Really love the villas of Lake Como. Our guide Pietro was really fun and helpful, he presented all villas in his own way, not even a minute we were bored. The boat was also beautiful, we had the chance to have the Venetian style and the captain was also nice. A must to do tour when you visit Lake Como

We booked this tour during our 2 weeks stay in Italy. We visited the main cities such as Rome, Florence and Milan. When we stayed in Milan we decided to visit also the other destination nearby, we chose the famous Lake Como. Our concierge recommended us this tour because we wanted to visit the beautiful villas of the place. We were really satisfied with the experience. The company's travel agent Rea, has assisted us patiently with the booking process and hotel transfers. The tour went well, and it even exeeds our expectation. We were also lucky because it was sunny, the lake was very calm.

Lake Como deserves the hype! The views are very magical, truly embraced by nature. We really enjoyed this tour. Gigliola was very kind and knowlegdable. We met her at Bellagio and board the private boat to visit the villas. We were amazed by the beauty of Villa Balbianello's park and Villa Carlotta, they were both well maintained. Then by 1 pm the boat drop us at the gardens of Villa Melzi, our last destination. The garden was very beautiful. After the tour we were picked up by the shuttle for our lunch. The restaurant was located on top of Bellagio, there was a great view of Lake Como. Best activity we did during our stay!

If you gonna visit Lake Como, it's a must to visit the villas. With this tour we had the chance to see the three most famous villas of Lake Como: Balbianello, Carlotta and Melzi. We were accompanied by a private boat and a guide- very kind and professional! We only visited the park of Villa Balbianello and admire the beauty of the villa outside as we were informed that its tickets are easily sold out. Our favourite is the japanese style garden of Villa Melzi! It was so magical.

The boat tour was perfect for the weather. Although It was very hot when we did the tour we still enjoyed it thanks to our guide Davide. The restaurant was also very lovely, especially the view. I think it is best to visit Lake Como on Spring season to avoid the heat wave.

We booked the Tour of the Most Beautiful Villas of Lake Como through Viator hosted by Lake Como Tours. Our tour included a private boat taxi between the Villas on Lake Como, & an entrance to each Villa. A private English-speaking tour guide was included to give information about each Villa. The tour guide spoke poor English, and we could not understand her communication. We even missed part of the tour of the Villa Carlotta due to a lack of understanding. Frustrated, we contacted Lake Como Tours to cancel the last half of the tour. Very disappointing for the cost.

Came back again to Lake Como for our summer vacation. This time we chose to visit the famous villas of Lake Como. It was a bit tiring but absolutely worth it. The captain was very friendly and funny. The guide was very eloquent. Recommendable tour but make sure you have a lot of energy!

Breathtaking places! Really loved the tuor, we were lucky because it was not crowded when we visited Lake Como. April is the best month!

Truly fabulous experience. We were on our honeymoon, so we wanted a private tour of a few villas around the lake, along with some time on the actual lake by boat. This tour checked every box for us. We enjoyed lunch at the il Perlo hotel beforehand, with delicious food and a panoramic view of the lake. From there, we met our guide and captain and were taken for the villas tour by boat. We toured the three villas with an extremely knowledgeable guide, and our experience wouldn’t have been the same without her. Although on the pricier side, this tour was worth every penny. We felt like we were in a movie: aboard a boat on Lake Como, bouncing from Villa to Villa. First class service, 10/10, would do this again in a heartbeat, no hesitation.
