Many thanks Madeleine..it was really very nice to have you and your lovely family aboard !..hope to see you again one day here at lake Como!
Massimo was amazing. We had such a great time with him and seeing Lake Como. He was very accommodative to any request we had. Proseco was flowing and our music (via Bluetooth) was bumping. Highly recommend going later in the day.
Many thanks Joseph!..it was really very nice to have you and your lovely fiance aboard!..I really wish you all the best and hope to see you again one day on Lake Como!..grazie mille arrivederci a presto!
We had a lovely 3 hour boat ride on the lake from Tremezzo. Massimo’s boat is spacious and very smooth on the lake. We wanted to swim which Massimo provided a few different locations. He is very knowledgeable about the area and was very accommodating of our requests. I would encourage people to bring their own snacks and towels, but prosecco and cups were provided which was great. A lovely day on the lake.
Many thanks !..I was really happy to cruise with you on Lake Como,you and your family you are really very nice people..grazie mille e arrivederci a presto!
Absolutely the best way to see the Lake Como area. Massimo is a perfect boat captain, with a lifetime of knowledge about the area. He took us to all the hot spots around the lake and provided information and history about the various towns. He is an expert boatsman, safe and reliable, and worked hard to make this the perfect trip for us. It was an incredible experience that we will always remember. Well worth the cost. Can’t wait to come back. We will absolutely boat with Missimo again!
