Don't hesitate to book this. Vlad was a great host and captain, friendly and accommodating. Small but comfortable vessel with blankets and pillows! And prosecco, yes!
Nice boat tour of Mid Lake Como.

Nice day on the water with Captain Vlad. He is very patient, knowledgeable about the area and affable. Vlad showed us the important villas and areas. The pickup area is centrally situated. Apertivo was a nice touch.
Wonderful boat tour!!

Our Lake Como boat tour was a highlight of our trip! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The boat was very comfortable, with plenty of space to relax and take in the views. Cruising past the charming villages, historic villas, and stunning gardens felt like stepping into a postcard. Vlad, our captain was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the lake. He shared fascinating stories and local insights that made the experience so much better. We loved hearing about the history behind Villa Balbianello and other villas around the lake. Highly recommend!
Great experience!

Vlad was a great tour guide. Very personable and accommodating. He was able to move our tour up to have a much nicer experience since the weather did not look great for the next day. Highly recommend a tour with Vlad!

I had to cancel my boat trip at the last minute due to an unexpected emergency, and although Viator’s policy typically does not allow refunds in such cases, Vlad went above and beyond to assist me. He proactively contacted Viator on my behalf, explained the situation, and ensured that I was not charged. He also reached out afterwards to keep me updated, which I truly appreciated. Vlad is exceptionally professional and kind. I will definitely look him up on my next visit to Como.
Great tour! Beautiful boat!!

Absolutely amazing!!! My husband and I had a wonderful time with Vlad as our captain on their brand new boat. It was beautiful and comfortable. Lake Como was a little bit chilly and Vlad had blankets and towels for us to use. We also had a couple of glasses of Prosecco. 10/10 experience. I will say the ferry ride to get to Tremezzo from Como took us 2 hours and that was a surprise but still a beautiful journey.
A fantasy come true.

It is impossible to describe the experience in words, you have to live it. Lake di Como is a fantasy and being able to see it from the boat, with music in the background, while Vlad and Katia tell you interesting facts is an experience that we all need to live once in a lifetime. I'd repeat a thousand more times.
Beautiful views and relaxing tour

Vlad was wonderful! He was informative providing us some history and stories about the area and of course the lake. He was on time and made sure we were comfortable throughout our tour. Just a side note: if the water is rough, you will need to be very careful and mobile getting into the boat off the very small dock.
