5.00Our family had an incredible boat tour during our vacation on Lake Como, and it was truly the highlight of our trip. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Our captain was extremely kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He shared interesting information about the beautiful villas and landmarks along the lake
Amazing 1 hour tour
Sarah W,May 9, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The 1 hour tour was great, slight mishap by myself as I thought it went from Bellagio but it was Como city. Rang Marco in a panic and we agreed we would try and get a fast ferry ticket. All worked out in the end and Marco very kindly waited for us. The boat was very clean and comfortable. Good directions to find him from the ferry port too. Only slight downside (may have been my fault due to us making him wait) but I booked this tour specifically because it stated we would see George Clooneys villa (my mum used to be obsessed). However he stated while we were driving we wouldn’t be able to go and visit it. However, just the experience of everything else was well worth the price and I’d highly recommend Marco and his service. His knowledge was excellent and he answered every question the best he could. Thank you Marco
Wonderful day on the water!

5.00We spent a half day on the water w/ Captan Marco and it was wonderful! Save yourself the trouble of trying to figure out how to navigate Lake Como and book this tour. Marco was a great driver and knowledgable in all areas of lake. We had family of all ages on the boat and felt like it was great for everyone. We would definitely book again and maybe go a full day!
Boat Ride of Your Dreams

5.00Wow Captain Mario and the private tour was amazing! This tour normally starts in Lake Como, but he was very accommodating and picked us up where we were staying in Bellagio from there. He had a custom itinerary for us to go see the three main places that was part of my request. We started early and had a nice ride taking in the local sites around Lake Como. We then got dropped off to Villa Carlotta and saw a beautiful garden and museum. There were also breathtaking views to take ideal pictures of the lake and villa. Afterwards we rode to Menaggio for lunch by the lake and amazing sweets. Captain Mario took us to see celebrity homes and historic villas from the lake. The weather began to turn and headed back to safety. He was very caring of our overall experience and recommended this for anyone seeking a private experience!
Outstanding Boat Tour of Lake Como!

5.00Could not have been more pleased. Outstanding experience touring Lake Como with Marco. He was super informative and knowledgeable of everything along the tour, was incredibly accommodating with us for enough time in Bellagio, super kind and generously had a bottle of Prosecco for us! Along with being an excellent photographer for our pictures! The beauty and views along Lake Como are unbeatable and Marco just makes it that much better! Great experience!
A great time with the family!

5.00What a wonderful walk on the lake! Marco, our guide, is very welcoming and considerate. He took the time to tell us lots of little stories about the lake and the villas. We immediately felt good and confident. And the bonus: something to drink with Prosecco! We all had a great time. Thank you Marco!
Great boat and captain

5.00The private boat tour was wonderful. The captain was knowledgeable and helpful. Lunch in Belagio was the perfect break. Wish we could have gone for another few hours.
Wonderful 4 hour Private boat tour with Marco

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00A wonderful private 4 hour boat tour with Marco. We met with Marco on time at the precise dock location. Our 4 hour tour included stops at Bellagio and Varenna. Marco was very friendly and explained many of the highlighted villas including George Clooney's. It was a beautiful day and Marco helped taking many photos . Marco did take the time and slowed down at times and made sure my wife was not getting sea sick. At the end of tour, it was an hour longer! I would not hesitate to recommend Lake Como Boat Tours!
