Late and felt ripped off

We rented a boat self drive around Lake Como. We were very disappointed by the service we received. The boat was 20 minutes late and did not know we were coming. The website also said that there were no hidden costs yet when we disembarked we were told we needed to pay 30 Euros for fuel. We only got 50mins on the boat despite paying over 100 Euros for an hour trip due to the service running late. To be honest I wouldn’t recommend. The actual boat was great and a fun experience. Just very disappointed with the service provided.

Super

Everything was great! Punctual, nice and we had a lot of fun. It's a shame an hour was too short. Two hours would be better.

A must!A wonderful opportunity to experience Lake Como on one zone we were met by Andrea who is lovely and explained eve

Wonderful opportunity to experience Lake Como on one’s own. We were met by Andrea who was lovely and explained everything to us. The boat was i. excellent condition and very easy to manage. We arrived a little late because it was hard to find parking and he very graciously extended the trip for us. Definitely worth doing, but if you arrive by car, give yourself extra time to park.
