Begin your adventure at the Sant’Agostino dock in Como, where you’ll board a comfortable and elegant speedboat designed for small groups of up to 11 guests. Once on board, enjoy a welcome glass of prosecco as your captain sets course toward the central part of the lake.
As you cruise along the shimmering waters, admire some of Lake Como’s most iconic landmarks. Pass the dramatic gorge of Orrido di Nesso, where waterfalls cascade into the lake, and continue past charming lakeside villages with colorful houses and historic architecture. Your captain will slow down near Villa Balbianello, one of the lake’s most photographed villas, famous for its gardens and movie appearances, and Villa Clooney, surrounded by lush greenery and elegant terraces.
The speedboat then approaches Bellagio, the “Pearl of Lake Como.” Here, you’ll enjoy about one hour of free time to explore the town at your own pace. Wander through narrow cobbled streets filled with boutiques and cafés, relax on the lakeside promenade, or visit the gardens of Villa Melzi for stunning views across the lake.
After your visit, reboard the speedboat for a relaxing cruise back to Como, taking in even more of the lake’s stunning scenery from a new perspective. Your skipper will share stories and local insights about the villas, villages, and history of the region throughout the experience.
Once back in Como, your ticket includes a skip-the-line entry to the Brunate funicular, located just a short walk from the dock. Ride up to Brunate, known as the “balcony of the Alps,” for breathtaking panoramic views of Como, the lake, and surrounding mountains. You’ll have time to explore independently — walk to the scenic viewpoint of Faro Voltiano, stop at a café for a drink, or simply take in the scenery before returning by funicular at your convenience.
