Wonderful experience. Our driver was knowledgeable and personable! She was an excellent captain and made sure we were comfortable and safe - and she shared the history and the stories of the villas and towns around the lake. Best trip - we were so pleased. We had time for stops in Bellagio and Varena and her recommendations for where to go were wonderful! We would highly recommend our driver, Elisia.

Andrea was great and very considerate of our needs. He was informative and professional while giving us a fantastic boat ride and orientation of Lake Como.

Tricia and I were picked up at our Hotel Villa Flori by Andrea in our speedboat as we headed from Como to Bellagio. Andrea was an excellent guide and plilot, stopping at dozens of villas to discuss the history and significance of these priceless family properties. We arrived at Bellagio at the midpoint (2 hours) of our journey. Wehad lunch othe Bellagio waterfront and headed home. The skies darkenedquickly and opened up. Thunder and lighting and pelting rain accompanied us about 10 kilometers of the return trip. Andrea did very best to keep us safe. No one was dry, but hewasa trooper, an excellent pilot, quickly earning out trust. It was all part of the journey. Plenty of stories to tell back home over a map, our pictures, and a couple glasses of wine!
5+ stars!

Incredible experience with an amazing guide! Well worth the money. Lake Como is absolutely stunning and it was awesome to experience it in a private boat tour. They provided music, champagne and knowledge of the area. I would highly recommend!

The boat operator showed up late, then we he had to get paperwork sorted out at a nearby location before we could begin our tour.
During the boat tour, we were dropped off at the Bellagio dock (this was a stuggle for him as his boat was not functioning well and quite scary for us). We were told to meet him back at the dock at a given time, he did not show up for 45 mins after that time, so then he rushed us back to Como instead of doing a stop at another town as he had told us at the beginning of the boat tour.
It was too expensive a tour, given the delays and the condition of the boat .... I would not recommend a tour with this group.

Hello, sorry for your bad experience on the lake.
You are rating a wrong company, please check better the name of whom you booked with.
We don't have your name among the clients, and the boat you are rating only works between June and September. At this moment it is still out of the water :)

Claudio was a great guide and a captain, he showed us around in Como Lake and he had a very positive vibe. I would recommend anyone to book the trip without even having a doubt in mind. Always would be happy to book again!
