Toboggan with minimal wait and a half day tour of Monte

Michelle_K, Jun 2026

Our guide was flexible and very helpful with pickups. We didn't have to wait much for the toboggan ride which saved alot of time so we could explore around the gardens and churches of Monte.

Marco was our guide to this ride. Gave a great history lesson the the origins of this toboggan ride. Great experience. Lots of fun, exciting, thrilling, something that everyone should do. Great to video the entire ride.

Highly recommended

Really good trip. Richard our guide was lovely - happy, very knowledgeable and accommodating. The gardens on the Monte are stunning and then we had an exciting ride down the hill in the baskets. Highly recommended.
