Taxi Boat Mandello was an amazing experience to see Lake Como from the water. We had a relaxing moment after our wedding ceremony. They are so kind and welcoming! Truly one of the best parts of our day.

Federico did a fantastic job. Very knowledable and answered all our questions.
Good at navigating choppy water. Boat was very comfortable.

Angela Hill

Federico was a great tour guide showing us all around the amazing spots on Lake Como. Well worth the money to see the coast from the water side instead of the land side. Would recommend this company to everyone!
