Organization to be improved
A unique moment at a splendid sunset. Magnificent landscapes.
The support is nonexistent. No welcome at the meeting point, no indicative sign, no audio guide contrary to the description. The boat pilot provides commentary on the main spots. Return to the starting point a bit too fast, not allowing time to enjoy the scenery and drink the prosecco.
Operator response
Bonjour,
Merci d'avoir partagé votre expérience. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la beauté des paysages et l'atmosphère unique du coucher de soleil.
Nous sommes toutefois désolés d'apprendre que certains aspects de l'organisation n'ont pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Vos remarques concernant l'accueil au point de rendez-vous, le manque d'indications et l'absence de l'audioguide sont importantes et nous les prenons en considération afin d'améliorer notre service. Concernant les commentaires à bord, notre skipper présente les principaux points d'intérêt lorsque les conditions de navigation le permettent.
Nous regrettons également que le retour vous ait semblé trop rapide et n'ait pas permis de profiter pleinement de la fin de l'excursion et du prosecco. Nous transmettrons votre retour à notre équipe afin d'évaluer ce point.
Nous vous remercions encore pour votre avis, qui nous aide à améliorer continuellement l'expérience de nos visiteurs, et espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau.
Cordialement,
A

Viator description does not match the boat tour
It’s just a boat tour- no audio guide, no talking or anything- the boat captain served the prosecco and quickly told us that he will pass by some properties/villas- didn’t bother to repeat anything, not much communication- Viator said there’ll be an audio tour and asked us to download an app TRAVELMATE etc. Nothing of the sort happened.
The boat itself was fine and it was a pleasant one hour on the water but with no explanation of anything whatsoever.

Highly recommend, beautiful tour of the best lake como has to offer
Practically a private tour, with beautiful views and impressive villas. Everything we wanted in a boat tour of Lake Como. Driver was very informative and got to hear about the people that live/lived in each villa. Highly recommend! The pick up location was a bit confusing because it was on a public dock with no signage, but the boat was exactly on time, which helped.
Operator response

Your feedback about the signage is very helpful, and we’ll work on making the pick-up spot clearer for future guests. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

Very nice guide, Alesandro, with a small group. Actually met someone who knew a friend from my home town of Verona, NJ! Crazy! No apertivi, but memorable.
