She’s an amazing boat driver as well. My sister and I were here for vacation. Great time! Would 100% recommend!”

“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.

He kept the tour moving but also would stop and linger a bit (offering us Prosecco, beer and other beverages) when he had something more to tell us - or when some or group chose to dip into the lake to test the waters!

“Boat tour was very nice - snacks, water and Prosecco. Driver was accommodating to pick and drop off in different part of lake for extra fee. Would have liked a little more information about the areas we were seeing - seemed to only be boat driving tour, not informative about what we were actually seeing. Driver stopped in 2 spots for us and our kids to swim. Overall was an excellent day on the water and very nice driver. Would recommend if just want to get out on a boat and see the other parts of the lake :)”
