Lake Como aperitivo cruise
One hour among the villas with prosecco on board — pure magic at sunset
The lake’s most beloved ritual
A speedboat, a few guests, a glass of prosecco and the villas of the first basin gliding slowly by: the aperitivo cruise is the easiest way to fall in love with Lake Como. Departures run through the day, but the late-afternoon cruises catch the best light — when the sun dips behind the mountains and the lake turns to gold.

★★★★★Interessante tour. Gids was humoristisch. Veel villa’s heeft een interessante verhaal. De wind die op je afkomt tijdens de boottour voelt ook lekker in het warme weer.
