We loved our tour. There were 4 other people on the trip and it was nice and personalized with plenty of time to sight see. Our host was sweet and she was very knowledgeable about the various different sights.

Our captain was very sweet and knowledgeable. She navigated the waters effortlessly and was so fun. The boat was very clean and comfortable. Also able to close up if we experienced bad weather, which we did not.

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 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.

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!

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!

Easy to book - would recommend going if you want a great tour on a sunny day. Very good guide - explained everything, also knew everything about the area & its history.

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.

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.
