Great tour, our boat driver Daniel is great and he accommodated wherever you want to stop for a photo, very friendly and professional.
Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! I hope to see you soon! Andrea
Unwilling to help with accidental booking at all, I cried on the phone for 2 hours, talked to their team about an honest mistake, willing to cover any associated costs it took to start the tour, begged for a refund for a $1500 tour and said I would book again in 2 weeks and they were just unwilling to even consider helping me at all. The booking was made at 6 am in Italy time (12 am my time), 7 hours before the tour which shouldn’t even be possible to book that last minute. I understand the work they did to bring the boat out, but I was still willing to pay the full price to rebook + extra. They were very unaccommodating and rude. I understand it is my fault, mistakes happen but I’m in my mid twenties, it is a huge cost to cover on my own, and they wouldn’t even hear me out which upset me as well.
Dear Alexis, we were at the meeting point waiting for you. We called, texted, waited for two hours, and you didn't even bother to answer. Now, you've started this drama demanding a refund. A negative review for something we're not responsible for certainly won't get you a refund or a free tour in the future. As I've said many times, it's a NO SHOW for us. We're not playing, we're working. Please respect our work.
The address listed for pickup by boat to Lake Como's dock WAS COMPLETELY WRONG!!! The hied car abandoned us and said the address Viator listed for the boat pickup was the one he used. IT WAS NOT THE CORRECT ONE! The driver could not find the dock's location and we lost more than ONE HOUR of a very expensive Viator activity I've tried to reach out to your company by phone with no success I would appreciate a return call and refund for A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Hi, you should leave a negative review for your driver. The meeting point is clear to everyone. We do 2,000 tours a year, and honestly, you're the first person to leave a negative review because they can't reach us (your driver, by the way, has nothing to do with us). We're sorry you wasted an hour, but I don't understand why you're taking it out on us.
What an incredible experience! Andrea did an amazing job planning an ideal 4-hour itinerary, giving us time to explore and eat in Bellagio and to walk through Varenna.
Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! I hope to see you soon! Andrea
10000/10 - this was just not a boat ride around the lake, this was 60min of jam-packed info of why the lake is so great - who lived there and the history behind it all.
Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to do this tour with you! I hope to see you soon! Andrea
