Review of a private Lake Como speedboat cruise from Como, with villas, Nesso gorge, swimming stops, local guides, price, and booking tips.

“This was AMAZING!! We had so much fun on this boat cruise. Stefano was a great driver and very knowledgeable about the area and the history of Lake Como, and very funny and nice. They were great to work with! The day and time we originally chose was raining really hard and cloudy, but they were easy to get ahold of and work with to switch the time to when the rain stopped. Everything worked out perfectly and they were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 273 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Review of a private Lake Como speedboat tour with Pietro and Federica, famous villas, swimming stops, village visits, and practical booking advice.

“We did a 3-hour tour and it was the highlight of our time in Bellagio. Federico and Pietro were great hosts with outstanding knowledge of Lake Como. They immediately made us feel at home. The boat is so comfortable and the prosecco was ice cold. In addition to the beautiful sights, we had time for a swim on the lake and an hour in Argegno. We took Federica’s and had the most delicious bruschetta and gelato I’ve ever had. We recommend this tour 1000%!”

4.From 1H to 4H License Free Boat Rental 40cv Lake Como

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 243 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Rent a license-free boat on Lake Como from Como and cruise to villas, villages, swimming spots, and Bellagio at your own pace.

“Renting a boat on Lake Como through Viator was amazing. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the map made it easy to find highlights like Bellagio and swimming spots. Seeing the colorful houses along the mountainside was like being in a postcard. The only downside was the ladder—it was too small for my husband to get back on the boat easily. Otherwise, a fantastic way to experience Como!”
