Loved boating with Massimo
From the moment we met Massimo we knew we were in for a great time. He is so very personable and his knowledge of the history of the lake, its villas and all the stories associated with them made our journey so valuable. We loved that he is from this region and values family, his roots and has so much pride and expertise in what he does. We hope to visit here again and take another trip with Massimo!

Honeymoon Highlight
The 4-hour private boat tour of Como with Captain Massimo was one of the highlights of our honeymoon. Massimo was very welcoming and knowledgeable, teaching us about the history of many villas on the lake. Champagne, snacks, a quick swim, and heavenly views. Can’t beat it!

A must when visiting Lake Como!
Amazing trip, would recommend to anyone coming to the area. Communication prior to tour was 5/5 with Massimo. Pick up was easy and smooth. Our skipper, Alessandro, was welcoming and knowledgeable of the area. He took us to our requested locations in addition to many other beautiful spots. Only regret it not booking more time on the boat!

Never again
Boat was supposed to be for up to 7 people. Max. 4 people can sit somewhat comfortable. Boat was quite old and dirty.
We were 6 people, cancelled the trip as sitting or rather laying on back seats was not reasonable.
Refund was not granted

Operator response
The boat is regularly registered according to the Italian law for 7 passengers plus the captain and this is clearly displayed on our Viator account , our boat is never dirty the reason why you wouldn't make the tour was your personal decisions no refund is given because we were at the meeting out on time and ready to do the tour

Outstanding communication and experience!
Our tour with Crissi sul Lago was wonderful. As a weather front was moving in that was less than perfect conditions, Massimo contacted us ahead of time and gave us multiple alternative options to allow us to complete our tour. His communication and flexibility was outstanding. Alessandro was our guide and did a great job showing us the stunning villas and gardens along the shores of Lake Como and making sure we felt safe and comfortable. The boat we had was clean, up to date, and in great condition. We would highly recommend Crissi sul Lago to anyone looking to see Lake Como from the lake!
Operator response
Super thanks !..Our goal is to make your day here on Lake Como and unforgettable moment,and we know we achieved it we are super happy and satisfied!

Terrible experience
We traveled from Milan to take this boat cruise we were so looking forward to. When we arrived in Bellagio we learned they had a bad unseasonable storm the night before and were still experiencing high winds. There were no boats on the water because of the white caps and high winds. The ferry was cancelled at one point. We learned from another traveler that their boat tour was cancelled as it was too dangerous. The vendor will not refund our money and Viator was of no help. They refused to refund our $835 so be aware.
Operator response
Me and my boat we there at the dock on time and the weather was not so bad but you decided not to come to the boat it was your decision so for this reason there is no possible refund via Viator but I am available to give you back half of what Viator will pay me next months
