A necessary experience in Bellagio - We had so much fun on the boat tour, it’s the most beautiful way to see Lake Como. We got to swim and learnt a lot about the history of the lake and the villas as we cruised around in the sun.

You will not be disappointed… - What an amazing 3 hours with Pier for a private tour with my daughter and niece. First of all, great value for the expense. He was way less expensive than other private tours. On top of that, he is just a delight to tour with. The boat was great, he is from Bellagio and had so much local knowledge. In addition, his communications were great during the booking process. I cannot more highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed. Plus, Piet and a wonderful and kind person. He made it even more special.

PERFECT!! - We wanted a 2-hour tour from Bellagio. We chose Ermes based on the perfect 5-star review ratings (all of which were recent). My wife didn't want to go on a Venetian taxi-style boat because they're uncovered and the boat has a bimini canopy. Our skipper and boat owner Pier was wonderful. Coming from a multi-gererational Bellagio family, he gave us interesting insights into not just the sights but also the local life. And the price was very good value compared to the local companies. Could not recommend more highly!! Peter (Sydney)

Pierre is a diamond 💎 - We had such a lovely couple of hours out on the lake with Pierre! He picked us up from the east side of Bellagio and then took us all around Como (save for Varenna because we’re checking that out later). He had a story for each villa we saw, knew the history of each, answered tons of my questions about life on Como, and so on. He’s born and raised in Bellagio so you know he truly loves what he does! He brought Prosecco for us and stopped off for 20m in a peaceful part of the lake for us to take a dip. He even took a picture of us in front of Babianello 😂 He’s a one-man operation so if a trip with an authentic Bellagio-born chap is what you think you’d like, I 100% recommend booking in!

Amazing tour and guide - We had a great time on our Lake Como boat tour. Pier was a fantastic and worked with us via WhatsApp to pick the best time and pick up spot for our tour. We chose to take our tour around sunset for 2 outs and Pier shared his great knowledge of Como Lake, the villas, and their history. Absolutely recommend booking this experience!

Awesome Day on Como - Trip exceeded expectations. Piers laid on a glorious summer day and the trip was all we hoped and to ticked all the boxes for us . A huge plus was his first class communication from day one through to the he day on the boat. The spare time to stop for lunch was a great opportunity.

A day that exceeded expectations - Perfect day on a perfect lake 😎 Pier was an excellent host with very professional communication before the trip and on the day. Glass of Prosecco was a nice touch as was time to spare with a stop at one of the villages for lunch. George Clooney was not home but hey he got a great villa

Highly recommend! - This boat tour was seriously perfect! Pierre was extremely kind, knowledgeable and friendly. He was very communicative leading up to the tour and made the booking process a breeze. We did the 3 hour tour and wish we could've done longer! We had originally planned the tour for a day that the weather looked bad, and we were able to change it to the next day without any issue. You see all the famous villas from the boat and also have time to swim in the beautiful lake and sip champagne. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a private boat experience with a great captain!

Highly recommend Ermes Boat Tours for a wonderful experience! - My family of 4 had a wonderful boat tour guided by Pierre. I had reached out to him prior to our trip and he made it very easy to make arrangements and was extremely accommodating. I appreciated receiving updates prior to the trip. We got a great tour of the lake and some great stories about the villas. Pierre even surprised my husband and I with some Prosecco - a really lovely touch. My children are still talking about the amazing boat tour - a definite trip highlight for all of us. I did a lot of research prior to booking and having nothing but positive things to say about our experience. I highly recommend Ermes Boat Tours - a five star experience!

Wonderful experience - We chose to do the boat excursion because we believe it is a point of view not to be missed when visiting Como. We and our friends from America were thrilled and this was thanks to Pier's skill, kindness, sympathy and expertise. The tour to see the beauties of Lake Como was explained in a perfect and pleasant way by Pier (excellent his English). With caution and attention it allowed us to also take a pleasant bath in the lake. All accompanied by a toast with a bottle of Prosecco affected by him. Absolutely extraordinary experience and we recommend it to anyone who wants to come and visit our lake with a guy of great professionalism and at an honest price. Thank you Pier for this wonderful experience!
