Itinerary
We will leave from the pier in Como, in front of the Bar Lario. As soon as you leave you can admire "The Life Electric" designed by the architect Libeskind. We will continue on the western shore of the lake up to Villa Olmo, a Neoclassical villa with a wonderful park and Italian garden.
We will then arrive in Cernobbio, which with Villa Erba, the home of Luchino Visconti, the famous Italian director, and Villa d'Este, currently one of the best hotels in the world, create a truly suggestive Skyline. After the gulf of Cernobbio you can admire Villa Le Fontanelle, which was the home of Gianni Versace.
Continuing on the western shore of the lake we will reach Moltrasio and Carate Urio with their wonderful private villas directly overlooking the lake.
We will then reach Laglio, a lakeside town chosen by George Clooney, who animates the international jet set from his Villa Oleandra.
We will then continue towards Argegno, a splendid fishing village.
At this point of our journey we will cross the lake to take us to the eastern shore to admire the ravine of Nesso, a rock gorge formed by the confluence of two streams which, with its natural waterfall, is dominated by the Civera bridge. It will be possible to swim and dive into the lake from the bridge.
We will continue towards the Villa Pliniana which overlooks the lake, where it will be possible to take a regenerating swim in the lake.
We will then admire the village of Torno which leaps directly onto the lake. Continuing towards Como we will then be able to admire the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
The visit will end with a tour in front of the very special Villa Troubetzkoy.
At the end of our tour you will be able to admire viale Geno di Como, with its marvelous city villas. Drop offs.

This was very disappointing. The dock is a zoo and there is no one from the vendor to greet or guide you. Andrea texted me to say she was in a red boat. We were there on time for our tour. It took her ten minutes to get to the dock so we started ten minutes late. No apology or acknowledgement of the late start. She did not say much when we got on. She didn't introduce herself to our whole party or welcome us to Como (we had just arrived). This is really a boat ride, not a tour. She hardly said anything, basically drove around pointing out a few villas along the shore with very limited superficial information. I would not book this again.
Andrea was amazing, she was very professional and nice
Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! We hope to see you soon! Marco & Stefano.
Our guide Andrea was amazing! We were running late and she was gracious enough to wait for us and give us the entire amount of booked time. So appreciative!

Communication via text leading up to our pick up was great. Andrea was right on time and greeted us with a smile. The tour gave us a fun sightseeing adventure with plenty of local knowledge from Andrea. Andrea even gave us time for a quick dip in the lake. Would highly recommend for anyone planning on visiting lake Como. Thank you!!

Our guide Andrea was a delight! She’s a very poised young lady in a male dominated job. Our family of 4 were all really impressed by her knowledge and enthusiasm for Lake Como which comes from her family’s multi-generational roots there. We enjoyed hearing about her experience growing up on the lake in addition to all the famous houses, hotels, and landmarks. The chilled prosecco and cold beers capped off an incredible afternoon.
Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! We hope to see you soon! Marco & Stefano.
We had an unbelievable experience. Andrea made this a wonderful boat trip for my girlfriend and I. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. Could not have asked for a better experience. Seamless pick up and drop off. 10/10 would book again.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the items on display in the Accademia and especially of The David. Skipping the line was also very convenient.
Marco did an amazing tour for our family. It was a perfect ending to two weeks in Italy!!

We had an amazing time exploring Lake Como with Matei as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about the area's history, culture, and landmarks throughout the tour. His passion and expertise really brought everything to life. Beyond that, Matei was warm, friendly, and us both feel welcome from the start. He was approachable, engaging, and happy to answer any questions, making the whole experience both enjoyable and informative. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Matei to anyone visiting Lake Como. Thank you for helping make our trip so memorable!
