Jacqui M

Our trip around Lake Como with Frank was amazing. We chose to customise our trip and Frank was very accomodating. We got picked up in Bellagio and then tour the Lake. Taking in all the sights on our way back to Como which included Varenna, Tremezzo, Villa Balbiano, Richard Branson’s Villa, George Cloney’s Villa, Nesso and more. He included a couple of last minute changes for the teenagers so they could swim. The boat was very equipped with everything you could need. Frank was very knowledgeable and his English was excellent. He was a great host and we would highly recommend Frank for a magical tour of Lake Como

TuomasP

Frank was an amazing host for this two hour tour. He knew all the places and interesting inside stories of lake Como, adapted the tour on the fly to our wishes, and it was great to get to know him a little bit as he is such a warm, fun and interesting guy to hang out with! We will definitely try to do his tours again!

mralkeshchavda

Lovely location but for the cost the guide (Frank) should have offered a lot more in the way of a guided tour with more detail. The most annoying issue was that Frank spent a large potion of the tour taking bookings on his phone whilst driving the boat.

meltemb968

Great tour ! It was very nice ! The weather was cool ! Boat on time. Merci Frank for all the comments and the pictures !

lauralT3173XG

A wonderful tour of Lake Como. Very informative and fun. We stopped by a bridge where people were jumping in and the younger kids jumped out of the boat and did the bridge jump too.

Lori_R

La Dolve Vita was such a memorable experience. Frank is so knowledgeable about the Villas and the Como history. He remembered my Son on his 21st birthday with champagne. Would highly recommend La Dolce Vita as an essential excursion

Inspire719281

Wonderful day on the lake!! We saw so many beautiful stops and were told the history behind them. Wish it was longer!!

Christopher_S

Frederico was wonderful! He pointed out interesting villas & the history behind them. Stopped by George Clooney’s villas as well as Versace’s villa & a few other famous ones. We all had a fabulous time. Highly recommend!

Mariusz_K

Be careful!! He does not like Americans…. I was planning my first time trip here with only being able to stay 1 day. I asked a couple of questions not knowing how transportation works and reading you can get stuck in the islands because the ferries don’t run so late anyway it started with Cristina giving me attitude because I asked questions regarding transportation I realized it wouldn’t work with my schedule so I asked if I could cancel literally the day I booked it!!! my trip being 1 month away and the owner Frank completely blew up on me told me he “couldn’t stand people like me” and he would keep my deposit because he had to message me regarding the booking. I’m not sure what I did wrong to deserve him talking to me the way he did; and I wouldn’t want to be in a tiny boat in another country with a person like that really scary. So be careful if I could give it zero stars I would! It’s not worth having the risk of ruining your trip!
