About this tour
Spend four hours aboard a private motor boat exploring Lake Como's shoreline, stopping to take in elegant lakeside villas, hidden grottos, and cascading waterfalls. Your cruise departs from Como and winds towards Bellagio, with an onboard picnic featuring regional Italian specialties—cured meats, cheeses, pastries, wine and water—served on proper ceramic plates. This is leisurely sightseeing done from the water, combining landscape views with honest food.

What to expect
You'll board an elegant motor boat and spend the morning or afternoon cruising the lake's western and central stretches. The captain navigates close enough to the shore that you spot architectural details on famous villas and can photograph hillside chapels and fortified settlements. The boat maintains steady speed rather than racing; there's time to absorb the Alpine backdrop and the particular light that bounces off the water here. Midway through, you'll anchor or slow to a drift while the picnic basket comes out—proper spreads on real plates, not plastic. Bring sunscreen and a light layer; the water reflects heat but the breeze cools quickly.
Good to know
Infants must sit on an adult's lap throughout. The boat accommodates all fitness levels—you're seated the whole time. Public transport connections exist nearby if you need alternative arrival. Gratuities aren't included in the price.
