Como tour - disappointing
Disappointing and did not compare favourably with other private boat tours previously made abroad. The inclusions of bottled water, bubbly and snacks, music, were not offered and had to be requested. No swimming opportunity was put forward. It was very impersonal and Giovanni although polite did not really interact.
Response from the operator: Dear Aileen, I'm surprised to read your review after we postponed the tour and the time to your liking. Are you sure I didn't ask to your family member if you wanted to drink a bottle of wine? Also, when the weather is bad and there is a lot of wind, I am forbidden to swim for safety reasons.

Absolutely fantastic
The views were incredible. We took a gazillion pictures. Giovanni was excellent. He’s very sweet and accommodating. Gave us all the history too. Served pizza and Prosecco. Fantastic trip
Response from the operator: Dear Mrs Madhvi, thank you for your review. Hope to see you soon

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Hours Private Boat Tour on Lake Como: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does 2 Hours Private Boat Tour on Lake Como cost?
+
Prices start at $790 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Hours Private Boat Tour on Lake Como take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.
Is 2 Hours Private Boat Tour on Lake Como worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Hours Private Boat Tour on Lake Como?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Hours Private Boat Tour on Lake Como suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Hours Private Boat Tour on Lake Como?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Hours Private Boat Tour on Lake Como start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lake Como?
+
On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise, Small-Group Lake Como: Bellagio, Varenna, Hidden Gorge & Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lake Como?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lake Como?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
