Boat Trip around Lake Como from Como to the Civera BridgeOf all the attractions in Lake Como, the Civera Bridge, famous for its Romanesque origins and perfect arch shape, is a must-see. Let our captains guide you on a voyage of discovery through Orrido di Nesso and the other incredible sights of the lake with our boat trip around Lake Como. Starting from Como, the first attraction we will see is the Life Electric, a sculpture dedicated to the Como scientist Alessandro Volta, known for inventing the world's first electric generator! Afterwards, we will sail along the coast to admire the many historical villas that line the lake. Among the most celebrated ones, you will see Villa Erba and Villa d'Este, even though the ones that intrigue our guests the most are Villa Fontanelle, which was once the residence of Gianni Versace, and Villa Oleandra, owned by George Clooney. Arriving at Laglio, we will cross to the other shore and head towards the Civera Bridge. This picturesque bridge will be the perfect background as we dive into the cool and refreshing waters of the lake! Once there, we will also explore the rocky canyon of the Orrido di Nesso and admire the impressive waterfall created by the junction of the Tuf and Nosé torrents. After restarting the engines, we will reverse course and continue our tour, heading back towards the starting pier in Como, but not before seeing some other charming villas, including Villa Pliniana and Villa Mirabella.Highlights - Guided boat tour with views of historic villas on Lake Como, including Villa Fontanelle (former Versace) and Villa Oleandra (George Clooney's) - Swimming stop near the Civera Bridge and Nesso Waterfalls - Apéritif with wine or proseccoItinerary - Como dock - Cernobbio - Laglio - Orrido di Nesso (swimming stop) - Torno - BlevioHow to get there We meet at the small dock in Como, at the exact time of departure.

Maria
"We bought our tickets online, and when we arrived, they quickly helped us with the physical ticket that would be valid for all transfers. Although it says the activity starts at 9 a.m., you can take the boat from Stressa at any time in the morning (it departs every half hour). It's important to know that getting off at Isla Madre only makes sense if you buy a ticket to the palace, as there are no other attractions to visit. I contacted the company via checkyeti chat, and they responded to clarify my questions."
