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.
