WONDERFUL - I recommend this experience with Pietro and Federica, they have been lovely, kind, the wonderful walk. They have explained each Villa seen on the walk, and stopped us for a bath.All wonderful, but the highlight for my family and me, is to find people like them, charming, smiling, the boat ride can be very nice but without people like them it would not be the same.

A great time on lake como! - Our group had a great time seeing all the nice properties around the lake and enjoying the beautiful views, while sipping on Prosecco. Best part was getting to swim in a bay for about 30 mins after riding around! Our group of 6 adults just fit in the boat. The guides were super nice and informative. Highly recommend!
