Wine and boat tour
I want to begin by saying that Eduardo did an exceptional job so I do not want this review to reflect him with the job that he did. He was magnificent! However, the instructions at the meeting place were changed three times. When we got there, we were asked to pay an additional $40 per person for some gas charge that was not very transparent on our original reservation. So that was $80 in addition to the 410 it already cost me. It definitely was not a $500 experience. Viator definitely gauged us on this experience and I will not be booking with them after this trip. Very disappointed on the way that they hid this charge until we got there.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words about Edoardo, we’re really happy you enjoyed the tour! The updated meeting point, just a 10-minute walk away, was shared in advance due to recent pier changes made by local authorities. Despite this, the tour started on time. We’re sorry the $40 fuel fee caused disappointment, although it was stated in the booking details.

Great experience!
Highly recommend this tour. We were safely flying to Belagio and Varenna on a speed boat sailed by Eduardo. Each stop he helped us in and out of the boat, and picked us up precisely on time. It was well organized. Absolutely beautiful views, and safe!

Stay Away
So we showed up to the dock and to our surprise the boat that they advertise on this listing is not the boat that the excursion is actually on. They advertise a nice state of the art fiberglass boat. The actual boat is an old wood boat (see pic attached). When we brought it to their attention, they said sorry but now this is the boat and tried to tell us it was an upgrade. It was definitely no upgrade. So we continued on the excursion to Bellagio which was the first stop. They told us to meet back at the drop off point in one hour. We went for lunch in Bellagio, but the service was miserable and took the whole hour. We rushed back to the boat arriving a few minutes late and the boat had left us. I called the boat operator who claimed that should not have happened, and he would reach out to the boat to come pick us up after the second stop in Varenna which we ended up missing. Anyway, after over an hour the boat came and got us and took us back. Keep in mind this was a semi-private excursion with only 9 passengers. So, stay away from these guys, they are not advertising with integrity and Viator bares some accountability here since they are allowing this on their platform. What you see is not what you get. The fact that they left us was shocking after paying so much and the whole operation was rush, rush, rush. Definitely do not recommend, this operation.

Captain Edoardo!
We had a fun and very comfortable boat ride with Edoardo! He paused to share pieces of history and crusied to the destinations with our favorite songs. He had great recommendations for the village stops and made for a wonderful visit on the water.

Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $206 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 Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 6 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 Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour?
+
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 Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour?
+
Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour 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.
What is included in Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Government fees; anding and/or facility fees; boat; and Airport and departure taxes. Not included: Surcharges on fuel; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour?
+
Floating pier Villa Margherita Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Visit Varenna and Bellagio with Wine on Lake Como Boat Tour?
