A new friend showed me a new town for a perfect day! - Florane is an amazing and personable guide. It's like having a friend show you around their beloved town. She took into account my limited mobility issues and worked a great deal into our time together with a smooth flow. I was pleased she was able to answer my questions with confident knowledge. And brought a customized and personal touch to our tour. We chatted informally and comfortably as if we'd met before. Near the end Florane texted me notes on places to explore, shop and eat. She made sure my next few days would be full. I feel like I know Lugano now in a way I would not if I'd taken a standard tour, or explored on my own! This was money well spent and a great bargain, I hope I tipped her enough for the great afternoon she treated me to.

Great walking tour - Florane was a great tour guide and really helped us make the most of our little time in Lugano. While we got there a bit before our tour we walked through the streets to get a feel for the city ourselves. Once we started our tour she showed us beautiful art and architecture that we had missed while walking ourselves. At the end out of our tour she took time to help us navigate the cities public transportation so that we could see the top of monte San Salvatore.
