Wow! Federico and his company, Taxi boat Lake Como, is by far the best boat tour option on Lake Como. He is knowledgeable, charming, accommodating and professional. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend.
We had a great boat tour with Taxi Boat Mandello during our visit in Lake Como. Thank you so much to Giulia and Federico for looking after us!
This was the most enjoyable afternoon of our Italian vacation! Federico was a great tour guide. We highly recommend his boat tour
Taxi Boat Mandello was an amazing experience to see Lake Como from the water. We had a relaxing moment after our wedding ceremony. They are so kind and welcoming! Truly one of the best parts of our day.
Federico did a fantastic job. Very knowledable and answered all our questions.
Good at navigating choppy water. Boat was very comfortable.
Federico was a great tour guide showing us all around the amazing spots on Lake Como. Well worth the money to see the coast from the water side instead of the land side. Would recommend this company to everyone!
Best tour you can hire. Federico extremely polite, humorous and explains to us everything about the region! Thank you once again! The day was perfect!
We had a great time on this boat tour! Federico was very helpful and let us customize the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see. It was the highlight of our trip to Lake Como and definitely a must do!
We had an amazing experience! It was a pleasure to have Federico as a friendly and decent guide, would do it again anytime.
