Disappointing with Giovanni
We booked the tour with giovanni as a gift for the bachelorette of two of our girlfriends. Unfortunately it was quite disappointing in many points. It started with him asking to postpone the tour from 2pm to another time several times. At least he accepted that we couldnt change the time but it was stressing us out during the holiday. We booked for 1300 Euros/4h and it said it included water, snacks/lunch and prosecco. The only thing he offered us was prosecco. No snacks and NOT EVEN WATER for a trip half a day! That was unbelievable. We asked him why he didnt offer us any water or snacks. He just answered that the offer is outdated on viator. So we had to take a stop with the boat to get water and snack on our own and pay extra. It is a question of politness and good service to offer water and little snacks like fruits or cheese. And not a question of money! Also it is not our fault if he didnt update his own offer on viator. Thats his responsibility. When we used the toilettes on the boat we saw several soft drinks. So it was clear that he didnt want to offer us any. He wasnt nice at all. He seemed stressed and didnt even ask what our preferences were for the boattrip. It was not easy communicating with him. Only positive thing was the beauty of the boat, it was big enough for our large group and very clean. Also lake comos beauty was outstanding. Also the price was quite ok for 4h compared to other offers. We would not book again with him and i cant understand the positive reviews or misleading offer and pictures with snacks f.e.
