Roberto was a fantastic guide. He is super knowledgeable about the area, being a fifth generation resident of the region. He was super friendly and accommodating for our family of five!
Roberto was amazing! He was a wonderful captain and very knowledgeable about Lake Como. Given we had one day at the lake, this was an exceptional experience to help see all of the beautiful towns and villas from the comfort of Roberto’s boat.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share this! I’m glad to hear the day on Lake Como was such a special part of your trip and that you were able to enjoy so many beautiful towns and villas from the boat. It was a pleasure having you on board, and I hope to see you again in the future for another great experience on the lake. Warm regards Roberto

We booked a 2 hour trip on Lake Cuomo. Our captain was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We absolutely loved the experience from the easy booking process online (they answered all our questions and concerns), to the pickup, to the drop off. The trip was memorable, we highly recommend! Grazie mille!

Helena and Roberto were the kindest, sweetest and most welcoming couple aboard their boat. From the pier to drop off, we felt as though we were with our friends from Como. They are full of life and full of interesting stories of the lake. They went out of their way to make us drinks, offer us some snacks and take pictures of us. Truly a wonderful couple and beautiful experience. Grazie per tutti, Helena et Roberto. Ci vediamo!

We had a fantastic afternoon with Roberto. We saw so many places on the lake and learned a lot of the back stories about the homes and people who live in them. It was a ton of fun, plenty of laughs and we felt so comfortable on the boat. Prosecco and snacks were much appreciated perk. Roberto was an engaging and entertaining host and we highly recommend taking a trip with him.
