Private Lake Como Boat Tour: The Wooden Venetian Limo Escape

Stefano was great amazing guide strongly recommended very informative learned a lot about the history here

Amazing afternoon with Matei on Lake Como! Service was top notch. We had to pivot before the trip due to bad weather and they were very accommodating for changing dates and pickup location. Boat was beautiful, prosecco was plentiful and it was a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!

it was so romantic, it was worth the price for the experience and the privacy. We did four hours with a dinner. They picked us up and gave us a tour then dropped us off at the restaurant for dinner and waited for us. Marco was so knowledgeable and kind. He was very friendly and polite. It was only the two of us. I’d recommend for anybody who wants a nice private tour or even a romantic evening! We did it for our honeymoon. We appreciate Marco so much, would definitely book again!

We had the most beautiful experience! Visiting lake como and doing this excursion with Mateo was definetely the hightlight of our trip. First, he was very flexible especially after we missed our train and he rescheduled us for a different time on the same day. Second, the service Mateo provided was 10/10. He was very sweet, patient and even stopped a few times so we could do pictures. Also, we felt safe at all times especially with my baby boy who also came with us. I totally recommend this company for your next visit to Lake como and will def contact them next time I visit. Thank you!!!

Our boat captain Stefano was the best!! This experience truly made our trip to Italy. The boat was beautiful and in impeccable shape. The views were amazing, we saw all of the highlights. Stefano was amazing, taught us so much about the area and Italian culture. Overall, we had the best time and I highly highly recommend this experience, it will be the highlight of your trip!

Franco made this a beautiful experience for my mom and I. We appreciated his kindness and knowledge. I highly recommend this service for the viewing of the lake!

It was a wonderful time on the Lake. We had Matei as our driver and he was absolutely wonderful. Stopping at villas and taking pictures for us while making sure we were comfortable. Marco who was coordinating our tour was very communicative and accommodating as we missed the ferry to our starting point and was able to pick us up from Bellagio. Highly recommend if looking for a relaxing time on the boat and professional service.

Wonderful guide and driver gave us detailed information and stories about the villas snd the history. He was funny and engsging. The boat was beautiful, fast and had a traditional style including wood while also being new. It was the BEST experience of our trip to Italy

Amazing experience and wonderful driver Stefano!

We had a lovely experience with our family! Stefano was a great captain, amazing about telling us about some of the key gems on lake Como!

Stefano was amazing, he showed us all of the amazing villas and hotels on Lake Como. He was so proud to show us his village where his family has lived in the same house for 7 generations.

The boat tour with Stefano was amazing. A beautiful, comfortable boat with interesting history and stops along the way! Stefano was the best!!!

Beautiful one hour boat tour that gave a great overview of the lake. Stephano was a great captain with excellent descriptions of everything we saw. I would highly recommend!

Stefano was awesome and gave us a very detailed history of the lake and everything that it has to offer!

Fantastic boat ride with Stefano! Perfect mix of pointing out interesting highlights and just enjoying the boat ride. A highlight for sure! Grazie

In the hour tour we had, Stefano showed us some of Lake Como’s most notable sites and was charismatic and was happy to take pictures of my fiancée and I. The boat itself is very beautiful and clean, and gives a very “Lake Como” aesthetic if that’s what you’re looking for.

We had a fantastic 2 hr boat ride experience with Stefano. He grew up on the lake and enjoyed his stories. He made the experience so amazing. This is well worth the money.

We had an amazing time! Our captain, Matei was very knowledgeable and showed us all of the famous spots and took us to the safest spot to jump in to swim. Our boat ride was a highlight of our trip!

A highlight of our trip, Stefano was our gracious captain. The 3 of us were treated royally and we loved his descriptions of lake life. We felt lucky to have him!

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our private wooden speedboat tour of Lake Como! It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Seeing Lake Como from the water is spectacular, and the beautiful wooden boat made the experience even more special. The scenery was breathtaking, the ride was relaxing and fun, and it was a wonderful way to see the towns, villas and mountains surrounding the lake. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Lake Como. Five stars!

Stefano sets the standard for Italian hospitality and graciousness, he is accommodating professional and his boat craft is first class we highly recommend a boat ride with stefano make sure to get two hours because it is very much worth it!

It was a beautiful ride and well worth the money! Stefano was engaging, funny and provided very detailed information on the sights during the tour. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Amazing 1 hour tour :) It was fast, but that's all the time we had. Lorenzo showed us so much in an hour and we even had time for a little swim!

The experience was fantastic, from beginning to end. Marco was very informative, charming and hospitable. The best view of the town on Lago di Como are from the water, in my opinion, and a once in a lifetime splurge excursion. I do not know all of the operators on the lake, but I cannot imagine anyone doing it much better... And I am not someone to give unearned compliments, so this was a day that was very memorable for me, my wife and daughter... Highly recommended. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable day!

We had an unforgettable boat ride on Lake Como with Captain Stefano. He showed us not just the must-see spots, but also gave us a feel for the real Italy, sharing authentic local insight and little stories that made it all come alive. He balanced the prime sights with that genuine everyday side you wouldn’t find on your own. The experience was so relaxing and enjoyable, I actually forgot my phone on the boat. They personally brought it back and handed it to me. Truly above and beyond. Five stars without a doubt. Thank You!

Our boat trip with Stefano was a highlight of our time in Lake Como! Stefano shared interesting history about the lake, and his boat is absolutely stunning! It was the perfect activity for our family.

Had a chance to spend the afternoon on a four hour ride around the lake with Stefano. It was truly spectacular. From the charming history of the lake to the insight only a 5th generation resident can share, we had the best of times. Really, 4 hours was about right. We could have rushed to see the whole lake in three with simple drive-bys but the depth and friendship was built with time. Thank you to Hercules (company) and Stefano, our wonderful Captain!

We had an amazing experience with Stefano and couldn’t have asked for a better host! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and took the time to show us everything we needed to know before heading out on the boat. He was incredibly friendly, kind, and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The boat was fantastic, and exploring Lake Como this way was one of the highlights of our trip. His recommendations and local knowledge made the experience even more special. If you’re looking to rent a boat in Como, I highly recommend booking with him. Thank you for such a memorable day—we’d definitely do it again!

My fiancé and I had the best time on our boat tour with Stefano, one of the highlights of our trip. He picked us up & dropped us off right from our hotel, super easy. Since he grew up on Lake Como, he knows everything about the lake and all of the villas- was so fun hearing the stories and history behind everything we saw. Stefano was amazing- super easy to talk to, spoke great English, and made the whole experience feel personal. If you're visiting Lake Como, definitely book with him. We had such an amazing time, and the next time we're back, we'll 100% be booking another tour with him. Couldn't recommend more!

This experience was the highlight of our trip to Lake Como. Stefano shared the rich history of each historical site and truly took the time to explain it’s significance. The fact that he speaks 4 languages was an added bonus. Truly an incredible experience. We will be back.

Stefano was our guide, he was flexible from the start, we changed our pickup location to our hotel dock and it was so easy to contact him. The boat was beautiful and Stefano was knowledgeable and entertaining, we especially loved hearing about his local knowledge and family history (they have lived on the lake for 7 generations). He provided great blend of history, local knowledge and a bit of fun anecdotes about celebrities. Bonus - he speaks 7 languages!

This was a great experience! Stefano was a great tour guide who showed us all of the great spots and had additional insight on each place. The boat was beautiful, the drinks were cold and refreshing and we even got to stop and take a dip in the lake. Highly recommend, would also suggest doing the 2 hour tour!

Highly recommend! Our tour guide, Stefano was engaging, pleasant and gave us a wonderful tour of the lake. He was the highlight of our trip!

Marco was an excellent host! We enjoyed the tour and appreciated that he explained the history of the villas. The boat was very beautiful and romantic!

My family and I did a boat tour of Lake Como and I would highly recommend it. Our boat captain Stefano was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the sights to see on the lake as well as the history of the area. Well done Stefano. Excellent boat captain.

Stefano was our captain and guide, and he truly saved our day. Our train from Milan was delayed twice, causing us to arrive nearly two hours late for our scheduled tour. Throughout the delay, Stefano stayed in constant contact with me via WhatsApp and Viator and graciously waited for us to arrive. Despite the inconvenience, he skipped his own break to ensure we could still enjoy the full two-hour experience. He gave us a wonderful tour of Lake Como, sharing fascinating stories about the area's history, pointing out landmarks, and even showing us the fishermen's village where he lives. Our day did not start off well, but thanks to Stefano's exceptional hospitality, flexibility, and kindness, it turned into one of the highlights of our trip. We had a truly enjoyable experience on Lake Como, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic tour.

It was so great! Boat was clean and comfortable. Captain Stefano was very kind and fun. He told us the information of different villas. Highly recommended!

Stefano was absolutely fantastic. He took us to several sites on our 1hr ride, was very informative and had some great stories to tell. The supply of drinks hit the spot. We all had a memorable experience that will stay with us forever.

We had the BEST EXPERIENCE! We had an amazing time and Stefano was the perfect captain, so knowledgeable on the area. He made us feel like family, we would definitely book again.

Stefano was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome and comfortable. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does. We had such a wonderful time that our only regret is booking just one hour we wish we had booked much longer! It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Stefano went above and beyond to make the experience special, and we will be talking about it for a long time. Thank you again, Stefano, for creating such a memorable experience for us. We hope to see you again next year. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience.

What a great experience we had, I messed up the days of the trip and they happily help me change the days with no charge. Boat was spot on and Alice was so informative, we got engaged on the trip and I wouldn’t do it any other way. Thank you again

We had the absolute best time with Stefano on our Lake Como tour! From the moment we got on the boat, it felt less like a tour and more like cruising the lake with a friend. He was super accommodating with our schedule. No rush, no pressure — he just made it work. He’s also incredibly knowledgeable about all the iconic spots around the lake and shared fascinating stories about the history of the boat itself, which added such a special touch to the experience. 10/10 would recommend Stefano to anyone visiting Lake Como. We’ll definitely be booking with him again on our next trip!

Clear communication from start to finish. The boat arrived right on time. The boat ride was smooth and pleasant, and the boat captain spoke English very well. The tour of the lake was very enjoyable for our family. We were going to take the ferry back from Bellagio after asking to be dropped off there, but we had to call the boat back because the ferry situation turned chaotic. They were very responsive and accommodating when I needed to book a last-minute boat ride back.

Amazing experience with Stefano, it was a very good time with friends on Como Lake ! We liked the kidness of Stefano, the tourist explanations, the music on board and the prosecco :) Thank you so much

Alice, our guide and driver, was exceptional. We arrived to perfect weather, but she quickly spotted that our scheduled private cruise the following day would be met with steady rain. Without hesitation, she reached out and suggested switching our cruise to that very afternoon so we could make the most of the sunshine. It was exactly the kind of proactive, thoughtful service that elevates a good trip into a great one. The result? A flawless experience. The boat was beautiful, the lake was at its postcard best, and Alice’s knowledge of the area added depth and color to every moment. After an early train journey from Florence to Lake Como, it was the perfect way to ease into our stay. A picture-perfect ending to our first day—and entirely thanks to Alice’s instinct and care.

Engaging tour with Umberto and Stefano- they were friendly and showed all the highlights. We had an infant with us and they were very accomodatung. The Prosecco was a nice touch!

Alice was wonderful and gave us a lot of history and stories about the villas and cities. Would definitely do it again!

What a fabulous experience with Alice! She had amazing commentary and information about the villas in the history of Lake Como and the boat ride was exceptional. As a travel agency owner and someone who books Lake Como often I feel confident in providing the service to my clients over and over again. We'll done Alice!

It was such a wonderful experience. The boat was gorgeous and the captain Alice was amazing. She gave us all the history on Lake Como. So worth it .
