Great Walking Tour - We had a great tour of Lugano through Viator. Our guide Tej, went above and beyond explaining the history and sites of the city. It really gave us a better understanding of Lugano and its relationship to both Switzerland and Italy.

Wonderful tour to begin our vacation in Lugano - Florane gave my husband and me a wonderful tour of Lugano. She included many interesting facts about the city, along with places we should visit. Florane also gave us great suggestions for places to eat and even wrote them down for us. This tour was a fabulous way to start our stay in Lugano. We felt informed when planning our agenda for our two-day stay.

Nice intro to Lugano with a wonderful guide! - We booked this walking tour a few hours prior to the start and appreciated the last minute flexibility! We met with Florane who was pleasant and well informed about Lugano. Having never been, it was a great way to get oriented to the city, learn a little about the culture and history AND get some excellent recommendations on things to do and see. The length is perfect and Florane was a great guide! Thank you!

Quick yet packed info - We only had one hour to learn all you should know about Lugano history, culture, and key sights.. Mission accomplished. Our superb, young guide, Florane, a classically trained guitarist, was concise yet full of information which made us feel we had spent 3 hours touring. If all Swiss people are like her, it is a country to be admired.

Highly recommend this tour for newcomers to Lugano. - My 60 minute walking tour with Florane was fantastic. Being from Lugano, Florane is very knowledgeable about Lugano history and highlights enough landmarks in the brief tour that you leave ready to explore the area. She happily answers any questions and shares her recommendations. Highly recommend this tour!

A great way to get to know Lugano - Tash (sp?) was very engaging, knowledgeable and helpful. The walking tour was quite a bit longer than described which was fine. We saw enough of the city to get us started on our vacation here, and were able to find our way around easily afterwards. Tash also sent us an email after, including plenty of suggestions of things to do in and around Lugano.
