Must do in Lake Como!! - The most heavenly day on Lake Como! This was our favorite activity of our trip. The boat was the perfect size for our group of 4 to all lay out and enjoy prosecco while taking in the views. Our guide was fantastic and showed us good swimming spots and allowed us to get out and swim in the lake, pointed out famous villas and celebrity-owned estates, took photos for us, and more. Truly no more beautiful and fun way to see Lake Como!

Beautiful Tour to Take in all of the Wonders of Lake Como - My wife and I booked this tour to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. We decided to go with a 4-hour tour on the lake and it was worth every second. The boat was extremely comfortable to lay and sit on for the 4 hour timeframe. We spent much of the time sightseeing all of the major towns and famous villas surrounding the lake. We also spent a half hour dipping our feet in the water and drinking prosecco in a calm part of the lake. Our guide Luca was exceptional and a pleasure to be with throughout the tour. He was also more than generous offering up recommendations of where to shop/eat/etc. around all of the towns on Como. I will be recommending this tour to all of my family and friends that decide to visit Lake Como!

Better than Expected! - The boat tour was fantastic! Our boat captain Gabriela was right on time to the agreed upon pickup location. He even called in advance. Gabriela was knowledgeable of the area, polite, courteous, young, energetic, and flexible on tour approach. The swim in the lake (with towels provided) with Prosecco following may have been the highlight of the tour. Highly recommend this tour with Gabriela as your Captain.

Best boat tour! - My friend and I booked this tour for our last night in Lake Como at 7:00 pm. It was amazing the driver/owner of the company, Luca, was very nice and knowledgeable about the area. We were able to see a lot of the cool landmarks after we had time to swim! We both agreed it was the best night of our entire trip!

Very Nice Experience - Excellent tour, great diver, and very good and personal service. Was great for my family of four. He was right on time and waited while we finished breakfast at a nearby dock in central Bellagio. Enjoyed Prosecco while learning about the Lake and seeing beautiful sites.

A breezy tour of Lago di Como - We had a sincerely amazing time on our 3-hour tour of Lake Como. Yassine made the day extremely special and very enjoyable. Having grown up in Bellagio, he was a wealth of history and shared many insights taking him back to his earlier, perhaps more adventurous years. The craft was very comfy, cold drinks were provided and a Prosecco toast was the icing on the cake. He was very accommodating, asking how we wanted to spend the time, we opted to leave it in his very capable hands and were not disappointed! We were a group of 4 adults and the size of the boat was as very good. I strongly recommend booking time with Lake Tour Bellagio, and if you’re lucky, Yassine will be your gracious guide. Cheers!

Total Scam. Now I have to wait 4 days to have my money back. They cancel my booking because I refused to pay 150 euros more - [19/08, 22:09] +39 346 174 8022: Hi Yves, it's Yassine by Lake Tour Bellagio. I am contacting you about your reservation for tomorrow [19/08, 22:09] +39 346 174 8022: Unfortunately there was an error with the booking system [19/08, 22:09] +39 346 174 8022: We have an other reservation at 12pm [19/08, 22:10] +39 346 174 8022: Is it fine for you to start the tour earlier? Like 9.30? [19/08, 22:34] Yves d'Erneville: Hi Yassine. Unfortunately we can't. We can do after your 12pm [19/08, 22:43] +39 346 174 8022: We don't have any availability after 12pm. If you would like we have available a wooden boat [19/08, 22:45] +39 346 174 8022: It's available at 11.30am [19/08, 22:46] +39 346 174 8022: But has an extra cost of 150€ [19/08, 22:47] Yves d'Erneville: The extra cost should be for you since you had a problem with your booking system. Is that not client satisfaction?
