Exactly what we expected!
Perfect and exactly what we expected! We booked a private, to our boat tour. We were staying in Cernobbio and requested pick up and drop off there. That was no problem and very convenient. The only downside is the hours start and stop from the Como city Harbor, so our two hour trip was really only about an hour and 30 minutes. They did tell me that in advance so I was not surprised! The driver was great, spoke great English, and was very responsive and informative. We were also celebrating so we included the Prosecco, which was so easy – they had it ready for us on the boat.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private boat tour and that the pick-up and drop-off in Cernobbio made your experience even more convenient. It’s great to know that our captain made you feel comfortable and well taken care of, and that you appreciated his knowledge and communication throughout the tour. We’re also very happy that the Prosecco was the perfect addition to your celebration! Thank you for choosing Shusciu Nautical Division to be part of such a special occasion. We truly hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience on Lake Como. We hope to see you again soon! Shusciu Nautical Division

Ehh, Lake Como
It was ok. Was expecting a true wooden boat James Bond style boat and experience. We stopped 5 times explaining the different properties. There were 3 of us and only had 2 waters to offer. They did a good job explaining where to meet. It should be included I. What to expect that we need to pay 50 euros for gas. The Lake and view were gorgeous. I would have picked a different type of boat if we had known.
Response from the operator: Dear Tonya, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of Lake Como and that you found our meeting instructions clear and helpful. We are sorry, however, that the experience did not fully match your expectations. We would like to clarify a few points. The boat used for this experience is exactly the boat shown in our listing, and the experience is operated exclusively with this boat. We always aim to present the boat accurately through the photos and description provided on the platform. Regarding the €50 fuel charge, we would also like to clarify that this cost is clearly communicated throughout the booking process. The information is available before booking, during the reservation process, after the booking is confirmed, on the ticket, and in the messages sent through the platform and to the guest’s mobile phone. We therefore always do our best to ensure that all costs are transparent and known in advance. As for the stops along the tour, these are part of the experience and are intended to allow our guests to discover and learn more about the beautiful villas and properties along Lake Como. We are sorry if this was not the type of experience you were expecting. We regret that, had you known more about the boat beforehand, you might have chosen a different experience. Nevertheless, we remain confident that the experience provided was consistent with the information and images published at the time of booking. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope that despite these misunderstandings, you were able to enjoy the spectacular views and beauty of Lake Como. We wish you all the best, Shusciu Nautical Division

Do not book, pictures...
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.

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.

Therefore, all customers have access to this information before taking part in the experience.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lake Como Private Classic Boat Experience from Como: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does Lake Como Private Classic Boat Experience from Como cost?
+
Prices start at $220 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 Lake Como Private Classic Boat Experience from Como take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Lake Como Private Classic Boat Experience from Como worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 61 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 Lake Como Private Classic Boat Experience from 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 Lake Como Private Classic Boat Experience from Como suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lake Como Private Classic Boat Experience from Como?
+
Around 21 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lake Como Private Classic Boat Experience from 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.
