Frequently asked questions

Before you book

Can the driver collect us somewhere else?
Write to us with the address: we tell you the price from there before you book.
Can we change the itinerary?
Yes, within the hours of the tour: a longer stop, one stop fewer, another order. Write it in the notes when you book and we confirm what fits.
Do we need passports?
No: the terrace is in Italy, and the tour does not cross the border. Switzerland is what you see below.
Is the cable car included?
No. The cable car from Argegno to Pigra runs at weekends and on public holidays, from 09:00 to 17:00: on those days there is time for it, and you buy the tickets at the station.

On the day

How much does lunch cost?
You order from the trattoria's menu and pay there. When we confirm the day we tell you which one it is, so you can see its menu.
