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!

Great Tour with Giorgio! - A very enjoyable tour. Loved tour visits to the rural mountain towns - a genuine “off the beaten path” and step back in time experience, not to mention the gorgeous mountain views. Our guide was Giorgio of whom nothing was too much ask. He was very kind, accommodating and went far beyond the call of duty to make sure we had a great tour.

I recommend it. - The guide was very knowledgeable and told a lot of stories. Rivers, waterfalls and a city with history were all fascinating and soothing. You can swim in the river, so you should take a swimsuit. I didn't go in because it was very cold and there was nowhere to change, but the local kids and young people seemed to be having fun.
