Private Scenic Luxury Boat Tour! - We had such a wonderful private boat tour around Lake Como celebrating our honeymoon! Pier our guide was great at communication and messaged us on WhatsApp ahead of time so we were able to easily meet him at the dock. The boat was stunning and we loved hearing more at each stop. It was so lovely to have it private and a bottle of prosecco to share! He was kind to take pictures of us as well. This was one of our highlights of our 2 week trip to Italy! Thank you!

Fun day trip on the water - We had a great time with Roberto. He was right on time. The doc was easy to find. He shared the history of the lakes. If you’re in Varenna you must take the time to enjoy the water.

1 our tour of lake Como from Varenna - All I can say is WOW! The captains on this tour are absolutely amazing. Not only did they accommodate a time change due to poor weather but they were so welcoming and fun during the tour. The experience was truly special and I would do it again if I have the chance to re visit lake Como. They answer messages quickly and the dock is super easy to find. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting!!
