Marco was excellent, very friendly, and showed us many interesting homes around Lake Como in our hour together. The prosecco was a nice touch as well. Good communication from the booking agent as well.
Thank you very much for your review! We will be happy to see you again.
What to say? Great and must do! We came to Como from Milan just for this boat ride... And it was really amazing! Our skipper was very kind and hopefully he could wait us because we were 20 minutes late. One hour is not enough to see all the beauty of such a wonderful Lake! If you have time it's better to book 2 or 3 hours...
Best experience in Como! It was amazing, very beautiful Como, lots of great things to see, very interesting srories from the skipper! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
By boat is a beautiful way to see the surrounding views Lake Como has to offer!! Really did enjoy the photo opportunities and our skipper “Peter” allowed ample stop & view times throughout the hour. My main issue was the cost to value - could get most of the same views from a ferry ride, though of course not quite the same relaxing venue. I may be a little jaded as our guide was 20 min late (but, these things do happen); however, the text interactions made it look like we were the late ones (we were 20-30min EARLY). Then spent another 10min talking about possible time extensions — wanted addl $150 for a 2nd hour. I was not pleased and decided against the last minute add-on. Electing the do-it-yourself Ferry alternative without the time restrictions our guide would have imposed. If you have the extra cash and know what to expect, this is an average day (sorry, HOUR) spent on the lake. Dress warm! There were no blankets available - but a towel if you got cold. He did provide a nice treat of Prosecco and cheese, speck, cracker combo, which was appreciated. Overall, I’d give it a 3 out of 5 stars.
Hello, Thank you for your review. It's very important for us! We are very sorry for the delay. In fact we informed that you were in touch with our manager. The delay was because of confusion with other client for the same tour and the same time. We do our best to not have this situations. We are very sorry for this. We also investigated the fact of 2nd hour cost. In fact you asked to have drop off in Bellagio and our skipper told you that it needs extra 150 euro just for fuel, but not for 2nd extra hour of tour. The skipper was very surprised about the review, because as he says you were very satisfied with the tour. As about snacks, we don't provide any snacks for 1 h boat tour, there is just prosecco included. I hope that you really enjoyed this great experience in Como.
Our guide was patient and kind with us. The experience was wonderful. A charming exploration of the history and charm of the southeast leg of Lake Como. Our Caption, Pietro was very friendly and well educated on the unique parts of the lake. He even shared some childhood memories of his time there which made the experience feel extra special. Through the booking and day-of event they were very communicative and brought value and patience the whole way through. Grazie!
Thank you so much for this review! We hope to see you again!
Our favorite trip in Italy! We were traveling around of all Italy and made this tour in Como. Very beautiful, very lovely, relaxing and interesting ride. Thank you for such a great organization
YOU cancelled the private boat trip the day before it was due to take place. It was the main reason for visiting Milan and it cost £300!!!
Hello, you have already left the review. The tour was canceled 24 h before due to the weather prevision, strong wind and the rain on the Lake. We take care of the save service for our clients.
YOU cancelled the trip the day before…without warning or reason. It was impossible to find another supplier. You totally ruined the purpose of our trip to Milan and Como
Hello. The tour was canceled because of the weather prevision and strong wind on the Lake. The skipper takes a desicion, because it's important to provide a save service to our clients. The tour was canceled 24 h before and you will receive a full refund.
Great way to see Lake Como from the water! We cruised right along the shoreline and got a good view of the beautiful villas and towns.
Very good boat tour - the boat was very modern and fancy. The views on the lake were breathtaking. Skipper was very friendly and welcoming
