Avoid The View Lake Como… Terrible Customer Service
Absolutely unacceptable customer service. I would strongly advise people NOT to book with The View Lake Como. We had a booking for a boat tour and were delayed by railway works that were completely outside of our control. We contacted the company and literally asked them to wait just two minutes, but they refused. Fine — we understand that a tour may have to leave on time. What was completely unacceptable, however, was the way Mary handled the situation afterwards. She showed absolutely no willingness to help, no flexibility, and no basic customer care. We asked to be moved to another tour later that day or even to another day, and she refused to offer any reasonable solution. We were not asking for special treatment or a free tour. We were simply asking for a practical solution after missing the departure by a couple of minutes because of transport disruption. A professional company that actually values its customers would at least try to find an alternative, especially when there are other tours and other dates available. Instead, the attitude was dismissive, rigid and completely unhelpful. This was one of the worst customer service experiences we have had while travelling. The lack of empathy and unwillingness to even try to solve the situation left an extremely bad impression. I would never book with this company again, and I cannot recommend them to anyone. There are many boat tour operators on Lake Como — choose one that actually understands hospitality and knows how to treat paying customers with respect. I genuinely hope other travellers read this before booking, because our experience with The View Lake Como was deeply disappointing and completely ruined what should have been a beautiful day.

We really enjoyed the...
We really enjoyed the trip around Lake Como! The boat was spotless and I liked the small group. Our guide was lovely and knowledgeable. We had a glass of fizz which is a nice touch.

No Prosecco
Nice ride and beautiful boat but in the description it says you will be provided with Prosecco. We were not provided Prosecco.

Incredible experience, spectacular guide.
Wonderful experience in a wonderful place. Furthermore, Mauro is an incredible guide, not only very nice and friendly but truly very, very professional, in all languages. He made the experience go from 10/10 to 11/10. To be done again.

Shared Cruise on Classic Wooden Boat on Lake Como: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does Shared Cruise on Classic Wooden Boat on Lake Como cost?
+
Prices start at $72 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 Shared Cruise on Classic Wooden Boat on Lake 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 Shared Cruise on Classic Wooden Boat on Lake Como worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 10 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 Shared Cruise on Classic Wooden Boat 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 Shared Cruise on Classic Wooden Boat on Lake 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 Shared Cruise on Classic Wooden Boat on Lake Como?
+
Around 4 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 Shared Cruise on Classic Wooden Boat 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 Ghisallo Pilgrimage - Road and E-bike Tour, Lake Como Private Wooden Boat Tour & Italian Glamour, Small-Group Pasta and Tiramisu Class in Como with Aperitivo. 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.
