This was an incredible tour! We were on our honeymoon and wanted an easy way to see a few of the popular villas along the lake, while also having reliable transportation, some privacy (since we were honeymooning), some time on the lake, and a knowledgeable guide. With Lake Como tourism, we got all that!! Before our tour, we had lunch at the beautiful Il Perlo hotel, with a stunning panoramic view of Lake Como. The food was delicious, and the staff of the hotel were incredibly friendly and attentive! We were then transported back to the lake to meet our tour guide and our beautiful private boat. Our fantastic captain dropped us off and picked us up in a timely fashion from each villa; we toured Villa Balbianello, Villa Carlotta, and Villa Melzi. We even got caught in a storm on the lake and felt completely safe. Our tour guide, Patrizia, was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! Our experience at the villas would have been nothing without her input of historical knowledge about each one. Although this tour was expensive, I can’t recommend it highly enough. We were picked up for lunch and from that time on, the whole day ran on schedule without us needing to worry about a thing. Truly first class service, 10/10, we would do this again in a heartbeat.
