tour, very friendly guide. Plenty of space for a group, perfect for seeing the lake. The boat also has a roof if you don’t want to be in the sun the whole time.
Unforgettable Lake Como tour! Stunning views, top service, Bs Boat made it perfect. Kind perso definitely come back!!
Edward was absolutely amazing and one of the most handsome men in Como!! I really recommend this and ensure its a really sunny day to enjoy it so much more!
Edward was a very fun and charismatic host for this tour. I very much enjoyed my trip. Would highly recommend in future to anyone
Eduardo gave us a great experience and was very friendly. He gave us a wonderful tour around Lake Como. He offered us free drinks and prosecco.
very fun boat, Edward was really engaging and funny. really recommend this boat tour. Quick tour around the whole lake and learnt the whole apartment pricing and all the famous people that has been here
Definitely recommend this tour. Amazing experience. Eduardo was very friendly and accommodating. Amazing views and service .
Our private boat tour of Lake Como was truly the highlight of our trip, and we can't recommend it enough! From the moment we stepped aboard, our captain, Eduardo, made the experience exceptional. He was not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly friendly and passionate about the lake and its rich history. As we cruised through the serene waters, Eduardo pointed out the most iconic villas, including Villa Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, and George Clooney’s famous residence. Each stop came with fascinating stories and insights that added so much depth to the stunning views around us. The boat itself was comfortable and beautifully maintained, making it easy to relax and soak in the breathtaking scenery. Whether it was gliding past charming lakeside villages or pausing for photo ops against the dramatic backdrop of the Alps, every moment felt like something out of a postcard. If you're visiting Lake Como, do not miss the chance to explore it by boat—and if you can, ask for Eduardo. His passion for the area and warm hospitality made this tour an unforgettable experience.
Amazing experience on a private boat for our family of 7 ( including a 10 and 13yo). Eduardo was an excellent captain and guide! We would definitely do this again and highly recommend it!
B&S provided an amazing experience. We did both a sunset cocktail cruise one day followed by a full eight hour boat tour the next day. They are exceptionally professional, and make sure all your needs are met. I would highly recommend them and plan to use them again when we return. Seeing lake Como from the boat is really the only way to truly appreciate the beauty of all villages and mountains that make up the lake.
Our family had an incredible boat trip from Como to Bellagio and Varenna. The scenery was breathtaking, with sparkling waters, majestic mountains, and charming lakeside towns. Bellagio was vibrant with its cobblestone streets and waterfront views, while Varenna’s colorful houses and peaceful vibe were a perfect contrast. A special mention to Captain Eduardo and his colleague Martina—they were exceptional. Eduardo navigated smoothly, and Martina’s friendly guidance made the trip even better. It was a day filled with beauty, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended! We had an amazing experience 🥰 Never expected and was spell binding 🥰
Best boat tour by our captain, Eduardo. He was super patient and helpful. The boat itself was very comfortable and aesthetic. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Lake Como.
Had an amazing time sailing , the boast was ultra luxurious and the service was fantastic highly recommended , there were drinks available on board they showed us around all the famous villages in como
I think the boat experience was extremely beautiful , the views and the points our captain took us to were mesmerising and the boat had all the services possible for a great experience. Loved my ride with my besties and my sister ! Indeed a memorable experience with B&s boat services
The trip was flat out amazing. Edo was a wonderful guide, the boat was beautiful, and the views can’t be beaten. Thank you!!
Como is amazing but with Simone’s helpful advice and Eduardo’s vast local knowledge and expert boat driving , the day was made so special for my daughter and I. Thankyou to B. and S. for helping make some absolutely wonderful memories for us. Mille Grazie.
We had an amazing day on Lake Como thanks to Eduardo. He is native to the area, so he knew all the best spots. The boat was very clean and well maintained. Although the wooden boats are cute, Eduardo's boat was perfect for our group of 8 to hang out all day -- it had shade and spots to sunbathe in the front and back. He had towels and drinks ready as we hopped on board. We did the 8-hour tour, so they coordinated a lunch reservation at a delicious little restaurant with amazing lake views. We capped off the day with a dip in the lake at a spot where the locals hang out. It couldn't have been any better.
This was by far the highlight of our trip to Como. We booked B&S for a 4 hour tour with our teen / adult children and left the itinerary up to the captain. We saw all the great "highlights" but also some interesting non-popular sites. The boat was immaculate and very comfortable for 8 people. Our captain was very good at reading the mood, and put on music for the kids (Dance Party) and finished the tour with a swim in a private, beautiful location. We cannot recommend this company and tour enough.
From start to finish the experience was seamless. Simone was amazing at accommodating all our requests and Eduardo was so much fun and a great tour guide on the boat. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
