Situated in the northern Italian region of Lombardy, Lake Como is a glacial lake defined by steep, forested slopes and sparkling waters that have drawn travelers for centuries. At the heart of this stunning landscape lies the city of Como, a vibrant hub where cobblestone streets meet the lake’s edge. Como Lake Boat Tours S.A.S. offers a distinctive way to encounter this iconic setting with their intimate two-hour cruise departing from the Sant’Agostino pier. This personalized boat tour uncovers breathtaking views of the lake’s renowned villas—some dating back to the Renaissance—and charming lakeside villages framed by dramatic cliffs and verdant gardens.
Unlike larger, more crowded cruises, this experience caters to couples, families, and small groups, allowing for a customizable itinerary that tells the story of Lake Como’s unique geography and history on your terms. Guests can glide past exquisite estates such as Villa Olmo or Villa Carlotta, whose architecture and botanical gardens are as impressive from the water as they are from land. Along the way, you may spot traditional fishing boats, swans gliding silently on the surface, and the occasional Alpine chough overhead.
Lake Como’s setting between the Pre-Alps creates a serene yet dynamic aquatic environment, with clear freshwater edged by rocky outcrops and lush forests. The option for professional drone footage adds a modern, cinematic element to your experience, perfectly capturing the interplay of light and water in this captivating environment.
