Girlfriend trip 2022

Helen_A, Oct 2022

At the last minute we had to switch boats and drivers. Ricardo was an excellent host and made our day so much fun!

Awful experience and service

Thomas_M, Sep 2022

The boat canceled twice. Once and then a new boat was found. Then the night before the second boat canceled. Extremely unprofessional.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Dear Mr Meselheimer, I'm sorry that you couldn't try our service. I also believe that such a review should require more explanation, as we deal with real problems. A broken engine first, and personal problems of the substitute captain are hard to believe, but that's it. Believe it or not I spent hours looking for another substitute, but all where fully booked. We've all been unlucky. If you'll come again to Lake Como, it will be my pleasure to take you on a tour for free. Feel free to contact me anytime, you should have my tel nr.

Thank you for your review!

Unforgettable family experience

Paul, Jul 2021

Amazing experience for my wife and I and our four young kids (8, 5, 3, and 1). Paolo picked us up in a beautiful boat near our Airbnb and showed us all around the lake, traditional villages, aristocrat houses, shared stories, and brought us to some epic swimming areas. Having the sparkling wine on board as we sailed into the sunset was a memory we’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2021
