Why go
About Lake Como Experiences
Lake Como Experiences began in 2020 as a shared wish to show travellers the real rhythm of life on the lake. It has grown into a travel company working only on Lake Como and the land around it, with culture, food and lifestyle at the heart of every programme.
The boat tours are private and tailor-made, with a captain who speaks English. You choose where to be collected, how long to stay out and whether to stop at a villa, a lakeside town or a restaurant, so the day follows your own pace and interests.
