About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 207candacer0 contributionsLovely boat day in ComoThis was one of our favorite experiences in Italy! Our captain Davide was excellent! He showed us all the main sites on the lake, was very knowledgeable and accommodated our requests to stop at different locations. Highly recommend!Written 21 September 2024
- B3070OLmarinao0 contributionsAmazing Lake Como Boat Tour!We had a wonderful experience with Davide during our 4 hour boat tour. We got picked up at our hotel and Davide showed us all of the most popular and beautiful spots around Lake Como (including various villas, Nesso, Varenna, Como, etc). He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well. We also had the chance to swim in the lake which was lovely! Would definitely recommend this tour!!Written 26 August 2024

- fond6570 contributionsThe best part of Lake Como!This review is for one of the best experiences I and my family had in Italy. We booked a 6 hour tour two years ago, had to cancel due to illness, and set it back up a year later. The whole time the company worked with via email without issue. The day finally showed up and Valentino was our captain for the day. He asked us what our plans or needs were but we were just excited to be doing the day trip and wanted him to use his best judgement but we wanted to see as much of the lake as we could. We had two stops, one to look around Bellagio and another at this small town family restaurant on the water. I would say if you go to Lake Como and you don't get a private boat rental your nuts. I would say if you want the best bang for the money and get the most out of what a boat rental can be you have to go with II Medeghino.Written 24 July 2024
- miskovea0 contributionsBreathtaking boat excursion!! Must do!The highlight of our time in Como was a five hour boat excursion. Andrea our captain was so knowledgeable and shared with us every detail about the villas and villages we were seeing from the water. The views from the water are stunning and it’s breathtaking to take it all in in this manner. We were able to make stops in Bellagio and a couple other villages and grab an ice cream, use the restroom etc and then get back on and enjoy the scenery. Staying in Como town was so convenient too as we were picked up at the dock just two minutes walking from our place. This is an experience we will remember and talk about with friends and family for many years to come.m! It’s a must do if you’re going to Como!!Written 5 July 2024
- F2553VBnicholash0 contributionsIncredibleAn incredible time! Our guide was Andrea and he was friendly, informative and a great guide around lake como. Absolutely loved our time getting to know the villas and landmarks of the lake. Photos were incredible and he let us get off in Bellagio for lunch before continuing our tour. Grazie Mille!Written 14 May 2024

- Michael J0 contributionsA special experience and great dayI booked a 2 hour tour on Lake Como for my family (my wife and I and two daughters 8 and 5 years old). All of the transaction was easy to sort and we were given clear instructions on where to meet. Our captain and tour guide for the day (Davide) was really welcoming and made us feel really comfortable to relax and enjoy the boat. He explained lots about the lake and sights along the way and bought fun to our tour (even helping me practice speaking Italian). A private boat tour on a sunny calm day on Lake Como with the girls singing songs from the greatest showman will be a memory I will keep forever. I’d highly recommend this to anyone considering it.Written 8 April 2024
- Experience4287070 contributionsBest Lake Como boat experienceFantastic experience with Davide, our boat driver. The boat was large and clean. We had 10 people and it easily fit all of us. We enjoyed glasses of Prosecco while our driver took pictures & videos of us. We enjoyed a 4 hour tour with a stop in Bellagio. Davide would stop the boat and give us a history lesson on each of the villas. Communication with the boat company was really good. Text messages were answered within a few hours at the most; minutes while we were in Como. Would HIGHLY recommend. Can’t wait to come back.Written 24 March 2024
- Ramez G0 contributionsGreat way to see Lake Como in a short timeMy wife and I had an amazing time on the boat Tour. Our captain, Marco, was wonderful. He was on time, knowledgeable and also took our pictures. We highly recommend this if you have a short stay in Como it is a great luxurious way to see a lot in a short span of time.Written 19 March 2024
- Jamie E0 contributionsIncredible dayWhat a spectacular day!! Marco was phenomenal and made our day so special. We made a friend for life. He was so knowledgeable as well as being so warm and welcoming..Best day of our 2 week trip! A must do while in Como.Written 28 December 2023

For 4 hours, our driver Valentino in impeccable French regaled us with his comments throughout the tour stopping on strategic points so that we can fully enjoy the perspective of the lake. He was very considerate and attentive and shared his advice with us. We highly recommend it. It was an unforgettable day!!

Perfect way to see the highlights of the lake, especially if limited by time. We were a multigenerational group ranging from 25-80- everyone had a great time! We did both the evening tour and the 8 hour day tour the following day, allowing us to experience the lake in different lights and to eat at two great restaurants! We finished the day tour with a late afternoon dip in the lake- so refreshing! Davide was our wonderful, knowledgeable, accommodating guide. Great communication with the company to arrive at our choices of activities. The boat was beautiful, and Lago di Como was all that we had been told- a 5 star experience across the board.

This trip was the single best experience that my husband and I had in Italy! The Lake was so serene and tranquil and Marcos was an incredible host/ driver. He took us to see many of the gorgeous and ornate villas and even stopped at a waterfall upon my request although it extended the trip beyond what was originally scheduled. We are so grateful to Marcos for the most lovely and beautiful experience and highly recommend this to anyone coming to Lago di Como!

To be honest we were blessed with an actual gorgeous day, but we've been done with our tour for 4 hours and no one has stopped talking about it since. Elia was our pilot, a very courteous young man who did a great job fielding the questions that were being fired at him by the 6 of us. He made sure we made the most of our day. Good days are a result of hard work behind the scenes by both the travelers and the management team of the entity with which you were touring. The management staff was friendly and responded nearly instantly to all my planning request. If you're thinking of a private tour of Lake Como then just do it. And these guys will ensure you make the most of your day.

The two hour private Lake Como tour from Il Medeghino was the one of the highlights of our Italy trip! The company was especially great with customer service as our original tour had to be re-scheduled due to bad weather and they were very considerate about it. And plus, they upgraded us to the even better taxi boat! Claudio was a very cool tour guide. Nothing much was said during the tour and rightfully so as Lake Como’s breathtaking views just needs to be taken in by observation. With that said, Claudio stopped by at the interesting areas of the lake. Unfortunately, it was too cold for a swim and the sun was barely out. Overall, Il Medeghino took care of us well and they are highly recommended! Truly and experience of a lifetime.

Our family had such a wonderful relaxing time on the Cranchi 26 dinner cruise. This company was wonderful to work with. Responsive, timely, and knowledgeable. We had Marco as our Captain and he was not only a great driver, but extremely hospitable from taking us wherever we wished to go, parking at Nesso for a swim and a jump off the bridge to sharing all the local knowledge of the lake and sights. If you can make time when you go to Como, this boat tour is a winner. We had dinner on the lake then back to our hotel in style. Was truly an amazing experience and this company is trustworthy and reliable...and most importantly, was so much fun to do!

Claudio, skipper and boats’ owner, is a natural born Italian sailor. He is a true gentlemen who makes his guests feel like they are at their homes. We spent our day talking about Como Lake, its history, and surroundings. He managed to introduce lake Como beauties in Italian, English and Chinese. The end of the day was a marvelous surprise, when under the stars, Claudio played, on his boat, Pavarotti’s masterpiece, Nessun Dorma. Highly recommended.

Will always remember this, amazing tour, reserved this with very short notice, captain Mattia was very sweet and kind, he gave us great deal of guidance and information about lake Como and showed us the sightseeings. The boat was also very comfortable and neat. The captain created the most flexible trip according to our wishes. We stopped twice for a swim, sunbathed and had the opportunity to fly our drone and take pictures with the help of the captain, who drove the boat just as we wished to get the best camera and drone shots. The lake was also breathtaking, you definitely get the most out of the island by boat if you have not much time. Could not be more satisfied. Thank you so much!!

Hi,
I'm looking to do an engagement shoot on the boat? Would this be ok, if I book out the whole boat for this?

Is the price based per hour? How many hours would you need to see the main sights?
