“Captain DJ George (with his great music selection and dance moves!) was awesome and we had a lot of fun! Special highlights of the trip were the Roman ruins & Lovers Bridge, where we saw some locals relieving themselves from the heat and jumping in Lake Como waters, a stop in Bellagio (huge crowds are normal) where we got a beautiful, watercolor painting and handmade Christmas ornaments from local artists, and a stop by one of the top 10 beautiful houses in the world (sorry…it wasn’t George’s but that was cool too)!

Private luxury speedboat on Lake Como with Captain Paolo: villa sights, Isola Comacina swim stop, apéritivo, English, up to 8.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our boat trip with Paolo! There were 6 of us on a private 4 hour tour. I wish we could have had the boat for the whole day! Paolo arrived on time at the pick up point and returned us safely back on time! During the ride he pointed out some important/significant villas and landscape details, and he answered our questions, and told a few interesting stories. We did not feel like we were on a “tour” but more of an enjoyable “ride”. He was friendly, and a good boat driver, never going too fast to enjoy the scenery or talk to each other. We stopped and…”

1-hour private cruise on Lake Como aboard the Invictus tender yacht for up to 6, passing Como, Cernobbio, Moltrasio and Torno.
“Our captain was very nice and knowledgeable! We enjoyed the history and stories he told us. The views were breathtaking and the music was wonderful. However, I am unable to give it 5 stars because our tour started 30 minutes late. It was explained that there were technical difficulties but when the boat arrived there was another group finishing their tour and food from their trip was left behind when we started our tour. It also felt rushed when we were brought on to the boat, which could have been due to the late start but it made it feel less than relaxed. The description noted that prosecco and water…”

“The full day experience with Paolo was amazing. He was very thoughtful and deliberate in planning the details of the boat tour in advance and was also flexible with good recommendations during the tour. My family and I enjoyed all the information that he shared and him being mindful to change the start time of the tour to enable us to enjoy prosecco and strawberries on the boat at sunset. It was a wonderful experience, the highlight of our trip to Lake Como and I highly recommend!!”
