Private speedboat tour of Lake Como. Big villa views, film locations, a Comacina swim option, and drinks with guides Pietro and Federica.
“I was a frustrated client. I booked with Como Floaty Tours and found out I had booked the wrong date, thus out $344. OK, My bad and I will own it. The company had another opening the next day and offered me a tour, but with another 150 Euros. Again, Ok....we just wanted this experience. The problem was locating the pier to meet the boat. The company told me to go to the Riva Grande Pier in Varenna.. I put in my maps, went there and they never showed up. I previously sent them 2 e-mails to use and a different phone number. Unfortunately they still used my phone, which…”

One-hour shared Last Supper guided tour at Milan’s Il Cenacolo, with admission ticket included. English speaking, small group.
“The tour guide was great and super knowledgeable. However, the experience felt over complicated at times and honestly a bit disorganized - really unacceptable considering the price. I just wanted to see the last supper but wound up walking through multiple buildings and ticket entries etc. We were left out in the rain multiple times in waiting for the whole group. These things happen, but it really should be for much smaller groups at least so it’s more doable and we can hear the whole time. The microphone only worked if she spoke directly into it which I imagine isn’t so comfortable but again, we were too many to be…”

A 1-hour private Lake Como cruise for up to 6 on the Invictus, passing Villa d’Este, Laglio, and Villa Pliniana with an English captain.
“Our captain was very nice and knowledgeable! We enjoyed the history and stories he told us. The views were breathtaking and the music was wonderful. However, I am unable to give it 5 stars because our tour started 30 minutes late. It was explained that there were technical difficulties but when the boat arrived there was another group finishing their tour and food from their trip was left behind when we started our tour. It also felt rushed when we were brought on to the boat, which could have been due to the late start but it made it feel less than relaxed. The description noted that prosecco and water…”
Private 4-hour Lake Como speedboat for up to 7, with stops like Bellagio, Varenna, Villa Balbianello, plus Isola Comacina swim time.
“Boat tour was very nice - snacks, water and Prosecco. Driver was accommodating to pick and drop off in different part of lake for extra fee. Would have liked a little more information about the areas we were seeing - seemed to only be boat driving tour, not informative about what we were actually seeing. Driver stopped in 2 spots for us and our kids to swim. Overall was an excellent day on the water and very nice driver. Would recommend if just want to get out on a boat and see the other parts of the lake :)”
