     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most incredible six-hour private boat tour around Lake Como with Francesco, and it truly couldn’t have been more perfect!

Francesco was absolutely amazing — so accommodating, attentive, and genuinely went above and beyond to make our day special. The boat was absolutely beautiful and had everything we could possibly need to spend a relaxing and unforgettable day on the Lake.

The scenery, the beautiful boat, the personalized service, and Francesco himself made this one of the highlights of our trip to Lake Como. If you’re looking for a private boat experience, we cannot recommend Francesco highly enough!

Thank you, Francesco, for helping make our anniversary absolutely unforgettable!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an absolutely wonderful boat tour on Lake Como with Francesco! He is such a nice, positive and welcoming person who showed us the lake in all its beauty. The boat was clean, comfortable and beautiful. We swam in a safe and gorgeous spot that Francesco showed us, discovered beautiful places we would never have found on our own and stopped at a local restaurant with incredible food and an unbelievable view.
Water and a bottle of Prosecco were included on the boat, which made the experience even more special. Everything was simply beautiful and honestly, four hours was not enough! We would happily do this tour again and highly recommend Francesco!💙🥂🚤
