A five-star experience!

​A boat tour that was simply perfect from every point of view! The organization was impeccable from the very first moment. We visited wonderful places and breathtaking views. A special round of applause goes to Massimo: his helpfulness, professionalism, and friendliness made the day truly unforgettable. You feel welcomed and pampered from start to finish. We went out on the boat with him more than once, and the nighttime experience is also truly beautiful! ​Highly recommended to anyone who wants to have a special experience on the lake.

Boat day tour on Lake Como with Massimo

I would recommend Massimo to anyone looking to explore Lake Como on the water. He was very friendly and provided lots of background knowledge on the history of the lake. He took us to some of the best spots on the lake to view the towns and villas, and to go swimming. He genuinely makes an effort to connect with his passengers, elevating the entire experience.

You would never want to come down!

I have spent a day on a boat with Crissi on the Lake several times, a super experience, Massimo is a captain who knows every corner between villas and small towns all over the lake and tells about them along with a thousand anecdotes. Very comfortable boats, great hospitality. Lake Como seen from the water is something else. Recommended for those who want to disconnect for a few hours and see something unique

A super interesting tour

Massimo welcomed us onto his boat with courtesy and cheerfulness, illustrating the main beauties of Lake Como: spectacular villas accessible only by lake, botanical gardens, Comacina Island, and characteristic beaches. I recommend Crissi on the Lake to everyone and Massimo was an exemplary captain; the day was spent in super harmony with friends and my whole family (including my two children aged 7 and 3). The children had a lot of fun, and we went swimming several times, surrounded by the breathtaking panorama offered by Lake Como. Highly recommended experience.

Fantastic tour of Lake Como

Wonderful afternoon tour of Lake Como. Fantastic locations made better by the knowledge and sympathy of Massimo, captain of the boat. Kindness, courtesy, friendliness and competence made this experience really superb. The tour we had the opportunity to agree with him also on the basis of our requests, with a dedicated and decidedly refreshing bathroom stop. Experience highly recommended!
