If you are looking for the best, Subacco without a doubt! - Start from the end: the Subacco staff is serious, professional and competent. To summarize: we had bought two tickets for a boat tour with Subacco, we arrived at the meeting place on time and were invited to get on the boat by a captain. This boat is very different from the one pictured in our reservation, so we ask the captain several times if we are on the right boat. He tells us to stay calm and, once we've finished boarding, he leaves for the tour but we remain very perplexed. The tour lasts an hour, while we had paid for a 3 hour tour. We return to the starting point and meet Roberto, owner of Subacco, to whom we tell everything. Roberto immediately takes action and lets us catch up on the tour on one of his boats, guided by an impeccable captain who explains several anecdotes of the most beautiful villas overlooking Lake Como. The tour is very enjoyable, we also stop for a swim in a quiet area of the lake, with the captain uncorking a bottle of wine! TOP! Thanks again to Roberto! From Marco and Anne-Marie

Amazing service and tour! - Amazing boat, area and service! We had an issue with another tour company who accepted us on their boat without checking carefully our tickets : they scanned our QR codes but it didn't work and they didn't tell us!!! So we missed our real boat tour. When we realised and got out of this wrong tour, Roberto, from Subacco Lake Como, made all he could to help us and find a solution. He finally found us a tour later that day and it was amazing. Amazing lake, amazing guide! Thank you Roberto!

Semi-private Lake Como Boat Tour - Captain Giovanni made our tour memorable with his personable stories & exceptional boating skills, positioning the boat perfectly to allow the best photo shot views of the Villas with us included! A particular highlight was the 180 degree water view of the Villa Balbianello & the gardens & Richard Branson’s Villa!

Delightful Boat Tour - We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-hour boat tour on Lake Como with Giorgio sharing his knowledge of both the lake, surroundings, and villas owned by famous people from the present and past. It was clear that he enjoys his job. Remember to bring your swim suit and towel for a quick swim in Como.

Buyer be warned! - While the boat ride was a good deal for lake como it was not exactly organized or safe. There was no specifics broken down on the description of the listing so I just assumed we would get a run through of our itinerary.. which was not the case. Also there were 0 safety instructions during the course of the trip. We would ask questions and the driver would either ignore them or just brush them off. He even ended up getting hurt when someone didn’t understand how the back seat worked, thankfully not bad enough to require us to drive. Also the boat is packed like sardines. On a hot and sunny day on como this was so so uncomfortable. If you decide to take this trip bring your own water and other drinks /snacks if you want to enjoy anything before the last 30 minutes of the trip. It was a cheaper way to be on the lake but honestly don’t know that I would do it again,

Tell The Truth, Trip Advisor..... - My previous bad review was deleted. Be advised this tour is uncomfortable, cramped, on a very small boat with limited views of the Southern end of the lake. The snacks are nothing special and the entire experience was unprofessional. If the lake is rough you'll be bounced around and wet. You can rent your own boat or spend a bit more for a more professional guide and tour.

This is a Rip Off, run far away. - This entire operation is a rip off. The on shore guide is rude, uninformed and unhelpful. In addition to the $331.00 for the trip, they rip you off for another 30 Euros per person for gas. The boat is running a 100 hp Yamaha, with a boat that size, and 7 people on board he would easily get 18-20 MPG, the whole Lake is only 25 miles long. They hit all 6 people on board for an extra 30 Euros. The driver went way too fast, hardly able to see anything longer than a second, hit the waves too fast, killed my back and got the girls in the front of the boat soaked. This entire operation should be shut down.
