1.1H Luxury Cruise Como Lake Tender Yacht Invictus 9 Pax

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 100 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $108Our pick

Cruise Lake Como from Como toward Cernobbio, Moltrasio, Laglio, Torno, and Blevio aboard a luxury Invictus yacht for up to nine people. Guides including Luca and Giorgio point out famous villas, with music and Prosecco sometimes included. The boat returns to Como after about one hour.

“This was a scam. On the day of the event, a couple of hours before, we received a Whatsapp message saying that their original boat was broken, hence we should pay 80€ more for a private tour on another boat. I said that they could honor the price even if it was another boat, but they refused. When I mentioned that the situation was frustrating, they said that it was also frustrating for them having to pay for their boat repairs. Obviously, we had no time to make alternate arrangements and ended up with no tour at all. Not sure why Viator works with this company. Stay away.”

“Our family had a fantastic day on the water cared for by the great duo of Raffaele and Guglielmo. They promptly communicated with us at the marina to arrange pickup. Their boat was in great shape and full of drinks and snacks. In fact my son is still referring to some of the muffins Raffaele set out as the ‘best’ in Italy. Our trip to Capri included all the stops and Guglielmo skillfully steered us into the coves and landmarks for the best photo opportunities. They even helped make lunch reservations for us and we enjoyed a swim before heading to shore for a few hours. My daughter enjoyed playing…”

“Our party of three thoroughly enjoyed our six hour private tour. We started with a glass blowing tour on Murano which was exceptional. Our tour there culminated with each of us trying our hand at glass blowing. Next we ventured to Burano and enjoyed a typical Venetian lunch at a local restaurant. We saw lace being made and had time to shop. Our final stop was Trocello - what a special place. This island is quaint and has fewer tourists. We visited a church and enjoyed a leisurely stroll. This tour exceeded any expectation we had. Our guide Nadia was extremely knowledgeable, clearly knew the best spots to go and…”
