Her family has grown here and she is an amazing driver. Lots of lore and history, you can feel the pride and excitement she wanted to share with us for her beloved Lake Como. 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. Ricky was knowledgeable and shared interesting information on the villas and sites we were seeing on the Lake. 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! Ricky’s tour made our time in Como special. Plus, we enjoyed the restaurant he…”

“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 :)”
