Guests must arrange their own transportation to and from the meeting point at Como’s Piazza Cavour. We offer a Milan pick-up & drop-off service by Mercedes Van, available at an additional charge. Guests will be collected from one designated meeting point in central Milan. Full details and exact location will be confirmed at booking.
This tour is not suitable for guests staying in Bellagio or Lenno. Please consider other options that better match your location.
Please note: Due to the high operational costs, a minimum number of participants is required for the tour to operate. If the minimum is not reached, we will contact you in advance to offer an alternative tour or date. This situation is very rare and has occurred only a few times in recent years. In the unlikely event of a technical issue with the boat, an alternative tour or date will also be offered, or a full refund provided.
Absolutely not suitable for anyone with knee or back issues. The villages around Lake Como are built on steep terrain with uneven, sloped streets—good physical condition is essential. Please do not book if you're not prepared for this.
