Lake Como, located in the Lombardy region of Italy, is an outdoor lover's dream with its pristine waters and sweeping alpine backdrops. The "Riva Super Florida - Romance Tour" offers a unique way to experience this iconic destination: a two-hour private boat excursion aboard a classic Riva Super Florida. This isn’t just a ride; it’s a carefully curated journey through some of the most beautiful and iconic spots around the lake, blending elegant luxury with intimate discovery.
This exclusive tour allows for a maximum of two passengers, making it perfect for couples or intimate groups who want a personalized experience. You can choose between two distinct itineraries — the North Tour and the South Tour — each highlighting different gems of the lake. The North Tour explores charming towns like Bellagio, Varenna, and Tremezzo while cruising past the historic Comacina Island and distinguished villas including Villa Carlotta and Villa Balbianello. On the flip side, the South Tour showcases luxurious lakeside estates such as Villa Erba, Villa D’Este, and Villa Oleandra, famously owned by George Clooney, while offering gorgeous views of natural wonders like the Roman bridge of Nesso and a cascading waterfall.
A licensed, English-speaking captain helms your private vessel, ensuring smooth navigation and insightful commentary about the area's rich history, architectural marvels, and local lore. Enjoy Prosecco and water onboard, adding a touch of sophistication to your leisurely cruise. Whether you embark from Como, Bellagio, or one of the smaller lakeside towns, your journey through Lake Como's serene waters promises breathtaking panoramas of the majestic Alps and fascinating insights into this timeless region.

Visitors considering this tour should prepare for calm waters and mild weather, ideal for spring through early fall sailing.
