Very easy to book, skipping the line is great. And booking via GetYourGuide is cheaper. We were a bit confused at first and did not know which boat to take, but apparently a lot of boat drivers recognise GetYourGuide and are willing to take you, even if they work with another company))) definitely recommend!

Ein super Angebot und die Zeit hat für alle Inseln ausgereicht. Jedoch muss man bedenken, dass man auf den Inseln auch noch immer Eintritt zahlen muss, der nicht gerade günstig ist. Wir haben ein online Kombiticket für die Isola Bella und Isola Madre für 25 Euro gekauft und mussten so auch nicht in der ewig langen Schlange an der Kasse anstehen. Etwas unübersichtlich war es das richtige Boot immer zu finden, aber jeder Bootskapitän wusste über alle Anbieter Bescheid und konnte einem helfen. War ein sehr schöner Tag!
