Am meisten hat uns gefallen, die Gebäude von dieses Dorf sowie das Natur und das See. Das Essen dort war auch sehr lecker.

Insgesamt eine schöne Tour, die auch direkt im Tourist Information von Lugano gebucht werden kann. Der Guide ist sehr nett, geht auf alle Fragen ein und paßt das Tempo entsprechend der Gruppe an. Es werden schöne Plätze vom Park Luganos bis Gandria gezeigt. Allerdings wird der zeitliche Verlauf und die Streckenlänge vorher nicht richtig vermittelt. Uns war die Tour (10.00-15.00 Uhr) schon zu lang. Unbedingt feste geschlossene Schuhe anziehen. Ansonsten sehr empfehlenswert!
