3 Drinking Tours Worth Flying For

1.Private Boat Tour with Open Bar Lake Como 7 Pax

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 82 reviews · 1 to 4 hours (approx.) Our pick

Cruise Lake Como privately with Ricky, or Riccardo and Larry, for one to four hours. See Como, Cernobbio, Villa d’Este, George Clooney’s Villa Oleandra, Isola Comacina, Nesso Gorge, and more, with drinks served aboard and room for up to seven people.

“The 2-hour private and guided cruise on Lake Como by motorboat with our captain/guide, Ricky, was just what we were looking for given our visit to Lake Como was only a day-trip from Milan.

2.Rio de Janeiro: Shared Speedboat Tour with Beer Included!

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 68 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $60

Meet at Urcabar in Urca at 10:00 am for a shared speedboat trip toward the Cagarras Islands. Expect Rio views from the water, time to swim, inflatable floats, and cold beer, water, and soda. Captains such as Antonio and Ricardo have led outings, though commentary and route details can vary.

“The boat trip was relaxing, informative, and quite pleasant. Our skipper, Ricardo, was great. He had the right balance of telling us what we were looking at, and staying quiet so we could enjoy the ride. I saw no info that indicated we could swim from the boat if we wore a suit, so we were unprepared. (Not a big problem as we're not big swimmers; just a point for other travelers.) I was amused that the beer we were offered was Budweiser. As an American, it made me laugh because I expected a local brew. We enjoyed the ride, and the unique perspective of Rio from the water.”
