COMO GOLF FIELD GUIDE
Como in Two Acts — An Eco Golf Car Through the Old Town, a Venetian-Style Boat Along the Villas
A focused 2-hour combined land-and-water tour that pairs an eco-friendly golf car ride through Como's streets with a classic wooden boat cruise to view the lake's great villas.
Como in Two Acts — An Eco Golf Car Through the Old Town, a Venetian-Style Boat Along the Villas.
Discover Como from two complementary perspectives: a comfortable, eco-friendly golf car threads the city’s piazzas and narrow streets, then an elegant, Venetian-style wooden taxi boat takes you onto Lake Como to pass the great villas, including Villa Oleandra. The sequence—land first, water next—packs the city and shoreline into a compact, scenic two-hour experience.

Local expertise and multilingual narration
Tours are led by an expert local driver and supplemented by an audio guide available in seven languages, so the route’s landmarks come with context whether you listen in Italian, English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese or Chinese.
Two viewpoints: streets and shoreline

Comfortable, eco-friendly golf car and elegant wooden boat
Travel through Como in a quiet, eco-minded golf car and then board a Venetian-style wooden taxi boat for a classic lakeside approach to the villas—an intentional contrast of intimate urban streets and open-water views.
