Long time reader, first time poster. Heading to Varenna with my wife in August to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I’d love to surprise her with a private boat tour on Lake Como and ending with a dinner in Bellagio (or anywhere, really) where we could arrive by boat and eat right on the water. Doesn’t need to be overly fancy (we aren’t big fish/seafood lovers nor are we foodies though she is certainly more adventurous than me when it comes to food). I guess what I’m saying is that we prefer a great view and good food over the need for some Michelin star restaurant.
We are staying at Hotel du Lac in Varenna. I’ve done a bit of research on private boat tours but I’d rather book from someplace recommended by the fine folks here who’ve done this already as I trust the feedback from y’all over some random trip advisor comments.
Any suggestions or recommendations are appreciated. I’m kind of a knucklehead when it comes to trying to surprise my wife with something cool so I’d like to try to make this happen.
I’m thinking a couple hours touring the lake by boat and then doing dinner. Thanks in advance for any help you’re willing to provide. No pressure, but without your help we will probably end up in a paddle boat docked at McDonalds. So, for my wife’s sake, help a guy out?
