Lugano to Gandria by boat

Is this the brochure?

What exactly do you find confusing? Boat schedules including Gandria ar on page 2. The white columns are the schedule for the boat that goes between Lugano and Gandria and back, with one intermediate stop at Paradiso. The trip takes about 15 minutes. The upper schedule shows from Lugano to Gandria and the lower one shows the return. The first and last trip of the day have letters you need to translate using the key just to the left.

Lola, thank you for your response, but there is no page 2. Are you referring to the page that has the number 41 in the lower right hand corner? That page also states "boat tours" on the side. Is it a tour or a ferry. This is precisely what I find confusing.

If you were to print that PDF document on regular paper, the pages numbered "39" and "41" would print on the second page. That is the regular ferry timetable for planning your own route, such as straight to Gandria and straight back using regular one way or roundtrip tickets.

On later pages, some circular "tour" routes and tickets are described to help tourists plan the timing and cover the whole route with a single ticket. They don't include a guide, meal, or other excursion unless indicated. For the "Classic Tour" on page "8", I would infer that you can travel roundtrip and hop on and off where you wish but that the funiculars and museums shown on the route map are not included.

The way it loads on my iPad, it is "page 2 of 21" according to my screen. But yes, it is the one with 41 in the lower right-hand corner.

"Boat tours" is the English they use, and some of the boats do cover the whole lake, but it is not a guided tour, just transport. The Lugano to Gandria and back boats (shown in the white columns) are more of a shuttle.

Thank you for all replies to my question.
