We did the 2 hour cruise which was so enjoyable. It was a small group, some seated at the front of the boat and three of us at the back. Our driver/guide was polite, friendly and very knowledgeable (I’m so sorry to have forgotten his name). He stopped at each of the highlights of the tour and gave us information and answered any queries we had. The retro Italian themed songs in between stops was a nice touch and added to the atmosphere. I would recommend.

We had a wonderful time! Captain Frank was very knowledgeable and a great guide. The stop at Nesso was enchanting. It was a brisk sunny day with strong winds, which made the boat ride an invigorating adventure!! Highly recommended. TEN 👍 UP

The tour was great, but company asked us to pay $60 more for 1 hour private tour (we purchased shared tour) or $82 more for shared 2 hours tour 1 hour later. We took 2 hours and were happy we did even it completely changed our plan for the day.

Unfortunately, it often happens that shared tours don’t reach the required minimum number of participants. In these cases, customers are correctly asked if they would like to switch from a shared to a private tour by paying a small additional fee, or alternatively — as in your case — we offer other options, sometimes even more convenient, though with different schedules. We truly believe we did our best to accommodate you and are confident that we don’t deserve a three-star rating.

I did the 1hr speed boat tour. Really lovely scenic route passing by some amazing villas and towns. We did about ~5 stops and got a brief description of what we were seeing from our captain / guide.
There wasn’t huge amounts of information - I’d have maybe liked a little more history/knowledge - but it was fun, and the journey was beautiful - it was lovely to see the lake from the water.
Visitor seemed to charge a lot more than if I’d have paid directly to the company themselves / on the shore, so I’d recommend booking directly.

In fact, the descriptions provided by the captains about the villas and landmarks are carefully calibrated to fit within the time needed to visit all the spots included in the one-hour tour. Unfortunately, when the captain gives more detailed information, it results in longer stops in front of the villas, causing delays and making it impossible to complete the entire tour properly.
As for the payment you made and the existence of different rates depending on the booking method, please note that you booked through TripAdvisor, which is certainly a more expensive option compared to booking directly through our website. However, this is quite easy to understand and does not need to be mentioned in a review. Thank you.

Initially booked as a private tour for 2-3. Then modified after purchase to shared. Company sold 5 tickets at the dock at a massively reduced rate 45 Euros per person. Still had fun but do not waste your money purchasing at a full retail rate assuming it will be a private tour...
Response from Host, Jun 2025
You are acting in bad faith, and I strongly advise you to stop spreading falsehoods. The boat used for your tour is exclusively designated for shared tours, so it is not possible that you purchased a private tour with us on the KARNIC boat.
Moreover, the price you paid (€45 or €55 depending on agency fees) clearly confirms that this was a shared tour, not a private one. The sales policies regarding our products concern only our company—not you.
You paid for a shared service, and that is exactly what you received.
Thank you.

Well worth spending a bit extra and having a 2 hour trip. Fun captain and only 5 of us on the boat so a very personalised service.
We booked at 6.15pm but didn’t leave until 6.45pm so it was a little cold and getting dark when we arrived back - but the trip was still well worth it and he supplied blankets so all good. Amazing lake and villas and good commentary by the captain.

Unfortunately, on the days you booked your tour, the city of Como was overwhelmed with visitors, and the pier where the boats depart was overcrowded, causing delays in the docking of the vessels. It is not our fault that Como only has one pier to accommodate all the customers. I am sorry, but we certainly do not deserve the 4-star rating you gave us. As always, our service was top-notch, and as always, we deserve a 5-star rating."
