The tour begins with the hum of an electric motor and the cool spray of lake air as you push off from Como’s compact centro. You’ll weave through narrow alleys past the marble façade of the Duomo and the medieval Porta Torre, then open up along the lungolago where private boats slice the water and mountains lean in close.
