You can't by a return ticket, thats why you have to wait aprox. 20 min before your ship will go. No fun in the heat of the july 2015 But we have had a nice trip through the city and arround the island on the beach. Be the first an the checkpoint to get a good place on the ship. There are three types op ships, a slow boat, takes an our to Peschira, a normal boat with 40 min and a speed boat with about 20 min It's cheep to use the ship, because the normal way is to place your car in the sun, pay for parking an go by foot many miles to the ancient city

Lake Garda is a beautiful location in Northern Italy. I had the pleasure of spending Easter weekend…read moreat Lake Garda. The weather was mild in April, nice enough not to need a jacket. We were able to stay in a hotel with a lake view. You will notice the beautiful mountains that surround the lake. There are winding cobblestone streets and wonderful eateries. There is also a really cool old Castle (Rocca Scaligera) that you must see while visiting Lake Garda.

Review #700 goes out to my favorite lake in the world.... Lago di Garda! :) :)…read more Ohhh, where do i start? I first visited Lago di Garda about a year and a half ago when my brother and i were retracing our Grandfather's WWII footsteps in Italy. We visited during February, which is definitely "off-season" for tourists - - but this gorgeous lake and community still offers plenty of breath-taking views and activities even then. Speaking of activities, this lake is heaven for outdoors enthusiasts (and really anyone else, I suppose). But there is so much to do here: *You can rent a bike and casually ride around the towns, or for those more adventurous you could ride around the entire lake *You can rent mountain bikes and go on the many trails, even starting on top of Mt Baldo *In the winter you can ski or snowboard the backside of Mt Baldo *Nearly year-round you can go paragliding (I went in June and it was AMAZING!!!) *Kite surfers *Wind surfing *Sailing *Obv, boating!! Less active, there are so many great restaurants and small cafes to visit in the many towns that are dripping with history! For me, the historical significance is due to my Grandfather serving here in the 10th Mountain Division during WWII. He stayed in the town of Malcesine for a few weeks.... and I know he was able to get some fishing-time in here too. But there's a castle in Malcesine overlooking the lake that's from over 500yrs ago!! Whoa... now that's old! Go for the beauty of the lake....go for the activities...go for the breath-taking views...you can do everything or nothing here, and still have an amazing time!! :)

Don't understand the negative reviews, because our experience was seamless and absolutely amazing…read more We got there about 15 mins early and we were immediately given a run down of the boat, a map with some highlights, and set loose on Lake Como for three hours. When we were done, we docked the boat and were on our way. I cannot recommend a better way to see the beauty of Lake Como. This was the best way to end our time here. Highly recommend!

We paid with cash so we got a small discount. Captain Luca was great. He had lots of knowledge and a few jokes to throw in.

After arriving in Bellagio for a short stay we were looking to get out on the water. Our high-end…read morehotel recommended these guys and we booked a 1-hour, private, "highlights of the lake tour" (230€). It was a 15 minute walk down to the waters edge (look for the blue and white striped poles) where we met the Australian wife of the operation and checked in. She was warm and friendly and gave us some good tips for other sight seeing during our stay. We boarded precisely at 4:30 and headed out right away. There wasn't much in the way of narration, in fact we had to keep asking questions just to get some information in between the pre-planned sights like the villa featured in the bond film Casino Royale and one of Richard Branson's houses. Most of the tour was spent at slow wake speed going along the shore. Not really any effort to try to help you get great pictures. In the end this didn't quite live up to expectations-just someone going through the motions and collecting a big fee. While it was great being out on the water, the high sides of the boat and slow speeds did little to cool us off on the very very hot day. Luckily we had brought along our own water! For 230€ per hour you'd think they'd serve prosecco and caviar. Cannot recommend

We customized the tour and for 8 people it came up to 350 Euros. The tour boat picked us up from Varenna, and proceeded to go by Bellagio, Menaggio, George Clooney's villa (haha...he was still with Elisabetta Canalis during that time), and then dropped us off in Como. The tour took 2 hours total and was worth every penny! Make all reservations through their website. Luca Valsecchi, our tour guide and captain, was very friendly, spoke excellent English and was knowledgeable about all the places that we buzzed by. I wish I could remember some of the stuff he talked about but I was enjoying just looking at the water, hills and villas that I was spacing out most of the time. Check out the pictures!

No need for advanced planning or reservations-more like how in the USA you might just decide to hop on a bus. We walked down to the lake just as a large ferry (this one also took cars) was arriving, paid around 9€ for a round trip ticket and hopped on. They let the people on first then cars. The direct ride over took about 15 minutes and we sat on an upper shady deck for the short trip. Times are a bit approximate-after all this is Italy! When you arrive, cars go off first. It's cooler if you stand down on the open deck in the shade if it is a hot day and enjoy the natural wind tunnel.
