Lake Como, located in Italy’s Lombardy region, is a magnet for travelers drawn to its crystalline waters and stately villas that frame one of Europe’s deepest glacial lakes. While in Como Srls offers a compelling way to engage with this iconic landscape through their 2-hour private boat tours aboard the sleek Karnic 651. Departing from Lungo Lario Trieste in Como city, these tours provide an intimate glimpse into Lake Como’s blend of natural splendor and historic grandeur.
The experience unfolds with passages by the innovative Electric Life installation and the striking Voltiano Lighthouse, a regionally significant monument commemorating the First World War.
