Cruise Lake Como from Bellagio past famous villas, film locations, gardens, and Isola Comacina on an affordable shared boat tour.
“Location easy to find. Nice waterfront walk to get there. Guide is the person saying the name of the Villa you quickly pass it listening to a 4 sentence description of it on an app you download to your phone—no guide. It’s a nice general drive by overview of the nearby lake. In early Oct. (10/8-10/12) @ 15:45 cruise dress warm w/ hooded raincoat. Umbrellas obstruct views if you sit up top. & there’s only an 8’x6’ covering w/ a bench that faces stern. Otherwise top deck exposed. There is an enclosed lower deck. Shared means 30+ others with you on top deck. See photo with pic of beige boat…”

“Had an amazing trip with friendly and very knowledgeable guide. Would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see Como and Bellagio and hear lots of useful information as you go round. Could not fault this trip. Ran like clock work and was great to get priority boarding on the boat and skip the long queue as the boat we got was sold out on the day. There was a group of 10 of us and everyone said what a fantastic trip this was.”

“This was just a great experience, what a way to see Como from the water. We booked a private 2 hours trip, and our skipper Fabio was really welcoming, friendly, fun and knowledgeable. As a local, he clearly loves this area deeply, and he shared the history of the villas lining the lake, took us to the Nessa waterfalls and encouraged us to swim just of Villa Pliniana. We enjoyed a bottle of ice cold local wine, soft drinks for the kids, as we returned to the pier at Como. We would do again in a heartbeat.”
