The boat photo u seen in the picture is not what you get when u arrive. They catfish to get you to book
DO NOT BOOK, pictures look nothing like the boat. There is a different wrap on the boat so does not look like the classic boat. They didn’t arrive on time, refused to refund me after I raised the picture looks nothing like to boat so would rather not go and pay for a boat that would meet expectations. So was forced to go, after I sent pictures to office and they confirmed that the boat does not look like the pictures. Admin staff were based in the office were terrible, also to be clear you will be expected to pay fuel charge, although they do not share that information with you when they text to confirm the booking.
Dear Wilnelia, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. We would like to clarify once again that the boat used for this experience is always the same boat shown in our listing. We only operate this tour with one boat, and there is no alternative boat used for this experience. The boat you saw online when making your reservation is the same provided for the tour. And after reviewing the photo you sent us, we can confirm once again that it matches the images published on the platform. Regarding the fuel charge, we would like to clarify that this information is not hidden and is clearly communicated throughout the entire booking process. The fuel cost is visible before booking, during the booking procedure, after the reservation is confirmed, on your ticket, and also in the messages sent through the platform and to your mobile phone. Therefore, all customers have access to this information before taking part in the experience. We always aim to provide clear and transparent information so that our guests can make an informed decision before booking. We regret that there was a misunderstanding regarding these points, but we remain confident that the experience provided was exactly as advertised. We appreciate your feedback and hope that, despite these misunderstandings, you were able to enjoy your time on Lake Como. We wish you all the best, Shusciu Nautical Division
David, our skipper was very friendly, driving the boit safely on the lake, with key explanations about each sightseeing spots and villas around the lake. 1 hour trip was a good compromise, and at 19h, the temperature and Light were perfect for this trip on the lake. We warmly recommend it
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to know that you had such an enjoyable experience and that you appreciated the beauty of Lake Como during the evening. Sunset is one of the most magical times to be out on the water. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again. Wish you all the best, Shusciu Nautical Division
All was wonderful. Captain was very nice. Only negative point is that it would be best to include the fuel charge with the price as it can come as surprise at the end of the trip and is kind of a downer (the clause is indicated in the fine print, if you click further, but if you miss it it come unexpected)
Thank you for your review! We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour and that our captain made your experience even more enjoyable. We understand your observation regarding the fuel charge. Just to clarify, the fuel cost is shown before completing the reservation, during the booking process, and it is also included on the purchase confirmation. We always aim to keep all costs as clear and transparent as possible. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again! Wish you all the best, Shusciu Nautical Division
It was a total bait and switch! I could not even believe the smallest old boat that the people on the “PIER” insisted was the one I paid for and it was NO classic boat! Not only was the ride crazy rough but there was literally NO touring info other than the guy pointing out a waterfall, a few hotels and George Clooney’s place!! Oh and to cap it off he insisted I pay a €100 MORE euros for fuel!! I can’t even believe my $487.00 paid for absolutely nothing that was advertised and was a total rip off!!
Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify a few important points for future guests. The boat used for your tour was the one booked and corresponds to the category and photos shown on the Viator listing. We do not substitute boats with different models unless previously agreed with the customer. 😉 Regarding the fuel surcharge, this is not a hidden fee. It is clearly stated on the Viator listing before booking, during the booking process, on your booking confirmation, and again in the message we send the evening before the activity. The €100 fuel charge for your tour was exactly the amount indicated on the ticket. As for the tour itself, our skippers are happy to point out the main villas, landmarks, and interesting locations along the route. However, this experience is primarily a private boat tour, designed to let guests relax and enjoy the beauty of Lake Como, rather than a guided historical excursion. We are sorry that the lake conditions were rough during your trip. Lake Como is a public lake where ferries and other boats operate throughout the day, and water conditions can vary depending on traffic and weather. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control. We always strive to provide a professional and transparent service, and we regret that your perception was different. We wish you all the best and thank you for sharing your feedback.

I booked the one hour private boat trip for myself, my husband and our two adult children. On booking I received a text saying that I needed to pay an additional €50 to the captain for the fuel. I wasn’t aware of this and this wasn’t mentioned in the advert or in the booking. I wonder what the actual payment of €199 is for if fuel is not included!! I suggest you read the small print before booking with this company - Shusciu Nautical Division Boat Rental Como. Having said that, the boat trip was lovely and the captain was excellent and very knowledgeable.
Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about the boat trip and our captain. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience. 😊 We would, however, like to clarify one important point regarding the fuel charge. The €50 fuel fee is not a hidden cost. It is clearly stated on the Viator booking page before you book, during the booking process, on your booking confirmation/ticket, and again in the message we send the evening before the activity. Unfortunately, it seems this information was simply overlooked. If you have any doubts about how this information is displayed on the platform, we recommend contacting Viator directly, as they manage the booking interface and the information shown to customers. Thank you again for your feedback. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back on Lake Como in the future! Shusciu Nautical Division

Dear Terry, Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you had such a positive travel experience. It seems your comments may refer to a different property or service, but we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Wish you all the best, Shusciu Nautical Division
I cannot recommend highly enough the 4-hour private Lake Como tour. It was such a special experience to be able to enjoy such stunning location and have the flexibility to visit charming Bellagio and Varenna as well, without fighting the crowds on the larger ferries. Our guide Frederico was absolutely wonderful and expertly navigated around the lake to show us breathtaking historic villas and hidden gems, and shared fascinating local history along the way. If I ever have the opportunity to return to Lake Como I would not hesitate to take this tour again.
Hello! Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time on Lake Como and appreciated the flexibility of exploring Bellagio and Varenna away from the crowds. 😊 We hope to welcome you back on board again in the future. Wish you all the best, Shusciu Nautical Division 🍀
