Wonderful cruise!

We had a wonderful time, cruising Lake Como with our captain Massimo. The day was very windy, which made the lake choppy. But Massimo took great care to navigate along the shore so that we would be more comfortable. He is very friendly, knowledgeable, and prepared, even offering me a power bank when my iPhone battery died. Wonderful experience!

Operator response
