What to expect
You'll board a private boat and spend an hour cruising the first basin of Lake Como. Your skipper shares the history and gossip tied to the grand homes you'll pass—which actors owned what, which villas appeared on screen, which hotels defined luxury travel. The pace is relaxed; you're not rushing to a schedule. Bring a light layer; the water can feel cooler than you'd expect, even on warm days.
