About this tour
Mia and Gianni navigate you around Lake Como's most photogenic stretches over four hours, stopping at Bellagio to wander its steep lanes, then Varenna's waterfront charm, before anchoring near Isola Comacina for a swim or aperitif. The route traces the western shore back towards Como, revealing villa gardens and rocky inlets inaccessible from land. Prosecco, nibbles and soft drinks come aboard; towels are supplied.

What to expect
You'll spend the morning or afternoon exploring Como's eastern and central landmarks from the water, with breaks to step ashore. Bellagio deserves 45 minutes to explore on foot—expect steep alleyways, little cafés and craft shops. At Isola Comacina, the water stays calm enough for a dip if you fancy it. Between stops, you're cruising past grand villas, their manicured grounds spilling to the shoreline, and steep forested banks that drop straight into the lake. The pace is unhurried; Mia and Gianni tailor timing to what interests you most.
Good to know
