Como tour - disappointing
Disappointing and did not compare favourably with other private boat tours previously made abroad. The inclusions of bottled water, bubbly and snacks, music, were not offered and had to be requested. No swimming opportunity was put forward. It was very impersonal and Giovanni although polite did not really interact.
Operator response
Dear Aileen, I'm surprised to read your review after we postponed the tour and the time to your liking. Are you sure I didn't ask to your family member if you wanted to drink a bottle of wine? Also, when the weather is bad and there is a lot of wind, I am forbidden to swim for safety reasons.

10/10 Best Boat Tour I Have Ever Been On!
My family and I had the most incredible experience on Giovanni’s boat tour. I have been to Lake Como before, but this trip was particularly special because of this tour. Giovanni showed us the best of Lake Como, including areas that most tourists never get to see! The service and quality of the guide was exceptional! We were able to visit Bellagio and villa balbianello. Highly recommend!

You have to do this!! Great way to see the overview of Lake Como and all the beautiful parts. Villas were gorgeous.
We had a perfect morning on the water!
Only thing water was a little too rough for us to go for a swim.

Giovanni was an excellent captain! He was very prompt to answer all our questions before our boat tour. We requested to go to Nesso to see the waterfall and swim by the bridge and he was more than happy to make that happen!
