Mountain Village afternoon - Wandering the streets of Bre and seeing the artwork, the wash trough and Wilhelm Schmidt's house now a museum. Our guide Katerina was able to present facts about being raised in Bre. The views from the terrace of the restaurant at the end of the funicular were splendid. Funicular is steep and hot.

Amazing Expierence! - We had an incredible day on this tour! We came as a large group of 7 (20 years old) and were only in Lugano for the day. The tour was the perfect bit of everything and we were able to experience so much more than we would have just walking around. Christina was our tour guide and her passion and knowledge of the city made the tour! Throughout the day there were many breathtaking views, niche facts about the city, and even great recommendations for exploring the city on our own. It was a diverse group on the tour, ranging all ages, and it was a great way to get to know everyone. If you are in Lugano I can't recommend this experience more, it was truly once in a life time!

Lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. - Went today, to the brecks for Sunday lunch, met and shown to table by Jess, ( lovely big smile, always polite and friendly.) The wife had Turkey Sunday lunch, plenty on the plate, looked and tasted great, she tells me. I had Sirloin steak, medium rare, lovely and tender with a peppercorn sauce, loved it. We were thinking of a pud, but were too full. Lovely afternoon, lovely meals, good waitress, very attentive, thanks Jess.

Good. - Impressionizing the climb especially if we look at the machines seen from the ground we have the impression that it rises to 90 °. However, the Attraction is still priced in the high range. In addition, parking is not included so we must find a balance to satisfy investors and visitors

Great trip - Tour guide Christine was excellent, however, they need to tell people with limited physical ability this is not the tour for them. I have only a slight issue with my knee and found this trip to be a bit troublesome for me. Uphill , uneven stones as well as at least 100 downhill stairs with no rail and stone stairs. Please be advised this is a lot of walking with uneven surfaces.
