I gave 3 stars because the customer service is catastrophic! I was late because of the train but it was impossible to contact the provider and Viator could do nothing!! I find that the provider is poorly located and difficult to find. Eventually, after some twists and turns, we found them and were able to go on the excursion. This one is very good on a beautiful, comfortable boat.
The meeting point was poorly indicated, and it was impossible to contact the company. Organization was not great; however, the boat is clean and spacious, and the trip was nice once we managed to find the agency.
Such a good way to see the villas and towns from the lake and to skip the long queues of the public ferries, had audio guide and comfy seats and a bar and toilets on board, we had an amazing afternoon
How can I put it? Catastrophic service!!! The staff is very unpleasant and walks us from dock to dock, absolutely no organization! If you want to lose half a day, nothing better! To flee without a doubt!!! Too bad we can't mention 0 stars
Very nice boat ride and great view of the villas, homes, and buildings from the lake. The audio on the boat was not working, so that was unfortunate.
