The crossing from Como to Bellagio alone, where the two arms of the lake meet, would take over 2 hours. Then the trip down the other arm would also take about 2 hours and then another 2 hours over to the other side of the lake. The way back would then be at least 4 hours. That means 10 hours for the boat part of the excursion alone, let alone the time for changing boats, visiting places and so on. Alright, we need to change that plan. I still wanted to explore part of the lake by boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/abfahrt-aus-como.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/abfahrt-aus-como.jpg\" alt=\"Schiffstour Comer See\" class=\"wp-image-5112\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lake Como boat tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We boarded the boat in Como at 10 in the morning.

A particular mansion at the lake. It served as a filming location for a few scenes in the James Bond movie \u201eCasino Royale\u201c as well as for scenes from \u201eStar Wars Episode II \u2013 Attack of the Clones\u201c and \u201eThis One Summer\u201c.<br>The Balbianello mansion sits on a small peninsula and it is owned by an Italian environmental and cultural preservation organisation. On a couple of days each week, paying visitors are allowed in the garden of the mansion. You can also catch a glimpse of it from one of the tour boats on the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/james-bond-villa.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/james-bond-villa.jpg\" alt=\"Drehort James Bond\" class=\"wp-image-5125\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/schauplatz-einiger-filme.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/schauplatz-einiger-filme.jpg\" alt=\"Comer See Drehort\" class=\"wp-image-5126\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Destination Port Bellagio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blick-nach-bellagio.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blick-nach-bellagio.jpg\" alt=\"Blick nach Bellagio\" class=\"wp-image-5128\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After over 2.5 hours our destination Bellagio came into view.
