My husband and I took the private full day lake como boat and villa your. Our guide and skipper were wonderful. They were able to tailor the tour around our activity level. The weather was not the best, but it did not hamper the tour at all. Alessandra was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about every place we went. Our skipper was wonderful and had a great sense of humor. They both were great! Could not ha e asked for a better day. Laura and Barbara organized this and the Bernina Express to St Moritz tour (which was also great!) thank you to everyone involved in both of our tours! Our driver/guide for St. Moritz could not have been nicer!!
