Fun Experience

Anita_H, July 2023

Lots of fun and great to see the lake from a different view. Tip you may get a wet bottom from waves.

Family fun

Kenneth_B, July 2023

We had a great experience kayaking on a calm lake as a family. Very organized, easy walk to the port from bellagio if you take the Scalotta per Pescallo

Beautiful experience!!

Natalie_J, June 2023

We had so much fun doing this! We were able to paddle at our own pace and felt safe the entire time. Beautiful scenery and learned a lot about the area!! Also a great alternative to a boat tour if you get seasick easily, I felt pretty much okay the whole time! :)

Wonderful Experience!!

Kevin_G, June 2023

What a great experience! Our guide was wonderful and helped with everything. A relaxing and unique way to experience the beauty of Bellagio!

Walking not kayaking- nice surprise

Dawn_C, May 2023

We were not able to kayak due to weather but our guide suggested a walking tour which proved to be a great way to see some of the villages that make up Bellagio. Also enjoyed the ferry rides.

Must do activity!

Olivia_C, Mar 2023

Best experience ever. Beautiful view of the lake in the morning and tour guide was so lovely, friendly and informative. Gave us a bottle of water and a dry bag for our things. Then surprised us with Prosecco later on. He even gave us a goodie bag at the end. The views from the kayaks were just phenomenal and unforgettable. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Bellagio or the como area. Must do activity!

Amazing!

Diana_P, Oct 2022

My husband and I went on this kayak tour during our honeymoon and had the most incredible time!! The instructor gave each person the time they needed to kayak to each destination point as well as rest to enjoy the amazing views. It was an absolute highlight of our trip and we highly recommend this tour for everyone!

Amazing way to start the day

Luca_C, Oct 2022

What an excellent short trip onto the waters of Lake Como. I loved kayaking around as it gave me the independence to go closer to caves and rock formations that were interesting as well as orient myself in the best way to see the amazing views of the lake. It is possible to take the 9am tour coming from Milan, but it was a very early morning, well worth it though!!

Unique adventurous way to experience Bellagio and Lake Como

DaveandKatie_K, Oct 2022

We had the most fantastic time!! The owner and guide was very professional, wonderful at leafing us around Bellagio peninsula and sharing history and many facts of the area. The views were breathtaking and such a special way to see the area! We even had a special surprise at the end. You will love this unique experience on Lake Como!

A different and spectacular perspective on the lake

Louis_D, Sept 2022

A perfect way to see the lake up close. Michele was a great guide and had a detailed knowledge of history and an engaging way of imparting the information.

Great Experience

Katie_M, Sept 2022

We had a great experience on this tour! Fun way to see the lake and to get some amazing views. Very organized and well run. Would definitely go again.

I Worked Hard For The Money

Lena_W, Aug 2022

What a morning workout! Signed up for the 9am tour and I was coming from Como. The bus takes about an hour to get to the stop and the bus doesn’t have any indication what the stops are in the screen. So ask the bus driver to let you know. Then it was about a 16 minute walk from the bus stop to the location. Watch the YouTube video if you need indications that you’re going the right way. (2 euros if you want to use the bathroom in the hotel). The kayaks were heavy and harder to paddle for one person. But it was really calm waters and just HOT because the sun is right on you. So wear extra sun screen!! Had a great time learning about the area and thanks for the extra treat at the end to kick off the morning! The tour took a lot of of me and the heat, so make sure you stay hydrated or take time to fully rest before venturing off to see the town center.

Must do!!!

ToniMarie_M, July 2022

We had an awesome time! It was our first time kayaking and it was super easy and fun. The instructor is great!!! Told us facts about the different places in Como along the way. It’s a great way to explore the lake. We went at 9am and it was perfect. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful

JuanAndres_E, July 2022

The tour guide was personable and knowledgeable. It is a very easy but beautiful kayaking trip! Lovely way to see the gorgeous lake and mountains jutting out of Lake Como.

Kayak fun!

Everyone should do this.

Lisa_M, July 2022

Beautiful way to see all the towns on Lake Como. Great guide. Water was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Unflexible service

Hallgrimur_J, July 2022

Wanted to change the booking but there was no chance to have anything done at Viator or the service provider. Could not use my booking and lost 144 usd.

Being able to see Lake...

Adriana_S, May 2022

Being able to see Lake Como from the lake was amazing! We were able to go at our own pace and didn't feel rushed:)

Great experience with great guide

Nihaal_K, May 2022

This was one of the best things we did in Italy. The kayak tour is a fantastic way to see Como. Our guide was fantastic and very friendly. He was on time, professional, and provided us with great recommendations for things to eat/drink/see in the area. He is a great vendor and the experience was FANTASTIC.

The best Kayak tour in Bellagio!!!!!

Audrey_M, Apr 2022

We had the most incredible experience with Mich! He was so accommodating and insightful, we learned a lot about the area and he gave us the best recommendations! This was the highlight of our weekend in Como and I have been sharing this tour with all of my friends! Thank you so much for an unforgettable kayak experience, Mich!
