    We definitely recommend this full day tour!

    We really enjoyed the trip with Giorgio. It was great that he spoke our language, making communication much easier. He gave us plenty of time at the Verzasca River to swim and explore the area. We stopped at key landmarks, and he shared a lot of interesting information with us A few days before the tour, we ran into an issue and asked to change the date; Giorgio was very accommodating and helped us cancel and rebook the tour online. We definitely recommend this full day tour!

    Clean and beautiful

    We were very surprised and very impressed by Ascona. The boat tour was very nice. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. We were very satisfied with the services of ISS facility service.

    Verzasca valley

    This tour was 7-8 hours of exploration of the mountains north of Lugano. We stopped at tiny villages, water falls, river, and lakes. It was beautiful to explore the pre alps with a guide that seemed to know everyone along the way.
