“I've been on many similar tours to this in other countries and have really enjoyed them; however, this one fell flat for me. It took us a long time to even get on the boat, and most of the information shared with us wasn't super interesting. Our guide was also giving the tour in multiple languages, making it feel even slower than necessary and it was difficult to hear her. I would recommend using the ferry to organize your own tour of Morcote.”

The views from the terrace of the restaurant at the end of the funicular were splendid. Funicular is steep and hot.”
