We had a beautiful day on the lake with Giacomo and Andrea - the boat Alba is so comfortable and we learned lots of things about the lake and area as well of course as many famous villas . A lovely stop at Villa Balbianello ( casino royale ) and a stop in Bellagio ( very busy) but his recommendation for lunch was perfect at La dolce vita and then back to the peace of our private tour . Would recommend to anyone a day with Giacomo ( we did 5 hours)

Booking our trip a month in advance was very simple. We selected the 5 hour tour and it was incredible. The weather was perfect and Giacomo took excellent care of us. We visited all the sites:
Villa Erba
Villa D'Este
Villa Versace
Villa Oleandra ( George Clooney )
Waterfall of Urio
Island Comacina
Villa Cassinella (Richard Branson )
Villa Balbianello
Villa Carlotta
Bellagio for some shopping

We had lunch away from Bellagio at a a family run restaurant recommended by Giacomo on the water. Incredible food!

The overall experience was truly memorable and Giacomo was the very best guide! His knowledge of the area and pride in his country was evident.

We found Giacomo on the internet. No referral, just blind luck. Everything he promised was true. He called the morning of our scheduled trip to confirm. Then again thirty minutes before our agreed arrival time to lead us to a parking space right on the water! Service we did not expect but appreciated. His English is very good. The boat was beautiful and perfectly maintained. We spent three hours on the water with a stop in Bellagio. The tour was perfectly paced and comfortable. Giacomo had a great attitude. He highlighted various points of interest and answered our questions but did not chatter incessantly. Our boat trip on Lake Como was an excellent experience. Highly recommended.

From the time that we were picked up at our hotel to being dropped off after an amazing dinner at a restaurant recommended by Giacomo, It was the perfect 5 hour tour. Definitely stop for lunch or dinner if you do a five hour stint as there is something special about arriving by your own boat to have dinner and the trip home afterwards. We also were able to look at the Riva Museum ( thanks to a friend of Giacomo)where Earnest Rive made his first craft in the 1700's and the old power boats are still the most beautiful speed boats ever made.
One of those days that you cherish for ever and Giacomo is the undoubtedly the nicest captain/guide we have ever had and a stunning boat.
Don't waste your money anywhere else and some of them can be very expensive.
Grazie Giacomo

We had such a great time with Giacomo on our 5-hour tour! He stopped at all of the best locations on the lake and made the ride very enjoyable. For us, 5 hours was plenty of time. We saw plenty on the lake, were able to get off and have lunch in Bellagio, take about 30 minutes to walk around, and then tour back. It was absolutely a great day and we want to thank Giacomo for the opportunity! I would highly recommend using him!

We did a 7-hour tour with Giacomo today and enjoyed every bit of it. We had a group of 8, 4 adults, 3 teenagers and 1 6-year old. Giacomo made the tour fun for all of us. Not only did he tell us about different villas and events around the lake, he also gave us great suggestions for lunch and dinner restaurants. We would absolutely do another tour with Giacomo when we come back to Como.

We had a boat tour with Giacomo for 5 hours and we enjoyed every second of it! The tour was very interesting, and the views were incredible! For lunch Giacomo took us to the restaurant with an amazing view and delicious food! We highly recommend a boat tour with Giacomo!

My wife and I took the private, 5-hour tour with lunch. For just two of us, it was quite pricey (the most expensive private tour of our two week trip in Italy). Giacomo was lovely and picked us up right in front of our hotel in Lezzano, which was perfect. He showed us all of the villas and was knowledgeable of the area. We disembarked for the garden tour of Villa del Balbianello, which was fantastic. We had lunch at Hotel Miralago (no relation to Trump), which was very good. It is a great experience to see all of the villages from the water. I would highly recommend, but bring some water or something to drink. Giacomo doesn't supply water on the boat (which he should for a 5-hour tour and the money).

My family and I were in Italy for my sons wedding outside of Milan. We decided to go to Lake Como and take a boat ride. I contacted Giacomo and from day one he was always professional and answered my emails quickly. My one brothers flight got in late so we had to cut our boat ride an hour short and Giacomo was very understanding. His boat was very clean and maintained very well. Giacomo was very knowledgable about Lake Como and the area.He was extremely helpful with info and very friendly. It was an amazing day on the water - one I will not soon forget. We were not able to make it to Bellagio and stop for lunch - which I wish we could have done - I highly recommend Giacomo if you want a boat ride on Lake Como!
