Totally disappointing. It's a tourist trap. Once the application is installed, it is impossible to connect to the hotspot.
Totally disappointing tourist traps.
Response from the operator: Bonjour, modérez votre langage car ce n'est pas une bonne attitude pour commencer. Concernant votre problème de connexion à l'application, nous avons reçu votre courriel le jour où vous avez fait la visite, ce à quoi nous avons répondu rapidement en vous apportant une assistance. Nous avons vérifié le problème lorsque vous nous avez écrit, mais nous n'avons rien trouvé de mal avec le système ou l'application, et nous avons également fourni une assistance en vous demandant de venir dans notre magasin, à moins de 5 minutes à pied du point de départ de la visite, pour vous aider avec le problème, mais vous n'avez jamais répondu, et d'après ce que nous comprenons, sans aucun retour de votre part, le problème a été résolu. Vous avez écrit l'e-mail à 10h14 et nous avons répondu à 10h19, en vérifiant les enregistrements de l'e-mail, que vous pouvez facilement trouver dans votre e-mail et dans le centre de gestion Viator. La prochaine fois, veuillez essayer de résoudre le problème ou de demander à quelqu'un d'autre de vous aider avec le problème que vous rencontrez avant de laisser un commentaire comme celui-ci sans avoir une bonne compréhension. Si vous avez répondu à notre message, le problème aurait pu être facilement résolu en quelques minutes.

Perfect very practical!
Thank you again for your help!!
Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup pour votre message! Nous sommes ravis d’avoir pu vous aider et de vous avoir facilité les choses. Au plaisir de vous revoir à Côme pour une prochaine balade !

No effectiveness to solve incidence at the moment gives the impression that they have played with our confidence and that you have.
I had an incident in the permission to reach the audio and they did not know how to help, I lost all morning trying to fix it but they did not provide help, I lost the amount despite having notified the incident 20 minutes from the scheduled time. I'm still waiting for an explanation.
Response from the operator: Hola, Como discutimos con el soporte de Viator, intentamos ayudarle de cualquier manera posible y respondimos a su mensaje de correo electrónico en 10 minutos. Sin embargo, nunca nos respondiste mientras estabas fuera de casa, a pesar de tener todos los correos electrónicos y chats grabados. También revisamos el problema y no encontramos ningún problema con el recorrido que compraste. Tal vez la próxima vez, deberías revisar los detalles más a fondo y entender mejor el concepto básico de usar un recorrido autoguiado. Es similar a revisar un coche que no arranca cuando no puedes girar la llave. El soporte de Viator incluso te reembolsó parcialmente, a pesar de que no había nada malo con el recorrido.

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lake Como: Self-Guided Walking Tour - Downtown Como: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does Lake Como: Self-Guided Walking Tour - Downtown Como cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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: Self-Guided Walking Tour - Downtown 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: Self-Guided Walking Tour - Downtown Como worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.1/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lake Como: Self-Guided Walking Tour - Downtown Como?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Lake Como: Self-Guided Walking Tour - Downtown Como suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Lake Como: Self-Guided Walking Tour - Downtown Como?
+
Around 3 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: Self-Guided Walking Tour - Downtown 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.
