Why go
About Como On Boat
Como On Boat runs private tours of Lake Como on its own fleet of boats. Each outing starts from Como, Cernobbio or another pick-up point agreed with you, and the route is shaped around the time you have for the day, so every trip feels a little personal. Guests can ask for a tailored plan.
Four set itineraries last from one to four hours and take in villas such as Villa d'Este and Villa Balbianello, villages like Laglio and Bellagio, and the waterfall at Nesso. The team can also arrange a Franciacorta tasting on board, a private wine tasting or a golf day on request.
