★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 6,271 reviews · 11 hours · from $78Our pick

Review of a $78 day trip from Milan to Como, Bellagio, Lake Como, and Lugano, with a private boat, guide, transport, and border tips.

“Monica & Manuela were AMAZING! So professional, kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The trip itself was well organised, very prompt, and pleasant, where you get to see quite a bit in the limited time. Very good tips were given in terms of where to eat, what to eat, shops to buy from. We were taken to great panoramic viewpoints by Monica, then left to wander freely in our own time.”

Then we got back on the boat and had the best time going around Capri, enjoy music, snacks, and drinks with our captain and guide. We had time to stop and swim in the ocean which was awesome. It was a terrific time and would do it again in a heartbeat.”

The day was exceptionally hot, to finish off before our return we were able to jump off the boat and have an amazing swim in the beautiful warm water of the Mediterranean sea followed with a glass off Prosseco. The guides took photos of us all swimming which were are still waiting to receive.”

Review of the Sorrento to Capri boat trip, with grotto views, swimming stops, four hours on Capri, drinks, tips, and practical advice.

“We had an amazing time, our captain Mario was so much fun, he was very knowledgable and informative whilst always being professional. The fruit cups were great as a snack/breakfast and the beers and Prosecco were awesome. Mario had some great tips for when we got on the island of Capri and we loved Capri. We missed out on the Blue Grotto but went to some incredible swimming spots in place of this. We had a great group which made the experience even better and the boat was in nice condition and a good size. We would highly recommend this to anyone, money well spent!Read more”
