Great Trip! We had a wonderful time on our private boat trip! Very informative on the different Villas and the cities around the lake. Topped off with a bottle of Prosecco. Fantastic!

  Marco was an amazing English-speaking guide. The tour was exactly what we hoped for. The tour of Villa Balbienello was such a wonderful surprise as well.

Our taxi boat driver, Matteo, was excellent. He picked us up right on time in Varenna, and then cruised the parts of the lake with the most points of interest, telling us about the various villas and hotels. This boat tour helped us get oriented and told us where we would like to return during our 4-day stay. read less

We opted for narrative, but we had a few moments of Bocelli while sipping our Sprtiz! (I ordered the prosecco and brought the Aperol and seltzer ourselves). We stopped on Isola Comacina for cappucino's and continued our way around the lake to see lovely villa's and quaint towns. Don't hesitate to take this memorable journey! read less

Boat was very clean and we could even charge our phones on board. Offered everyone a free bottle of water. The views from the boat were spectacular!
Only down side was that the tour of the villa took too long we only had about fifteen minutes to explore the grounds on our own. If you want to explore, skip the tour, kind of wish we would have. :( not that the tour wasn't nice,the guide was and the villa is beautiful but we wanted to see the gardens and the rest of the grounds but sadly we were unable to.
On a side note the village of Varenna is amazing! Like stepping back in time. The pasta at Bar Il Molo was excellent. Also really nice shops for leather goods and wine, Il Bottaio. Also another small one, but sadly can't remember the name.
Enjoy! read less

I failed to see their map for location of pick up but found the boat exactly at the meeting time of 9AM.
Matteo greeted us and inquired as to whether we wanted just a ride or a ride with explanations of what we were seeing. We requested the explanation. The weather was perfect. We stood up most of the time to fully enjoy the views. Seating is available.
All four of us thought the three hour tour was fabulous and provided a great view of Lake Como and surroundings and showed us areas that we wished to return to. Matteo was very nice. More read less

Un'esperienza unica, da provare assolutamente almeno una volta nella vita!!!! Grande Luca Taxi

A perfect tour Matteo gave us a wonderful tour of the lake and nearby towns. We loved his boat and his commentary was informative and fun.
It was a bit cold but we didn't mind. Rug up and enjoy the experience.
