    Great boat tour on Lake Como

    Franky was AWESOME!!!!! Very familiar with the Lake and the history behind all the Villa's and historical items. Very easy to talk too. We actually did a 3 hour tour and could've done another 3 hours as it was so much fun. He found a spot for us to swim for a little while. Picked us up in Bellagio and dropped us off at Vareena. Highly recommend them for a tour. We even tried to tip him and he wouldn't take it. GREAT GUY AND GREAT TOUR GUIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    MUST DO!!

    This is a must. My wife and I had Joey as our guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, showed us spots no one goes to. Great vibes with music plenty anf alcohol and most importantly a guide that caters exactly to your needs. We came on our honeymoon but would also be great for families and a few couples.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much!

    Highly recommend for a boat day

    Franky’s Boat Tours were fantastic from start to finish. Lots of fun had on board, nothing was ever too much to ask. Highly recommend to book if you’re looking for a fun and relaxed day out on the lake.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Sophie!

    10 Stars for Mateo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    10 Stars! Mateo was AMAZING!! This is a must do - worth every penny to do a private boat experience! They customize for your preferences, had flowing Prosecco, great music and a fantastic guide! Boat was immaculate and the communication prior and during was top notch!! Our original flight was cancelled causing us to miss this, however, Joey and Mateo stepped up and ensured we still went the next day. Mateo even showed us the village he grew up in and also dropped us off by boat at the most amazing dinner spot on the lake at LaPunta at the conclusion of our boat tour. If you want the BEST people and company then book your tour with Franky’s on the Lake!

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much, Christy!

    2 Hour Private Boat Tour of Lake Como: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.

    How much does 2 Hour Private Boat Tour of Lake Como cost?

    +

    Prices start at $827 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Hour Private Boat Tour of Lake Como take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.

    Is 2 Hour Private Boat Tour of Lake Como worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Hour Private Boat Tour of Lake Como?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Hour Private Boat Tour of Lake Como suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Hour Private Boat Tour of Lake Como?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Hour Private Boat Tour of Lake Como start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lake Como?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise, Small-Group Lake Como: Bellagio, Varenna, Hidden Gorge & Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lake Como?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lake Como?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
