Breathtaking day in Switzerland - The Valle Verzasca with its clear river and impressive waterfall is simply fantastic! The private tour in Ascona was particularly beautiful – very informative and personal. An unforgettable excursion!

Humorous and engaging experience - Giorgio was a wonderfully humorous and knowledgeable host. He treated us like old friends he was sharing the countryside with. He happily shared the historical and socio-political contexts of this region. He even purchased a local wine for us! I’d happily recommend him to anyone and am sad that we can’t go on more of his offered tours!

Worth the diversion and cost of parking - Really attractive - park further up the valley, hand over your ransom for three hours, then go and enjoy the bridge, water, and village.

Honeymoon - The scenery was beautiful! We loved seeing villages and churches built in the 1500-1600s that were still going strong today. The waterfalls were gorgeous and our guide was very knowledgeable!

Great experience, I recommend wearing pants or shorts - My husband and I had such a great experience on this tour with Giorgio! He was very accommodating in picking us up from our hotel as we weren’t staying in Lugano. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable, and he seemed to have a passion for helping people explore another culture. The description just says walking to the river and visiting the waterfall, but dress accordingly for that. Maybe don’t wear a skirt or dress due to the walk to both of those. Other than that, anything works as the rest of the tour is in a car or walking around various towns and villages. The views are beautiful and the history is fascinating!
