It has a toilet and wifi on board, water is included, the price is for the whole boat, and pickup from other points is not included. 4.81 from 186 reviews at €300 per group/vehicle for 1h. ## Overview Lake Como is the most beautiful lake in the world and, recently, it was included in the 55 most beautiful places in the world list by the famous travel network: travel + leisure. On a private boat tour on Como lake, you can discover the secret spots that you would not be able to see from the land; Chartering our boat you will be able to see historic villas, beautiful gardens, fishermen villages and beautiful landscapes. Other pick-up points, different from the pre-established one in Como, may be arranged, but only if compatible with the length of the selected tour. For instance, it is impossible to arrange a pick-up in Varenna or Bellagio if opting for a one-hour tour. Conversely, it is possible to arrange a pick-up in Cernobbio or Blevio even when choosing a one-hour tour, as these are villages very close to Como, which, as a reminder, serves as the base for our vessels. ## Key facts - Price: from €300 per group/vehicle for the 1 H dreaming Tour Lake Como option; other options up to €1400 - Duration: 1h - Rating: 4.81/5 from 186 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 96% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: La Dolce Vita Como Lake boat Tour ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | 1 H dreaming Tour Lake Como | €300 per group | French, Italian, English | - | | 1H Invictus Boat tour | €400 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 1 hour boat | | 2H Eolo Boat Tour Lake Como | €600 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 2 hours Eolo boat | | 2H Invictus Boat Tour 5 pax | €650 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 2 hours boat max 5 pax | | 2H Invictus boat tour 9 pax | €750 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 2 hours boat max 9 pax | | 3H Eolo Boat Tour Lake Como | €900 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 3 hours Eolo boat | | 3H Invictus Boat Tour 5 pax | €930 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 3 hours boat max 5 pax | | 3H Invictus Boat Tour 9 pax | €1050 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 3 hours boat max 9 pax | | 4H Eolo Boat Tour Lake Como | €1150 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 4 hours Eolo boat | | 4H Invictus Boat Tour 5 pax | €1200 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 4 hours boat max 5 pax | | 4H Invictus Boat Tour 9 pax | €1250 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 4 hours boat max 9 pax | | 5H Invictus Boat Tour 5 pax | €1320 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 5 hours boat max 5 pax | | 5H Invictus Boat Tour 9 pax | €1400 per group | French, Italian, English | Duration: 5 hours boat max 9 pax | ## What's included - Bottled water - WiFi on board - Restroom on board ## Not included - Different pick up points ## Itinerary 1. **Lake Como** (pass by, no stop) - A brief view of lake Como, you will be able to see villages set in the blue of the lake and prestigious old villas.
