About This Tour

ROYAL TOUR

THE JAMES BOND EXPERIENCE

Lake Como as you have never seen it before.

Come aboard Lario Water Taxi and let us take you on a journey of elegance, cinema and iconic landscapes, on the trail of James Bond in Casino Royale.

We will set off to discover some of the most evocative corners of the central lake, passing Cadenabbia and Tremezzo, with the famous Grand Hotel Tremezzo, until we reach Villa del Balbianello, one of the most famous film locations on Lake Como, featured in Casino Royale as well as Star Wars.

We will then sail on towards Nesso, one of the most spectacular places on the lake, where we will admire from the water the famous Civera Bridge and the striking waterfall of the Orrido di Nesso, set between sheer rock walls.

And of course, the journey can only end on the trail of the world of 007, among historic villas, cinematic views and panoramas that have made Lake Como one of the most fascinating destinations in the world.

A private tour. A legendary lake. A story to live.

The itinerary and stops are indicative: if you would like to do something different or reach a place especially dear to you, we can take you straight there, as long as the time booked allows.
