Lake Como sunset boat tour

One golden hour on the water, as the lake lights up

The lake's most beautiful hour

At sunset Lake Como changes character: villa facades glow orange, ferry traffic fades and the water turns into a mirror. Our shared one-hour tour departs from Como city centre and cruises the first basin during the golden hour, with the skipper picking the best photo spots. Prosecco is on board; the light does the rest.
