Unforgettable Experience on Lake Como with Riky!!
Unforgettable Experience on Lake Como with Ricky! We had the pleasure of taking a private boat tour with Riky (Riccardo) from Moltrasio to Lezzeno, and it was an unforgettable experience. There were eight of us, but the boat was still spacious and comfortable—perfect for enjoying the evening in relaxation. Ricky was the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness. He guided us along the lake’s shores, sharing with knowledge the stories of the towns we passed and the stunning villas overlooking the water. He took the time to stop at the most scenic spots, letting us soak in the views and take photos. He offered us drinks during the tour, and on the way back, he set the perfect mood with some background music. Even at night, he remained extremely professional, making us feel safe and well looked after at all times. An experience I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see Lake Como from a unique perspective. Thank you, Ricky, for your hospitality, warmth, and for making our evening so memorable!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private guided speedboat cruise on Lake Como from 1H to 4H: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does Private guided speedboat cruise on Lake Como from 1H to 4H cost?
+
Prices start at $350 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 Private guided speedboat cruise on Lake Como from 1H to 4H take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Private guided speedboat cruise on Lake Como from 1H to 4H worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 45 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 Private guided speedboat cruise on Lake Como from 1H to 4H?
+
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 Private guided speedboat cruise on Lake Como from 1H to 4H suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private guided speedboat cruise on Lake Como from 1H to 4H?
+
Around 16 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private guided speedboat cruise on Lake Como from 1H to 4H 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.
