Great way to see lake & surrounding - Gives you a nice view of your surroundings. We were staying in Bellagio & had limited time for excursions. Weather cancelled our main excursion the day before & booking excursions last minute is difficult in July.

Nice ride! - In living room in Bellagio you have to take a ride on the lake! And this boat is large, comfortable and spacious, with both outdoor (sun!) and Covered berths. There are 2 toilets and the bar (very expensive!!). It is not true that you have to book online, you can do it at the desk by paying by card. The tour should last 90 minutes (70 on weekends) but ours lasted 70 even on Monday... A handy app describes the various villas. Bring your earphones! To be done. Fair price.

Uninformative panoramic tour - I booked this tour through GetYourGuide, but the review is directly with the local Bellagio Boat Prescriber, who runs the Service. Unfortunately, the experience was not satisfactory. You can follow an audio guide via a QR code, but in practice the experience was confusing and poorly cared for. No map or clear indication of the stops on the tour is provided: you never really know where you are or which villa you are looking at. This makes it difficult to follow the audio guide consistently and fully enjoy the ride. In addition, the tour did not entirely follow the planned route: after Villa del Balbianello, the boat turned back, skipping other villas indicated in the guide, such as Villa Balbiano. I expected a more fluid and immersive experience.

Bad experience - We had booked and paid for the trip from Menaggio. We were ready on the boat bridge when the boat arrived. It stood quietly out on the water in front of us for a few minutes. We are called up, and we can not come with because the boat is full (presumably due to overbooking). We could then see the boat sailing on without us. Now we're waiting to get our money back.
