Our boat tour was wonderful! Captain Claudio was great! He showed us so much at lake Como. Me and my wife came here for our belated honeymoon, and we are very happy that we did. Definitely do the the private sunset tour, that is the best 🙂

Our 2-hour boat tour on Lake Como was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and there is truly no better way to experience the beauty of the lake, historic villas, and charming waterfront towns than from the water. What made the experience exceptional was our driver, Stefano. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and personable throughout the tour. He shared interesting information about the area, pointed out notable landmarks, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. Stefano's passion for Lake Como was evident, and his recommendations and insights made the experience feel much more personal than a typical sightseeing tour. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lake Como and strongly suggest requesting Stefano if possible. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Wonderful experience. Our driver was knowledgeable and personable! She was an excellent captain and made sure we were comfortable and safe - and she shared the history and the stories of the villas and towns around the lake. Best trip - we were so pleased. We had time for stops in Bellagio and Varena and her recommendations for where to go were wonderful! We would highly recommend our driver, Elisia.

We had the most unforgettable experience on Lake Como thanks to Davide and Elisa! From the very beginning, Davide went above and beyond to make our day seamless—he not only arranged the perfect lunch reservation for us, but also coordinated with Elisa to personally pick us up, which made everything effortless. Both Davide and Elisa were incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and hidden gems of the lake. They shared fascinating stories and insights at every turn, which made the tour so much richer than just a scenic ride. Their warm hospitality and genuine passion for the area shined through, and we felt completely taken care of the entire time. If you’re looking for a personalized, thoughtful, and truly special way to experience Lake Como, look no further than Davide and Elisa. They made our trip an absolute highlight that we will cherish forever!

Amazing experience and one of most lovely days in our lives. Experiencing Lago Di Como from the superb Colombo 26 boat was a once in a lifetime experience! Davide was the best captain and we really enjoy the Villas and the history and stories about them. Would recommend 1000% and would definitely book our boat tour again with Il Medeghino!

We did a 4 hour private boat tour and it was wonderful! Emanuela is an excellent captain and taught us many beautiful corners of the lake. And of course, by private boat is the best way to get to know the lake. Highly recommended!
