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.

“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…”

It was a wonderful experience, the highlight of our trip to Lake Como and I highly recommend!!”

“We booked the tour with giovanni as a gift for the bachelorette of two of our girlfriends. Unfortunately it was quite disappointing in many points. It started with him asking to postpone the tour from 2pm to another time several times. At least he accepted that we couldnt change the time but it was stressing us out during the holiday. We booked for 1300 Euros/4h and it said it included water, snacks/lunch and prosecco. The only thing he offered us was prosecco. No snacks and NOT EVEN WATER for a trip half a day! That was unbelievable. We asked him why he didnt offer us any water or snacks. He…”
