Lake Maggiore & Borromean Islands: Hop-on Hop-off Boat Tour
About this experience
Make like Ernest Hemingway and the British royals as you cruise around Lake Maggiore. This scenic part of northern Italy is packed with history and artistic legacy.
Get on and off the boat whenever you like for close-ups of the Borromean Islands and Stresa.
Explore the monumental Isola Bella and its 17th-century Palazzo Borromeo. See Isola dei Pescatori (Fishermen’s Island) – the only one inhabited all year round, and don't miss Isola Madre, known for its blooming botanical garden.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
