Boat Trip around Lake Como & the Villas with Apéritif"The boat tour with Luca was truly wonderful! We initially hesitated about spending so much money for five people. Looking back, however, we can say that the €55 per person for a one-hour boat tour in the evening sun, including Prosecco, was absolutely worth it for this special experience. Booking was straightforward, and Luca was a very friendly and relaxed guide. We highly recommend the tour!"Vera · July 2026From 50€Private Boat Trip around Lake Como & the Villas with ApéritifAbout the ActivityHighlights• Private boat trip on Lake Como with apéritif included • Villa Geno, known for its elegant fountain • Villa Versace, former residence of Gianni VersaceItinerary• Departure from Sant’Agostino dock in Como• Villa Geno• Villa Troubetzkoy• Mosaic Park in Blevio• Villa Giuditta• Villa Versace• Villa Pizzo• Villa d’Este in Cernobbio• Villa Erba• Arrival in ComoWhat to ExpectDiscover the unique charm of Lake Como with a private boat trip, designed for you and your loved ones, with apéritif included.
