Great way to see the lake in a small private boat
A great way to have a private boat experience without spending a fortune. Ricky was very professional and had wonderful knowledge of the lake

Best Boat Ride Around Como
Ricky was an amazing guide. He came right to our hotel to pick us up and dropped us back off there. Showed us the history of the lake along with the Villas surrounding it. Would deff come back to him. Amazing guy!

Riki was incredible, very...
Riki was incredible, very friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. Boat was very clean and in prestige condition.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! I hope to see you soon! Riccardo.

A memorable day
Perfect day with Riccardo, charming and funny. He drove us to a beautiful spot near a little island where we had a swim, showing us all the villas and telling funny stories about the lake. Going with Ricky on his boat was a unique experience. He’s so knowledgeable about the Lake, which made our time that much more enjoyable. He is a very good and safe driver and we highly recommend spending time with him on his elegant boat. A memorable day.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! I hope to see you soon! Riccardo.

Nice day on the water. Not sure it’s worth the price.
Overall we had a nice time on the water. I was worried initially as the boat stalled immediately after pickup and we sat in the heat for 20 minutes stationary while Ricardo tried to get the boat moving again. I wasn’t sure the tour was going to happen but eventually he was able to get it going. He was knowledgeable about the area and showed us a lot of famous villas around Como. Given the cost of the tour there was more that could have been done to make it more of a luxury experience. He wasn’t ready with Prosecco on board so I had to go into the local bar to pick it up for him and bring it on board. Also he was on his phone quite a bit which shouldn’t happen on a tour like this. Other than that, we enjoyed ourselves.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Boat Tour on Lake Como with Iconic and Luxury Boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does Boat Tour on Lake Como with Iconic and Luxury Boat cost?
+
Prices start at $286 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 Boat Tour on Lake Como with Iconic and Luxury Boat take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Boat Tour on Lake Como with Iconic and Luxury Boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 73 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 Boat Tour on Lake Como with Iconic and Luxury Boat?
+
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 Boat Tour on Lake Como with Iconic and Luxury Boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Boat Tour on Lake Como with Iconic and Luxury Boat?
+
Around 26 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Boat Tour on Lake Como with Iconic and Luxury Boat 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 Ghisallo Pilgrimage - Road and E-bike Tour, Lake Como Private Wooden Boat Tour & Italian Glamour, Small-Group Pasta and Tiramisu Class in Como with Aperitivo. 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.
